Judge Robert Mackay's 1882 Catalogue of Books : A Preliminary Analysis
Abstract
Montreal-born Robert Mackay (1816-1888) was a Judge of the Quebec Superior Court from 1868 to 1882, served on the McGill Board of Governors from 1879 to 1887, and bequeathed his library to the University. The collection comprised two parts: "Legal" and "Miscellaneous." This article discusses the non-legal miscellaneous section, composed of 456 titles in 1,136 volumes, and analyses the collection under subject (10 categories), periodicals (13), county of publication (9), language (8) and period of publication (4). The subject classification is analysed by the authors and discussed in further detail. The authors also give a brief biography of Robert Mackay.
