Published listing of books in the collection, arranged by general subject (e.g., art, foreign works, science, etc.) and giving location of each. The volume's "explanation" notes that, "As the catalogue is designed simply for the use of the subscribers of the Library, it was not necessary to mention the edition, the number of pages, or the size of the volumes." Nor do the listings give complete author identifications, but rather rely on such descriptions as "Scott's works," with a tabulation of Sir Walter's titles thereunder. In addition to the listings the volume also includes a preface and a brief index.
