PREFACE.

This list has been compiled mainly from the records of books received at the Library of the Woman's Building during the World's Fair. The compilers have used, so far as it was completed, the card catalogue of authors, classes, and biographical statistics of authors, which was prepared at the Library of the Woman's Building from May to August, during the Fair. As the printing of that more elaborate catalogue was found too costly for present means, this brief list is issued to give the public an idea of the extent and value of the exhibit. The compilers have used also the catalogues of the New York and Illinois State Boards of books exhibited by them. The aim is to present a complete record of the more than 7,000 volumes that were actually exhibited. In many cases books named on the lists sent in by the Boards of the different states and countries are shown by the records to have failed to come. If any book is not found in these pages, it must be that that book failed to reach the Woman's Building before the 20th of September, 1893.

The music, of which there was a large and valuable collection, and the many valuable manuscripts have not been included in the list.

Acknowledgements should be made of nearly 4,000 books which are presented as a nucleus of a Woman's Memorial Library.

As it was impossible to have access to the books in the compilation of this list, the compilers recognize that it is far from perfect, and will be glad to receive corrections of its errors.
