Excerpt from Classified Catalogue of the Library of the Royal Geographical Society, to December, 1870 The present Catalogue has been made upon a plan which, it is hoped, will greatly increase the usefulness of the Library of the Royal Geographical Society. In it will be found, alphabetically arranged, entries under every division of the globe, country, or place treated of in the works which form the collection; such entries being chronologically sub-arranged, to aid the Geographer in comparing accounts of, or in tracing the history of, the particular locality which is the subject of his enquiry. The Orthography generally has been determined by a collation of the best existing modern Gazetteers. For the spelling of African names, the works of Barth, Beke, Burton, Cooley, Livingstone, Rohlfs, and others, have been consulted; while for Indian names, the Gazetteers of Thornton must be held responsible. Though no effort has been spared to detect and to rectify errors in the original Alphabetical Catalogue, upon which the present one is based, it is evidently possible that some of the less apparent of those inaccuracies may be reproduced here, as the certain avoidance of them would have involved nothing less than the bodily inspection of every book in the Library, a labour which the compiler was not called upon to undertake. For the correctness of the Supplement to that Catalogue, however, which is his own handiwork, and for the corresponding entries which this book contains, he alone is answerable.
