Excerpt from Hand-List of Bibliographies, Classified Catalogues, and Indexes: Placed in the Reading Room of the British Museum for Reference The present list is chiefly confined to Bibliographies, but it may perhaps be as well to point out that much useful bibliographical assistance may be obtained from the extensive collection of biographies and literary histories in the Reading Room. How numerous these are will be seen by referring to the Index of Subjects in the published List of the Books of Reference drawn up for the use of readers by Mr. Rye.
