This alphabetical catalogue documents John Willis Clark's collection of over ten thousand Cambridge-related books, pamphlets and pieces of print.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Books and Papers for the Most Part Relating to the University, Town, and County of Cambridge: Bequeathed to the University by John Willis Clark, M.A., Registrary of the University and Formerly Fellow of Trinity College As has already been stated, the collection includes a certain number of books which have no very close connection with Cambridge; but in spite of this it has been treated as a Cambridge Collection, and the headings 'cambridge' and University of Cambridge have been reduced to a minimum. (see the notes under those headings in the Catalogue.) In the University Library the Clark Collection has been incorporated with a smaller collection of similar books already preserved there and the whole has been arranged in chrono logical order as a special class to which Cambridge literature of every description can in future be added as it appears, and in which gaps can be filled as occasion offers. The Clark books are distinguished by a book - plate and a special stamp. The present Catalogue, which includes only those books which came to the University under Mr Clark's will, is published as a contribution towards that complete bibliography of Cambridge which has yet to be written, and as a memorial of one who was unwearying in his efforts to advance the interests of the University Library.
