wh ich rendered necessary the
issue o f a Th ird vo lume .
The firs t port ion o f the matter

January , 1876 . The firs t volume
o f the reproduc t io n in bo ok fo rm wen t to press in 1880,
the second in 1884 . What has been described as a long
and labo rio u s task, bu t o ne correspondingly necessary and

It is obvio u s that the me thod o f publ icat ion and the
alphabe t ical system o f arrangement o f th is work mu s t
have precluded the ci tat ion o f many works wh ich , if the
B ibl iography had been o n ly now issued as a who le,
wou ld have been included. Th is shortcom ing is remedied
by the reco rd and rev iew o f new bo oks given in the
