Excerpt from List of Bibliographical Works in the Reading Room of the British Museum In selecting the books for this purpose, it has been the aim to represent every subject, as far as space in the Reading Room admits of it. But on many topics no satisfactory bibliographical guide exists: in other cases the works existing are much behind the literature of the present time, or have never been completed. Some books will therefore be found included which only remain until they can be replaced by more efficient works. It will be seen that the various bibliographical works standing in other parts of the Reading Room have been included with those in the extra cases in this list, for the sake of systematic arrangement and as a convenience to the readers.
