Abstract
THE former edition of this catalogue, which was published in 1898, was scarcely more than a pamphlet. In the edition before us we have a volume of nearly 500 pages crowded with the titles, usually as brief as possible, of the books, pamphlets, manuscripts, and drawings—altogether about 12,000—comprised in the Lindley Library, which is controlled by a body of trustees for the benefit of the fellows of the Royal Horticultural Society and others, and is at present housed in the Society's hall in Vincent Square, Westminster. The Society now includes upwards of 25,000 fellows, whose privileges include access to this rich collection of literature at all times when the library is open, and the borrowing of books from it under certain restrictions.
The Lindley Library: Catalogue of Books, Pamphlets, Manuscripts and Drawings.
Pp. viii + 488. (London: Royal Horticultural Society, 1927.) To Fellows, 17s. 6d.; to Non-Fellows, 21s.
