Excerpt from The Library Journal, 1894, Vol. 19: Official Organ of the American Library Association; Chiefly Devoted to Library Economy and Bibliography Mr. R. R. Bowker, in the preface to the last two volumes of the American Catalogue, has outlined a scheme for the publication of a General catalogue of American publications of the nineteenth century. The enterprise is praiseworthy from every point of view, and it is to be hoped that it will meet with the pecuniary encouragement that such a project deserves. The successful completion of sucha work, thor oughly executed and appropriately published, would be one of the great bibliographical monu ments of the age, and would reflect credit upon every person having a hand in its pro duction.
