Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cruickshank Science Library, Vol. 2: Subject Catalogue This Subject Catalogue of the Cruickshank Science Library contains the titles of about one-third of the books in the Departments of Pure Science (mathematics, Astron omy, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Palaeontology, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Anthropology) and Agriculture, including Forestry and Veterinary Science - being those which it is Specially desired to bring under the notice of the student. The remaining two-thirds are titled either in the author catalogues printed in 1878-74, 1887 and 1897, or in the manuscript sheaf catalogues (both of authors and of subjects), which may be consulted in the Library. To keep the booklet of a convenient size, the titles have been cut down as far as is consistent with clearness. Authors' pre-names are entered as initials only, while the names of editors and of translators are omitted, save in exceptional cases. No cross - references are given from the names of joint authors, and books of composite authorship have not been analysed.
