Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Printed Books and Manuscripts of the Library of the New College, Edinburgh The' following Catalogue will be most easily understood, as respects its nature and purpose, from a statement both of what it is not, and of what it is. It is not bibliographical or descriptive. A few notes, taken chiefly from writers who are regarded as authorities, - such as Panzer, Le Long, Horne, Pettigrew, and Cotton, have been added to several of the entries under the heading, Bibles and an occasional explanatory statement will be found in other parts of the volume. But these are neither so numerous nor so 'elaborate as to entitle the Catalogue to a character which it was never designed that it should possess.
