Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook of the Libraries in the District of Columbia
Upon the chairman of the committee, as in the best position to expedite the undertaking, the responsibility then fell; and as he is the Chief Bibliographer of the Library of Congress, the publi cation itself has been undertaken by this Library - Which in any event would have been appropriate.
For the reasons explained above, as a statement it is doubtless lacking both in completeness and accuracy of detail. There has not been time even to submit the items for revision to the various libraries described. It may be perfected in a later edition. In the meantime, it may prove serviceable as it stands.
