This selection is due to the kindness of Mr. Alfred W. Pollard of the British Museum. Mr. Strong had planned a complete revision of Sir James Lacaita's Catalogue, into which he should incorporate the additions (to the number of about 1,200 vols.) he had himself made to the library. As this, one of the most cherished of his schemes, was not put into execution, the above list may serve to give a notion of his activity as librarian. SIMPLICIUS.
