Excerpt from An Union List of Collections on European History in American Libraries: Compiled for the Committee on Bibliography of the American Historical Association Besides corrections, this edition contains eighteen additional titles of the more important sets overlooked in previous printings and nearly two thousand additions to the located copies. On the other hand, however, about a score of duplicate or faulty titles have been withdrawn. The thanks of the Committee and of all historical students are due to the libraries which have so cordially co-operated. The considerable amount of work implied on the part of each co-operating library naturally made some hesitate at first and until the meaning and usefulness to both libraries and historical students was fully explained and understood, but the universally cordial and even enthusiastic response, after the matter was understood, has been most gratifying. The check list was sent out last year (1911) and the results compiled and presented as a report at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association at Buffalo in December of that year. Some of the figures and inferences of this report will be found following this preface. The Check List, uncorrected as to bars, but with indication of location of copies added, as in the present edition, was issued in March as a proof edition.
