Excerpt from A Handy Bibliographical Guide to the Study of the Spanish Language and Literature: With Consideration of the Works of Spanish-American Writers, for the Use of Students and Teachers of Spanish This little pamphlet has been developed entirely through practical necessities, and it is intended only to serve practical ends. Its chief aim has not been bibliographical completeness, but to offer to the American teacher and student a selection of such works and periodicals as will be really necessary and useful in the study of Spanish. It is hoped that not many books of real importance for the ordinary student have been overlooked and that in every case the best books of reference have been mentioned. Librarians of colleges and of public libraries, wishing to provide the most necessary books for the study of Spanish, may be also materially helped in their selection by referring to this Guide. As each teacher or student should make it his duty to have a library of his own, the attempt has been made to indicate briefly the character of the books listed, and the greatest care has been taken to mention reliable cheap editions. Whoever makes a selection of books is liable to be criticised for admitting certain books and omitting others; but I shall receive thankfully any suggestion or criticism that may be made for the improvement of this little book, by those who are using it. I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Fred. W. Boettler for his critical reading of the manuscript and for his careful reading of the proof.

This is Volume I of a monumental two-volume work, a historical record and guide to bibliographic efforts on all the languages of the world, which is designed to serve the professional as well as non-professional reader as a first point of entry for information about any language. By consulting the Bibliography, the reader will quickly be able to identify specific bibliographic sources for particular topics of interest, and thus rapidly begin to narrow the search for information. Although bibliographies of bibliographies have appeared for a few language families, this set provides for the first time a comprehensive compilation of bibliographies for all of the languages or language families of the world, from the earliest period through 1985. Volume I, with nearly 2500 entries in 400 pages, covers the Indo-European languages of Europe, plus Etruscan and Basque, as well as general and multi-language references, including sections on dictionaries, dissertations, and specialized topics. Volume II, with approximately the same number of entries, will cover all other languages. In the Bibliography, most entries are annotated to indicate the number of items in each bibliography and how they are arranged; some information on the scope and coverage of the work (where not obvious from the title); whether items are annotated; and what indexes are included. The Bibliography will long stand as an indispensable reference tool, and should be in every library serving readers interested in any aspect of language.
