Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Literature of Aesthetics It will be the aim Of future bibliographies to take up special topics Of aesthetic criticism, to analyze them minutely, and to collect from available sources whatever references are found to bear upon them. Such a bibliography in respect Of Literary Criticism has been prepared, and will shortly be sent to press. In the collection of material the work has Of necessity been confined to two University libraries, neither Of which is SO well equipped with special treatises on aesthetics as might be desired. Furthermore, since the list has been, in general, limited to works consulted at the shelves, the compilers have been, at times, reduced to the citation Of an inferior edition, although they knew that a later and, presumably, better edition existed. But to bow to this inevitable has seemed wiser than to circulate information at second hand. Of course, in a few cases, reference has been made to volumes not owned by either library, volumes, however, altogether too important to be omitted from a general list. A few. Signs and abbreviations may need explanation. Prog. Means that the work is one Of the numerous and valuable Ger man set-programme. The letter p. Before numbers is used, even in case Of foreign works, for page, and is omitted after the first reference. If the first reference is to paragraphs or sections, the following numbers, unless otherwise indicated, have the same significance. In the references to subj ect-matter, the subject fol lows immediately, and Without punctuation, the number of the page or paragraph. The compilers desire to acknowledge their indebtedness to Mr. J. C. Rowell, Librarian Of the University Of California, whose counsel and ready aid in all matters technical and biblio graphical, have rendered the preparation Of this work much less laborious than they had feared.
