System of Arrangement The order in which these were found has been maintained as it was not originally clear whether the order of these, 1-38 was as per the original order whilst in the possession of Dorothy Una Ratcliffe. As cataloguing has progressed it appears less likely that this was the case but rather that it was imposed after its arrival at the University.
