Author-catalogue of printed books in European languages. With a supplementary list of newspapers. 1904. 2 v

Published in 1904, this two-volume author-catalogue represents a foundational effort by the Imperial Library in Calcutta to organize its extensive holdings following the institution's formal establishment under the Imperial Library Act of 1902. The catalogue was commissioned as part of Lord Curzon's initiative to create a national library for India, aiming to consolidate the collections of the Calcutta Public Library and the government's own departmental archives into a centralized, accessible resource.

The design of the catalogue reflects the standard bibliographical practices of the early twentieth century, focusing on scholarly accessibility and systematic classification for researchers navigating European-language texts. It serves as a historical snapshot of the intellectual landscape and colonial-era collection priorities in British India, meticulously documenting the range of literature and serial publications available at the time to the library's specialized readership.
