Book Description

Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Library of the North China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (Including the Library of Alex Wylie, Esq.), 1872: Systematically Classed Owing to the want of a complete Catalogue, the Library of the north-china Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society has been hitherto practically inaccessible to the Public. The few students and savants Who were obliged to have recourse to it for their researches - had only for guides the somewhat meagre list of Books and Charts printed in the Council's Report for the year 1865, the manuscript list of the books forming the collection of Mr. Wylie and the memory of the Librarian.
