$a The 'Preface' is printed above the name, 'William Frederick Yeames, R.A., Librarian. Royal Academy Of Arts, Burlington House: February 1901.' The Preface concludes with Yeames's acknowledgment of 'aid that Mr. Henry R. Tedder, the Secretary and Librarian of the Athenæum Club, has given in the task of editing and superintending the publication of this volume.' The printers' name is repeated in the colophon. |

$a This catalogue, like that of 1877, is not arranged by subject but in alphabetic arder of author, with a few titles and subject-headings interspersed for anonymous or institutional publications. There is no subject index. The Preface states, 'To this alphabetical author-catalogue it is hoped that there may be added an analytical subject-index to the whole collection', but no such index was published. The text lists works ('... works of reference and other books chiefly in general literature ... are not included'), but does not list their locations in the library. In his Preface Yeames remarks, 'The literature connected with the fine arts extends to so vast an accumulation of books, many of them being of small permanent value, that a well-considered system of selection is absolutely necessary in order that the Library may properly serve its main purpose of administering to the requirements of the Members and Students of the Academy. ... Mr Hart ... in his "Observations ..." prefixed to the Catalogue of 1877, laid stress on "the necessity of making the Library a factor in the teaching power worthy of a College of Art", and this intention, which was conscientiously kept in view by the late librarian Mr. Hodgson, has been followed by his successor.' Printed catalogues of the Royal Academy's Library were published in 1802, 1821, 1841, 1864, 1877 and 1901. |
