PROCEEDINGS OF THE Society for Psychical Resea PART lo^—DECEMBER, 1927 LIBRARY CATALOGUE COMPILED BY THEODORE BESTERMAN HONORARY LIBRARIAN PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY ROBERT MACLEHOSE AND CO. LTD. THE UNIVERSITY PRESS GLASGOW ; PKEFACE The Society's Library has been completely re-organised during the past year. The books have been arranged on the shelves by subject and date, many useless ones having been turned out ; the important collection of pamphlets has been classified and boimd, as have been several hundred books •"^w bookcases have been fitted and, finally, the present ; catalogue has been compiled on a detailed and luiiform plan. During the next few years the Library can anticipate a further and considerable increase in usefulness : the result of a generous grant of £250 a year for four years made by the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust for the purchase of books and the Uke. At the end of this period those borrowing works, or consulting them in the Society's Rooms, wiU have at their disposal a thoroughly representative collection of books, pamphlets and periodicals on psychical research and on the neighbouring departments of psychology and philosophy. This development wiU involve, for some time, a great many changes in the disposition of the books on the shelves. For this reason the press-marks have not been printed in the present catalogue, and it is therefore at present impos- sible, without reference to the Library itself, to distinguish those books which are available for reference only, and not for borrowing. Such books are kept in cases 11 and 12 and on shelves i. and k. of case 10. In the explanatory notes attached to many of the entries, the books have been described as far as possible in the iii „.-i'. iv „ „ „ Preface words of "tlidK .'^ liters i- and tk-e Society does not, of course, accept responsibility for such statements. Where, for instance, a book is described as consisting of automatic writ- ings, this should be understood to mean that a statement to this effect is contained in the book itself. These explanatory notes comprise, further, a reference to the volume and page of the Society's Journal or Proceedings in which a given work may have been reviewed (not more than a dozen books and pamphlets so reviewed are lacking effect from the Library) ; a note to that where a work contains an inscription by the author and where it contains a in the case of pamphlets off bibhography ; and, printed from, or forming part of, a periodical, an exact reference to that periodical (these particulars have been successfully traced in all but some half-a-dozen cases). A word of thanks is due to Messrs MacLehose for the speed and accuracy with which they have carried out the printing of the Catalogue. Th. B.
