Excerpt from Classified Catalogue of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1895-1902, Vol. 1 of 3: General Works, Philosophy, Religion, Sociology, Philology, Natural Science, Useful ArtsA dictionary catalogue listing about volumes of the collection had been prepared in pamphlet form and was ready for distribution at the formal opening of the Library to the public. A second impression of this, with slight corrections, was quickly supplied. Since that time no catalogue in book form, attempting to cover the whole of the Library's collee tions, has been issued. A decision was soon reached, how ever, to issue regular monthly bulletins of additions to the Library and these began to appear in April 1896. The next year a department of printing was created and not only the Monthly Bulletin but also the cards for the regular card catalogues of the Library, including those of the branches as established, were issued in printed form. The composition was by linotype and the metal was preserved in the form of type so that lists and catalogues of various kinds might be printed from time to time without incurring the cost of re setting the matter. These type-forms have been used in the making of a number of such lists.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
