LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS,
Washington, D. C., October 24, 1902.

Sir: Some three years ago, while students at the library
school in the University of Illinois, Mr. A. J. Strohm (now
librarian of the Trenton Public Library) and myself became
interested in the literature of international bibliography,
cooperative cataloguing, and the printing of catalogue cards,
and eventually decided to compile an annotated bibliography
of the subject from the year 1850 to the end of 1899. In
June, 1900, the list, which then contained 289 entries, was
presented to the University in partial fulfilment of the re-
quirements for the degree of B. L. S.

Since that time the interest in cooperative cataloguing has
been growing rapidly. In the old world this interest has
been mainly centered in the cooperative plans and enter-
prises of the Royal Society of London, the Institut interna-
tional de bibliographie at Brussels, and the Concilium
bibliographicum at Zurich. In the United States the most
notable cooperative venture has been the distribution of
printed cards by the Library of Congress. In view of this
fact and the probable relation of the Library of Congress
to other cooperative work in the future, it has been thought
that the publication of this list, revised and brought up to
date by Mr. Theodore W. Koch and myself, might aid in
giving those interested in the movement a general view of
its development and so help in the future discussion of ques-
tions sure to arise. We, therefore, offer it for the purpose.

Respectfully submitted: TORSTEIN JAHR,

Assistant in Catalogue Division,

HERBERT PUTNAM,

Librarian of Congress.

PREFACE.

The present list aims to present a chronological conspectus
of the growth of the literature about plans and enterprises
in cooperative cataloguing and international bibliography.
The printing of catalogue cards being one avenue toward
the attainment of these desired ends, some of the literature
dealing more specifically with this phase of the problem
has been included here. Thus the subjects, international
bibliography, cooperative cataloguing, and the printing of
catalogue cards, are seen to have a closer connection than
a first glance at the title of our bibliography would suggest.
The chronological arrangement of the data has been chosen
in order to show the progress of the movement toward
cooperation and to give historical sequence to the discus-
sion of the subject. It will be noticed that during the last
decade the need of fuller catalogues and more systematic
bibliographies in the various fields of literature has been a
subject for discussion at numierous conferences of librarians
and international congresses of scientists. It is generally
conceded that these ends are only to be attained through
cooperation and centralization. Of late the main proposi-
tions have been the production of a universal or international

 

@A few catalogues and bibliographies have been included for the
sake of making complete the chain of discussion, while they are gen-
erally omitted because, though in themselves the result of coopera-
tion, they do not constitute literature about the subject. Most of
those that have been included find a place here as the fruition of plans
discussed in other entries. Likewise, union lists of both books and
periodicals have, asa rule, been omitted. Those who are interested
in the latter are referred to A.G.S. Josephson, ‘‘A bibliography of
union lists of periodicals (1864-1899),”’ originally published in the
Papers and proceedings of the twenty-first annual meeting of the
American Library Association and reprinted with some additions
(bringing the total number of entries up to 25) in July, 1899.

bibliography of scientific literature, cooperative cataloguing
of more or less special subjects, the establishment of bibli-
ographical institutes, and the distribution of printed cards
from a central bureau.

The subject in question dates further back than 1850.%
During the French Revolution a movement was on foot for
the establishment of a union catalogue for all the libraries
in France, but failed, as did so many of the other plans of
that epoch.? During the first half of the nineteenth century
there were some scattering expressions, especially in France
and Germany, of a growing demand for something in the
nature of cooperative work looking toward the compilation
of national and universal bibliographies, but they had no
practical results.

The year 1850 has not been arbitrarily chosen. It may
be said to form the actual starting point. In that year
a discussion was occasioned by the appearance of the
memorable ‘‘Report of the Commissioners appointed to
inquire into the constitution and government of the British
Museum.’’

