Excerpt from A List of Books and Articles: Chiefly Bibliographical Designed to Serve as an Introduction to the Bibliography and Methods of English Literary History (With an Index) In order to avoid confusing the beginner by a multitude of references, the compiler has included only a few of the most useful or comprehensive sources. Although the choice has generally been restricted to books and articles which are strictly bibliographical or contain bibliographical features and which deal with English literature, a number of works not usually included in bibliographies of English literature have been intro duced because they furnish information on subjects which are allied to English and which sometimes demand the attention of the literary in vestigator at a time when he has little bibliographical information outside his special territory. It should be added, however, that the lists of special bibliographies 'hnd treatises given in sections XI, XIII, and XIV are not intended to dispense with the consultation of the general repertories enumerated in sections III - VI a'nd IX. For the sake of convenience the literature of America has been classified separately. The list is followed by an index of the most important entries.
