The list also includes scholarly and professional work published by Library staff.

(A special issue largely devoted to a report by the Working Group on Standards for Archival Description, chaired by Lawrence Dowler, Associate Librarian of for Public Services. The Working Group was formed out of the conviction that something needed to be done to fos- ter the development of standards for archival description. The Working Group's report presents a coherent case to the profession, explaining what standards can be, what role such standards could play, what potentials the Working Group sees, and what realities must be recognized. This issue of The American Archivist contains the Working Group's report, recommendations, checklists, and three background papers that gave the project its overall shape. Ten additional background papers, prepared for the Working Group's second meeting, will appear in the Winter 1990 issue, but abstracts of their contents are included here.) Becker, David P.

Philadelphia: American Philosophical Society, 1990. (Twenty years ago the Kress Library of Business and Economics at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration acquired the interleaved and annotated copy of the Cotton Manufacture of the (1840) by James Montgomery, a Glasgow cotton-mill manager who had emigrated to New England. The book's original publication in 1840 was a major event. For the first time a precise and reli- able comparison, at both technical and commercial levels, was made between cotton production in Britain, the first industrial nation, and in the U.S., its youthful rival. Montgomery's data and assessments were subjected to close scrutiny, especially in New England where his estimates of power costs favored water power rather than the new technology of steam power. Controversy erupted in the Boston newspa- pers, and in response, Montgomery prepared an interleaved edition of his book in readiness for a second edition which was never published. Until the Kress Library obtained the volume its existence was unknown to scholars.) Harvard Library Bibliography: Supplement 73

(For 250 years after its introduction to Europe around 1600, the method of decorating paper known as marbling reigned supreme as the chief means of embellishing the fine work of hand bookbinders. Marbled papers also adorned everything from wall coverings to stationery and were used for many decorative purposes in the home. Yet the techniques and art of the marblers' craft remained obscure, and today it is a craft practiced by only a few artisans and many hobbyists. In this book, Mr. Wolfe, who has been a practicing marblist for over 25 years, reconstructs the rise and fall of the craft and offers the most comprehensive account 76 HARVARD LIBRARY BULLETIN
