_Locating Bookplates_
Bookplate collectors who desire to know what collections have been
assembled, where they are, the type of material gathered, how they are
cared for, and their availability for study and consultation, should
procure a copy of “A Census of Bookplate Collections in Public, College
and University Libraries.” It was compiled by Carlyle S. Baer, presiding
genius of the American Society of Bookplate Collectors & Designers, and
Miss Clara Therese Evans, of Columbia University. The cost is $1.00 and
it can be obtained by writing to Mr. Baer at 1763 Euclid St., N.W.,
Washington, D. C.
Robert L. Shurter presents in the July, 1939, issue of the SOUTH
ATLANTIC QUARTERLY, an article on “The Writing of Looking Backward”, in
which the facts regarding the composition, purpose, and subsequent
influences of Edward Bellamy’s novel are set forth.
We understand that a committee of bibliographers headed by Lawrence C.
Wroth, librarian of the John Carter Brown Library, Providence, is making
plans for the compilation and publication of a “Cooperative Catalogue of
Americana, 1700-1800”, and will be based upon material now housed in the
principal libraries of this country. It will contain all eighteenth
century historical material relating to the Western hemisphere, except
newspapers, broadsides, maps, prints, almanacs, legislative and
administrative proceedings and statute laws. A preliminary survey has
disclosed that only about half of the existing material is recorded in
either Sabin or Evans.
