edition, plus 14 new items (notably rem-• edying the earlier. omission of works by Shores, • Lowell, and others) that fall within the scope of the 1968 volume. In contrast with the •first edition, sections within the classified arrangement have been more clearly set apart so that subject or geographical headings do not begin near the bottom of the page, and. phrase headings have been included at the top of each page. The introduction to part II indicates that the author, title, school, date; pages, and bibliography (if any) have been included for each entry. Yet, the reader finds that pagination has been omitted for some eighty entries-most notably printed works. The annotations are generally good, although length and quality vary greatly. A published doctoral disse1tation on the. New York Public Library, for instance, is described in eight lines whereas the following entry for a seventy-six-page master's thesis on the Chemung County Library receives fifteen lines. J. •P. Danton used to • tell his graduate students in preparing works for publication that historical materials should be scrutinized and proofread at least twice, and bibliographies no fewer than three times. Unfortunately, the number of misspelled names, incorrect dates, and errors involving typography, pagination, reversed order, and incorrect words is high. Thurber's work on libraries in the land-grant colleges (entry number 242 in the first edition) has been dropped. In the annotations for three entries concerned with Ainsworth Rand Spofford, it is variously reported that Spofford ". ... served as Librarian of Congress for nearly half a century, 1864-1897" (actually 33 years), that Spofford had a "40 year reign at the Library of Congress," and that Spofford " ... served the Library of Congress for 4 7 years (1861-1908) , 33 of them as Director." Both author and subject indexes have been included. Again, unfortunately, errors of omission, misspelling, incorrect order, etc., may be found in the former. In the subject index one is puzzled why the author has omitted entries for Alabama, Denver, Galveston, Hartford, Houston, •etc., in the geographical names category; for the Forbes • Library, the University of Minne-Recent Publications I 331•
