Draft Catalog for Letters "R" and "S"

Containers:

Box 09, Folder 108

Scope and content:

This listing of "R" titles is largely the same as that copied by the directors for the 1876 catalog, but appears to be in a different hand (most noticeably the number 8). The listing for "S" appears to be the same hand as "R." Also included are two pieces of paper with additional titles, and notes in blue asking that additional space be left for new titles to be added. That feature of the main 1876 catalog is absent here and may be the reason it was not included in a complete volume.

Language:

English

Processing information:

A copy of the "S" section of the 1876 catalog was found in the circulation book for the early 1840s, although it dated from decades later. It was moved to the same folder as the "R" section, being from the same period and seemingly in the same hand. They were also given a date along with the 1876 catalog.

Arrangement:

The main listing of titles is alphabetical by titles beginning with the letters "R" and "S."
