Excerpt from English Prose Fiction: Including Translations The last catalogue of English fiction was published in 1891. In addition to the customary alphabetical arrangement according to authors and titles, the works included in it were classified according to subject matter. The value of the catalogue for reference purposes was further enhanced by notes suggesting books for collateral reading. For such purposes, the catalogue of 1891 is of lasting value. Owing to the changes which have taken place in the contents of the fiction portion of the library, however, its usefulness as a record of available books has been much impaired. New books have been added and old ones have been worn out and removed from the shelves. Of the latter class, many being out of print have not been replaced. The necessity for a new guide to the available works of fiction becoming more and more pressing, this finding list has been prepared.
