(British Library) INDEX TO THE ADDITIONAL MANUSCRIPTS, WITH THOSE OF THE EGERTON COLLECTION, PRESERVED IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM AND ACQUIRED IN THE YEARS 1783-1836.
London Printed by Order of the Trustees [of the Museum] 1849 large 4to. all but disbound. (iv), 514 pages.
Between the publication of the 1782 Ayscough catalogue and the inception of the Index to the Additions in 1836, the British Museum acquired about 5,000 manuscripts or manuscript sets. The Index to the Additions was not retroactive, and manuscript acquisitions from 1783 through 1835 had, therefore, no coverage in any printed catalogue until this gap was closed in 1849 by this "Index." The first 2,000 or so of the approximately 5,000 entries (numbered 5018 to 10,018) were taken from manuscript catalogues at the Museum, and most of the remaining 3,000 (post-1828) were extracted from the annual printed lists of donations and bequests, or from those of additions, with a few additional items. This resulted in a certain lack of uniformity in description, but the Museum felt that the problem was not serious enough to justify postponement (for editing) of this much-needed publication. Nineteenth century library markings. Pages 509-514 provided in photocopy facsimile. Front and rear boards detached, spine lacking. Boards heavily worn at edges and corners. First several pages detached. Some chipping to edges of title page. Soiled.

(Burns, Robert) M'Kie, James THE BURNS CALENDAR.
Kilmarnock (Scotland) James M'Kie 1874 small 4to. modern cloth, leather spine label. (81) pages.
Limited to 600 numbered copies, signed by J. M'Kie. Besterman 1066; not listed separately in Egerer but see note, no.744. Poems of Robert Burns (1759-1796) were first published in Kilmarnock in 1786. From 1867 through 1886, the Kilmarnock printer and publisher J. M'Kie brought out a facsimile of the 1786 Kilmarnock edition, other volumes of Burns' poetry, and some other materials, including this "Burns Calendar." After a preface discussing Burns' friends and acquaintances, the calendar lists by date items of relevance to Burns, e.g. for January 1: "Prologue by Burns for the Dumfries Theatre, spoken by Mr Sutherland, 1790," or, for Dec. 4: "Alexander Findlater, collector of Excise, trusty friend of the Poet's, died 1839, aged 85," etc. Facing each calendar page is a thematic selection of excerpts, usually from Burns, for ex., the April selections entitled "The Burns Portrait Gallery-Edinburgh Patrons (e.g. William Creech, Publisher..."O Willie was a witty wight / and had o'things an unco slight..."). The bibliographical section following contains diverse items: a list of biographies of Burns, a tabular list of "all known editions" of Burns, notes on the Kilmarnock Burns and the facsimiles, and a list of "Publications of the Burns Centenary Celebration"--approx. 1,000 entries. A kind of miscellany entitled "Relics of Burns" and an addendum follow. The name of a now-defunct library is stamped on several pages, and there are occasional pencil markings. Fore-edges of several pages are moderately chipped.

Humphrey Chetham (1580-1653), a successful Manchester businessman and public figure, left a sum for founding of a library, afterwards named the Chetham Library.

See British Museum Cat., Compact Ed., 16-701. Included is the first supplement of 1826, also in Latin. This is in two parts, with two title pages and separate paginations. The first part, by the clergyman and bibliographer William Parr Greswell (1765-1845), contains entries 6,724 through 8,029 for additions to the library. This is followed by indexes for the supplement and both 1791 volumes. A slip entitled "donations to Chetham Library" and dated 1846 is bound in after p.88.
