Book Description
Excerpt from The Library of the University of California In conclusion, it only remains for me to express my warm thanks to Lord De Tabley and to Mr. A. W. Franks, c.b.; to the former for allowing me to make use, without oft-repeated acknowledgment, of the matter contained in his Guide to the Study of book-plates, a second, and much amplified edition of which we may hope will, before long, make its appearance; to the latter, not only for constant advice and assistance, but also for the loan from his collection of nearly all the book-plates with reproductions of which this volume is illustrated.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Library of the University of California Los Angeles If we sum up the circumstances that will tell against Camoens abroad, we have: the general ignorance of the language in which he wrote; the too great loss he has suffered by translation; the lesser hold that Por tugal has on the imagination of the world; the inferior interest of the Portuguese language on this account; and, lastly, the shade that Columbus casts, specially in the American mind, over Vasco da Gama, as heroes of the Age of Discovery. Do not think I am making my favourite appear so handicapped to withdraw him from the field. I stick to his colours. I only want to explain to you the indifference felt for the lusiads beyond the limits of the Portuguese language.

Book Description
Excerpt from Presented to the University Library University of California San Diego I 796, covered the country within a radius of fifty leagues about Auvergne, exchanging pottery, plat ters, plates, glasses, in a word, household articles required by the poorest families, for old iron, copper, lead, metal of any sort, whatever disguise it might have assumed. The Auvergnat gave an earthen ware saucepan worth two sous for a pound of lead, or for two pounds of iron, a broken spade, a broken hoe, or an old cracked kettle; and, being always the judge in his own cause, he weighed his junk himself. After the third year, Sauviat added the trade of cop persmith to his other trade In 1793 he was able to purchase a chateau sold as national property, and pulled it to pieces; the profit he made by that trans action he duplicated doubtless at several points in his sphere of operations; later, these first essays sug gested to him the idea of proposing to one of his fellow-provincials in Paris a similar business on a grand scale. Thus, the Black Band, so famous by reason of its demolitions, originated in the brain of old Sauviat the peddler, whom all Limoges saw for twenty-seven years in that poor shop, among his cracked bells, his balances, his chains, his iron rods, his twisted leaden gutters, his old metal of all sorts; we must do him the justice to say that he never knew of the celebrity or the extensive operations of that association; he profited by it only in proportion to the funds entrusted by him to the famous house of Brezac.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Library of the University of California Riverside Half a century has passed since the bells in the old square tower tolled on that memor able day, but the peace with which the poet touched the fevered life of the centuryhas not lost its healing, nor has his message lost its power. There are still differences of opinion concerning minor points in his work, but his genius is no longer questioned; and his art, in its best moments, has won complete recognition. Some foreign critics, it is true, have doubted and even sneered; but one of the most valuable of recent contributions to the large literature which has grown up about Wordsworth comes from the hand of a very intelligent and sympa thetic French critic. It is safe to say that, in the settled opinion of this country and of England, Wordsworth gave the world between 1798 and 1815 work that has enriched English poetry for all time both in substance and in form. For this poetry had not only a new music for the ear which made men think suddenly of mountain brooks; it had also a new View of nature and a new conception of life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bancroft Library: The Library of the University of California The State should. Own its history. Other states and nations have galleries of art, historical museums, zoological gardens and libraries of history. The State of California has begun a period of splendid growth. She may reasonably hope in the future to rank among the first of States. Why should she not do herself this honor? The intense struggle for wealth in California needs the ameliorating influences of literature and art. They will relieve the pressure upon our prisons and asylums. This library is marketable abroad, to go into some great university or national library. But local state pride and self-respect demand that it remain here in the centre of the territory of which it is so magnificent a history. That the price asked the State is a reasonable price is clearly shown by the appended appraise ments and valuations. It cannot be hoped that any merely literary proposition will be understood by, or meet with the approval of all. But the library is, open toand invites scrutiny, and is first offered to the State. If the State does not choose to buy it, we shall at least have done our patriotic duty in offering the opportunity.

Excerpt from The Library: The University of California Los Angeles The weather was anything but propitious. Thick lowering clouds were gathering in the south-east, and everything seemed to threaten that in a very short time a severe snowstorm would fall upon us. This in itself would have been of no consequence had it not been that it would, firstly, hinder us from seeing the splendid rock-formations of Alten, and secondly.

Book Description
Excerpt from Library of the University of California, Vol. 1: Contents-Index This volume is a result of the endeavor to utilize all the resources of a comparatively small but valuable Library of reference. Two working tools of the collection are the short-title analytical Author Catalogue and the full-title classified Subject Catalogue. Early in our experience, however, it became evident that the cataloguing ordinarily done was insufficient to meet the demands of university study, and the practice of indexing books and magazines immediately upon their receipt was begun. To prevent the subject catalogue from attaining an unwieldy growth and to retain its character as an actual shelf-guide, the experiment was made of writing the index upon sheets of note paper size arranged alphabetically in boxes placed upon the librarians desk where it was centrally located for purposes of reference and available for the insertion of fresh entries at any moment. Fourteen years of trial have demonstrated the success of the experiment as a labor and time-saver in the daily assistance to readers. Generally, nothing less in extent than a ten octavo-page article has been entered in the index. Dates following the name of a person are those of his birth and death. Roman numerals (excepting the lower-case v. for volume) signify a series, period or portion of a work. Volume and page numbers are separated by a colon. A dash after the page number denotes continuation of the article. A word of explanation is needed. Important and useful as indexing may be, to be clone at all in a library where the entire labor is performed by two persons, it must be executed in the most expeditious manner consistent with accuracy, and many of the niceties of bibliographic work must be disregarded. As, however, this volume will be consulted mainly by the professional librarian, it is hoped that the use of abbreviated titles, the omission of initials, etc., may not seriously affect its value. A vast number of references, since printed in Poole's Index to periodical literature, have been omitted; a few only, by reason of local authorship or interest, have been retained. During the progress of this Index through the press a large number of books and periodicals have been received, and references to them, falling under the first part of the alphabet, will appear in the second volume, for which sufficient material will have accumulated when an additional forty or fifty thousand volumes have accrued.
