DescriptionThanks Baily for his catalogue and paper, which he has read with great interest and pleasure. Admires Baily's steady perseverence. Mentions a meeting of the catalogue committee. Says the arrangement he likes appears to have been drawn up with great care and intelligence. Mentions different ways of organising a classification system and their advantages. Wants the Royal Society library catalogue to be as complete as possible. Adds observations on specific items. Was glad to see a collection of tables in the library.
