A. Marks, President W. A. Harshaw, Vice-President Carl Lorenz, Secretary Charles Gentsch C. £. Kennedy O. M. Stafford J. G. Vl^hite William H. Brett, Librarian Preface The publication of a list of books by Catholic authors was decided on by the Library Board about four years ago. The librarian assigned the work of compiling and editing this list to a member of the Library Staff, Miss Emilie I,. Haley. Miss Haley's work occupied a large part of two years, given largely to research, reading and the compiling and preparation of critical notes. The delay since that time as explained in her editorial note is due largely to difficulty in arraflging satisfactorily for its publi- cation. Grateful appreciation is due for the interest which has been shown and the approval which has been given by competent critics. For these, acknowledgment is made in the note by the editor. In issuing this list the Library Board hopes it may serve to render the Library more useful, not only to our Catholic fellow citizens, but to the many others who are interested in that great Catholic literature, so much of which is the common heritage of the whole Christian world. Criticisms and suggestions are invited and will be recorded for consideration in case a second edition is needed. For the Public Library Board. Wm. H. Brett, Librarian. Editorial Note We have here catalogued the books in English by Catholic authors in the Cleveland Public Library. Personally, we are inclined to agree with those who advocate the compilation of a list of books for Catholics — an ideal list of standard books for Catholic readers including many non- Catholic authors. May the future produce this work ! Those whom this catalogue is designed to serve and who have called for its publication are aware that the arduous work entailed was finished two years ago, and publication delayed pending futile negotiations for the issuing of a much larger edition. The compilation as originally planned and then completed is now presented with recent additions. While not hesitating to make use of pre- viously compiled lists, we have taken some pains to verify individually the Catholic faith of every author herein listed. We appreciate the courtesy of the learned members of the Cleveland clergy to whom the proof of this list was subjected for suggestions and approvd. We value most highly the kind expression of approbation contained in the letter of the cultured Bishop of Cleveland, the Right Rev- erend John P. Farrelly, D.D. Emilie I<. Haley.
