About the Book
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902. Excerpt: ... INDEX TO SPECIAL COLLECTIONS IN NEW YORK LIBRARIES. The figures refer to the serial numbers of the libraries and not to the pages of the list. When the subject is found, turn to the library indicated and see upon what conditions, if any, the collection is available. It should be borne in mind that the larger libraries may have more volumes upon a given subject unreported than a smaller library which reports it. In addition to books upon given subjects most libraries also have many pamphlets upon the same subject. This Index does not claim to give a complete list of all the special subjects to be found in the libraries of New York, but only some of the most important ones.
