Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Theol. Seminary in Andover, MassDr. Robinson on his return and election to the o¿ice of Prof. Extra ordinary and Librarian, in 1830, as a part of his duties, commenced a new and full Catalogue, and labored upon it constantly for between four and five months. When, on account of ill health and other causes, he, in 1833, resigned his situation, the fruit of his labor was left behind him in manuscript. This last, though made out with all the thoroughness and minute accuracy for which this gentleman is remarkable, had been written in a very fine hand, for his own eye, and was left uncopied. Such, with a few additions made by different persons, were the materi als which I found for the present work, on being invited some time since by the Trustees, to engage in the undertaking. Every thing else was to be done, the original investigations and entrances to be completed, and the whole to be arranged, harmonized, recopied, verified, printed, etc. I have been over the entire ground, and with few exceptions, trust ed nothing even to the accuracy of my learned predecessors. My ob ject under the countenance of those who employed me, has been to ex bibit a full and perfect alphabetical description of every thing the library contains. While, therefore, I availed myself of their labors and general guidance, it was necessary for me, however tedious the process, to see and do every thing for myself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
