Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Finding List of Genealogies and Town and Local Histories: Containing Family Records in the Public Library of the City of Boston The late Arthur M. Knapp, then Custodian of Bates Hall, had in December, 1898, completed a revised and greatly enlarged edition of a list of genealogies and local histories which was published in the Bulle tin of this Library for October, 1891. The material as thus left was practically in the definite shape in which Mr. Knapp wished it to appear. Miss Agnes C. Doyle has since made additions to and re vised the titles, without disturbing the original plan of the list. The work is now offered as a guide to persons searching for genealogical clues, and is in no sense to be considered as constructed on biblio graphical lines. It is especially meant for practical use within the limits of the Central Library. It is hoped eventually to make a list, which shall include not only the present matter, with more bibliographical detail, but also more in the way of genealogical material, such as British county and town histories, parish registers, wills, etc., of which this Library has an important collection, and to which it is constantly adding. The pres ent index may therefore be regarded as prefatory only to a more com prehensive attempt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
