Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Norfolk and Norwich Literary Institution: Systematically Arranged With an Alphabetical Index The Norfolk and Norwich Literary Institution was estab lished in the year 1822, for the purpose of combining publications of the highest character, both English and Foreign, in every department, with a liberal supply of the Most interesting and popular literature of the day, and a general collection of standard works thus whilst securing an ample provision of general amusement and informa tion, its Library of Reference would present valuable and increasing facilities for the cultivation of literary and scientific pursuits.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Norfolk and Norwich Literary Institution: Alphabetically Arranged, With an Index of Subjects After much consideration, it has been determined to depart from the former Classified arrangement and to adopt an Alphabetical one, in which every book is entered under the Author's name where it is known, and, where it is not known, under the most expressive word of the title.
