Office op the State Board or Agriculture, Boston, Jane 1, 1899. At the annual meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, held in Boston, Jan. 10, 1899, the report of the librarian was read, and a complete catalogue of the library was presented. The Board voted to accept the report and the catalogue. The Board further voted " That the catalogue prepared by the librarian be printed separately, in such form as shall be decided by the secretary and the chairman of the executive committee, at an expense not to exceed $200, the same to be paid from the appropriation for incidentals or for dissemi- nation of useful information in agriculture." In accordance with the above action, the secretary of the Board and the chairman of the executive committee author- ize the publication of the catalogue in the form submitted by the librarian. The catalogue is intended to be historical and educational, as well as indicative of the size and make-up of the library. The author has endeavored to be original in his plan, and he realizes that there may be errors and imperfections in his work. Should such be discovered, he desires that they be made known to this office, that they may be avoided in a possible future edition of the catalogue. It is expected that the distribution will be largely to scien- tific libraries and to students and workers in the several branches of agricultural industry, who find it necessary to frequently consult material already published, and who, it is thought, will find this catalogue a help to them in their labors. WILLIAM R. SESSIONS, Secretary State Board of Agriculture. PREFACE. The State Board of Agriculture was established by an act of the Legislature of 1852, and was assigned rooms in the basement of the State House. Books of reference began to accumulate, and soon the nucleus of an office library was formed.* The first reference to such a library, in the volume known as the " Agriculture of Massachusetts," is in the sec- retary's report for 1857 ; the reference being as follows : ' ' The agricultural library connected with the office of the secretary of the Board has now become the largest and most valuable collection of the kind in New England, and is prob- ably the most extensive in the United States. A complete catalogue - )- is to be found in the Appendix, and is now pub- lished for the use of those who are active in creating similar agricultural libraries in, the various towns of the Common- wealth." The next reference is found in the secretary's report for 1860, and reads thus : " The State agricultural library, con- nected with my office, has received many valuable accessions during the past year, and is now one of the largest, if not one of the best selected, agricultural libraries in the United States. The collection of works on the honey-bee is believed to be the best and most extensive in the country." Secretary Flint again refers to the library in his report for 1864, in the following language : " It is more generally used * Report of the librarian, Agriculture of Massachusetts, 1897, pages 197-208; Ibid., 1898, pages 257-263. t This catalogue describes 844 volumes, 692 of which constituted the library proper, 125 the library of the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture, and 27 belonged to the Secretary of the Board, and were on deposit for public use under the same regulations as the office library. 6 CLASSIFICATION AND CATALOGUE for reference than ever before, especially during the sessions of the Legislature, and it is important that some permanent fund should be provided by which the new publications should be procured as they appear." Again, in 1865, the secretary says that " the library con- nected with the office of the secretary has gradually but con- stantly grown, till it has become the best, with very few, if any, exceptions, to be found in the country. It is of great service to the public, more especially during the sessions of the Legislature, when it is largely used for consultation and reference." Since that date the library has continued to grow in size and quality, until at the present time it contains 3,200 bound volumes, many of them rare and valuable, cover- ing a wide range of subject matter, and so classified and arranged on the library shelves as to be of the greatest service possible. Shelf label holders are used, the various divisions and .sections being indicated by Willson's gummed letters and figures. Additions are made from time to time by gift, by purchase, by exchange, and by binding pamphlets and similar publications. Certain daily newspapers, also papers and magazines pub- lished in the interest of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, etc., are received and are kept on file on the large table in the library room. The library is the recipient almost daily of publications from one or more institutions represented on the exchange list. In addition to the bound volumes referred to, there are quite a number of pamphlets on various subjects, many of which pamphlets are of considerable value. The oldest book is " The Booke of the English Husband- man," printed in London, and bearing the date of 1635. Some work has been done in the preparation of a card catalogue of subjects, there now being in use 1,080 such OF THE AGEICULTURAL LIBRARY. 7 cards. The subject index of the literature of agricultural experiment stations and kindred institutions, supplied by the United States Department of Agriculture, now com- prises 17,600 cards, covering the years 1887-97. These index cards are filed in cases, and are available for con- sultation. The library is primarily a reference library for the use of the agricultural department, but is used to quite an extent by others ; and the earnest hope is expressed that all who wish to consult it will feel perfectly free to do so. It is open for consultation daily, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The library is represented in the Massachusetts Library Club, the librarian being a member of said club. F. H. FOWLER.
