Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Library of the Insurance Library Association of Boston: To Which Is Added a Sketch of the History and Work of the Association, Together With Other Information This Catalogue represents an effort, more or less crude, to place before the members of the Association a classified list of the books and pamphlets, journals and magazines, that have been gathered into our library since its opening ten years ago. It is not the work of a professional cataloguer, but of a business man, who has been able to give to it only his leisure time and such odd moments as he could spare in the intervals of daily duty. Its publication was planned for the early summer of this year; but just as the first pages went to press the compiler was called upon to remove to New York, and as a result all subsequent work had to be done at long range and by correspondence. Produced under such conditions the book cannot fail of many imperfections; nevertheless, its compiler trusts that it may be of some assistance to those seeking information at our rooms. If it shall save any of his fellows labor, or open up to them new avenues of instruction and entertainment, he will feel amply rewarded for the time and work devoted to its production.
