The article presents information on the book "Catalogue of the John Carter Brown Library," vol. 1. The John Carter Brown Library, in Providence, Rhode Island has been known for more than fifty years as one of the really important libraries in the country. Its special collection, confined to books on American history printed before 1800, and its liberal management have given it a high place with students. A printed catalogue is the natural advertisement of the riches of a library and is the more necessary in proportion as the library is specialized.
