A Plea for Annual Lists of State-Papers and Annual Reviews of State-Papers, as being essential preliminaries to State-Paper Catalogues [Elektronische Daten] [F. B. F. CAMPBELL] PREFATORY NOTES. (i.) As read, this paper originally included a general preface written with the view of emphasising the importance of making State-Papers more available for public use, and showing in a general manner that in no country had the treatment of State-Papers been anything but disappointing, if we compared the actual results with the standard of success which it is quite possible to attain to. I have decided, however, to omit this preface as being a branch of the subject which might more profitably form the subject matter of a separate paper.(ii.) I find, after further experience and investigations, that the whole subject of State-Paper Lists, Reviews, and Catalogues is even more dependent for success on attention to prior steps of work than I had originally realised. For this reason, the matter cannot be comprehensively or satisfactorily dealt with, without first enunciating more fully than I have already done (in my previous paper) the Theories appertaining to those earlier stages, viz., the Theory of Compilation, and the Theory of Publication. It will be seen; therefore, that I have commenced the whole subject backwards, beginning with the last stage instead of with the first. I do not regret this, however, as I believe that the subject may perhaps be made more readily intelligible in this manner than by the alternative method. Having then already dealt with the final stage (A State-Paper Catalogue), I shall now try and show cause for my advocacy of Annual Lists and Annual Reviews of State-Papers. © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence The Library Oxford University Press s1-4/1(1892), 175-183 0024-2160 s1-4:1<175 1892 s1-4 libraj https://doi.org/10.1093/library/s1-4.1.175 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/library/s1-4.1.175 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- CAMPBELL F.
