Missing Items from the Catalogue of the Morrison Chinese Library (MS 58685)

This table lists the 81 books recorded in the nineteenth-century UCL Catalogue of the Morrison Chinese Library (MS 58685) that are unidentified or are missing from the SOAS collection, including some missing volumes from multi-volume works that are included in the Catalogue of the Morrison Collection of Chinese Books.

All these books were originally bound in a distinctive coloured leather binding, and may be identified by the UCL shelfmark that is written in pencil on the inside front cover of each volume. Excluding individual missing volumes, there are 76 titles in 185 volumes listed as missing, accounting for some 10% of the bound volumes of the Morrison Chinese Library. It is believed that many of these books had been transferred from the main SOAS library to the library of the Far East Department after the last war, and were disposed of when the departmental library was disbanded in 1972.

The fourth column of the table gives the catalogue number and description of the work as given in Morrison's Manuscript Catalogue (MS 80823).

The fifth column of the table gives the provisional identification of the SOAS callmark, based on the description for that callmark in the published SOAS library catalogue.
