- Catalogue of a private collection of books on British economic thought and political radicalism, collected by Leon Kashnor (1880-1945) of the Museum Book Store, London, and purchased by the National Library of Australia in 1952. The Kashnor Collection contains about 4000 books, 6000 pamphlets and sets of 40 periodicals published between about 1620 and 1940. It includes a small number of seventeenth-century imprints, but the bulk of the works were published between 1700 and 1870. The great majority of the works were written and published in Britain, but there is a significant group of French pamphlets and broadsides and a small number of German titles. Many of the works were acquired by Kashnor from the Grenville, Townshend and Holland families. A number belonged to William Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville, Prime Minister of Britain 1806-07. Other former owners included Thomas Carlyle, Lord Holland, Sir Edward Knatchbull, Lord Ripon and Lord Wolverton.
- Because volume 1 and volume 2 of this list were reproduced from different sources there is an overlap in the pagination which runs from page 1 to 345 in vol. 1, and from page 164 to 366 in vol. 2.
- Volume 2 includes an additional 5 pages (6 leaves) listing 138 French labour broadsides and pamphlets.
- National Library of Australia's N copy of volume 2 includes additional 4 unnumbered leaves bound between page 365 and title leaf of French labour pamphlets, listing items Ec 7858 to Ec 7915p.
- National Library of Australia also holds a marked-up copy at the start of the RB Ec run.
