Excerpt from Analytical and Classified Catalogue of the Library of the Parliament of Queensland Eight years ago, in a Report which was laid before Parliament, I pointed out amongst other things the great practical utility which would result from classifying the books in the Library, and cataloguing them on some of the latest and best approved systems. The former of these undertakings (both of which were authorised in due course) filled up the two recesses which followed; and since its completion I have been busily engaged with the latter. Of the importance of a good catalogue there can be no doubt.
