Chapter I: Preface

Text size

Many years ago I compiled a comparatively short list of sequel stories for staff reference purposes, and the list was subsequently published in _The Library World_ (1900-1).

Several librarians who found the old list useful have asked me at various times to bring it up-to-date, and I have at last found leisure to accede to the request and to add a large number of stories not listed in the original list.

In order to serve useful purposes I have included

(_a_) Stories in which the same character appears in more
than one book;
(_b_) Series forming a continuous narrative of events;
(_c_) Trilogies and the like;
(_d_) A few other notes.

The material has been drawn from very many sources, some being of doubtful reliability, and in the absence of other data has had to be used without confirmation. It is probable that there are some errors of commission and, on account of the difficulty of obtaining information of sequence-stories, many more of omission. I should therefore be glad if corrections and notes of additions were sent to me direct.

To keep down the cost of printing, initials only are given of fore-names; dates of publication and names of publishers are omitted for the same season. The missing particulars are easily obtainable from the usual reference works.

Contrary to code rule, compound-names are entered under the latter part of the names. Writers using pen-names are entered under the pseudonyms with no cross reference from the real name to the pseudonym.

The whole of the profits arising from the sale of this reference list will be applied to the Benevolent and Orphan Fund of the Library Assistants’ Association.

ERRATA.

While this work was in the press, the name of the publishing Association was altered to that of the Association of Assistant Librarians.

Through a clerical error, E. Everett-Green’s _Cheveley stories_ are entered under _Anonymous stories_, as well as under the name of the author.
