Excerpt from Manual of Library Cataloguing Generally I find a library catalogue is assumed to be a thing that is somehow 'made' at a single stroke, as Aladdin's palace was built, at intervals of ten or a dozen years, or whenever a 'new catalogue is thought to be needed, instead of, as he proceeds to show, being a never' ending work calling for the exercise of all the power and knowledge at the command of the cataloguer.

Excerpt from Library Cataloguing Some years ago I prepared a Manual of Library Cataloguing, which met with more acceptance than was expected, and has been out of print for some time. Upon considering requests for a new edition, I concluded that a book upon somewhat different lines would be more likely to meet the present requirements of librarians and library assistants - this volume is the result. No pretence is made that the work is exhaustive or complete, but it is hoped that it will serve as a practical and useful introduction to the several codes of cataloguing rules. The statements made in it are not meant to be dogmatic, but they indicate the lines upon which good and accurate work is to be accomplished. As the illustrative examples were chosen from every-day books, and are worked out as simply as possible, they should be found useful by beginners; especially in preparing for the examinations of the Library Association in this subject. I am indebted to my friend Mr. Frank Pacy, City Librarian of Westminster, for reading my proofs and suggesting many improvements, although I am sure he would not care to accept responsibility for all the views expressed or the mode of expressing them.

Excerpt from Manual of Library Classification and Shelf Arrangement This work has been prepared to meet the requirements of those who are engaged or interested in the study of practical library methods. No English book on this subject has been issued since Edwards dealt with classifications generally in his Memoirs of Libraries, published in 1859; and the literature of the subject consists of little more than papers on single schemes. Classification has never been a strong point in British libraries, and this has arisen partly from apathy on the part of librarians, but also from the difficulty of obtaining information about American and foreign schemes which have been successfully applied to libraries. Leaving out of view Petzholdt's list of classifications contained in his Bibliotheca Bibliographica (1866), I have been unable to find that any single work devoted entirely to a systematic examination of schemes has ever been issued in any country. This little book has been prepared, accordingly, to fill a well-defined space in library literature; and however inadequate or slight the attempt may be, it is earnestly hoped that it will in some measure help to stimulate interest in the subject of classification.