‘The Atheneum journal, the most prominent organ of
the assailants of the Museum,’’ said a writer in the Aazn-
burgh review,’ ‘‘in concluding its remarks upon the report
of the commissioners, astonished its readers by proposing a
universal catalogue, to contain all the books that ever were
printed. The plan was that our government should cata-
logue all British works, and every other its own. Sucha
catalogue would serve for every library; nothing would be
necessary, in any one such institution, except to indicate
the presence of each work in the library by affixing to each
its press mark, or designation of its place on the shelves.
Separate stereotype blocks for each title are proposed to be

 

@Gabriel Naudé, in his ‘‘Advis pour dresser une bibliothéque,’”’
Paris, 1627 (reprinted 1644 and 1876, and English by J. Evelyn,
London, 1661), recommended that the libraries get together the
largest possible collection of catalogues and in this way procure a
central catalogue by means of which scholars might know where to
find the books of which they stood in need.

presented by each government to the rest,,out of which any
variety of plans of cataloguing might be made feasible.’’@

This plan of separate stereotype blocks had been brought
before the commissioners by Mr. W. D. Cooley, but the
same idea had already occurred to Prof. C. C. Jewett, who as
early as in the fall of 1847 appears to have communicated it
to Mr. Henry Stevens and urged him to introduce the plan
to the authorities of the British Museum.? Professor Jewett
did not, however, bring it before the public until 1850, when
he made it the subject of a communication to the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, at its meeting
at New Haven, Conn., August, 1850,° which constitutes
another reason for considering this date as a turning point.

The next movement of note is that of the Society of Arts,
London, which at its second ordinary meeting, December 1,
1852, at the instance of Sir Henry Cole, considered the project
of producing a universal catalogue and, asa first step toward
it, of preparing a catalogue of all books printed in the United
Kingdom before 1600. No measures were adopted, and the
matter was dropped; but in 1876 the Society once more took
the idea into consideration, and it became the subject of
much discussion during 1878-79, which, although devoid
of practical results, yet served a useful purpose in calling
renewed attention to urgent problems in bibliography.

In 1876 the American Library Association was formed,
and since that time the cooperative cataloguing movement
has progressed with rapid strides. The great drawback in
all bibliographical work is that by the time, or even before,
a work is published and in circulation it has fallen into
arrear. ‘To remedy this disadvantage the card catalogue
has been introduced in a majority of libraries for their indi-
vidual use, and the system of printing the separate titles on
slips or cards has been found serviceable also in preparing
bibliographies.“ The American Library Association Cooper-

ative committee on cataloguing, established in 1876, issued
during 1879-80 the ‘‘ Title slip registry’’ for every new book
published in the United States. The difficulty of enlisting
sufficient library support to give the necessary financial basis
to the work was responsible for the failure of this venture, in
February, 1880.

In 1882 appeared the new edition of Poole’s ‘‘Index to
periodical literature,’’ brought down to date with the assist-
ance of W. I. Fletcher and the cooperation of members of the
American Library Association and the Library Association of
the United Kingdom. In the annals of successful American |
enterprises in cooperative cataloguing, this and the later
volumes, appearing once in five years, occupy a prominent
place. This work was supplemented for some time by the
“Cooperative index to periodicals,’’ originally issued as a
supplement to the Lzbrary journal, later becoming a semi-
independent quarterly, and eventually, in 1892, developing
into the ‘‘Annual literary index.’’ <A part of the material
in the latter is also included in the ‘‘A. L. A. Index to gen-
eral literature,’’ compiled by W. I. Fletcher in collaboration
with other librarians (first published in 1893), and intended
to make it possible to dispense with analyticals in library
catalogues, and to save the labor of preparing them over and
over again in different libraries.

By cooperation between the Publishing section of the
American Library Association and the Pudlishers weekly
a series of catalogue cards was issued in 1887, but not on a
sufficiently large scale and with sufficient promptness to
give a fair commercial test of the support for such a scheme.¢

With the year 1893 two rival plans for central cataloguing
were submitted to the library world, viz, the plans of the
Rudolph Indexing Company and of the Library Bureau.
The Rudolph indexing device resulted in more discussion
than practical following, while the Library Bureau con-
tinued to issue ‘printed catalogue cards for all current
standard books’’ until June, 1896, when the work was
transferred to the American Library Association Publishing
section, in whose charge it remained until October, 1901.
In that month the Library of Congress began to issue printed
cards not only for new books and current accessions, but

also offered to sell at cost copies of other cards which were
being printed for books in the sections of the Library under-
going.the process of recataloguing. ‘the methods and reg-
ulations governing the distribution at the end of the first ten
months’ experience are codified in the Handbook of card
distribution.

The Publishing section of the American Library Associa-
tion (since 1900 known as the Publishing board), in addition
to its library tracts, annotated lists, etc., continues issuing
(1) catalogue cards for current periodical publications, (2)
cards for various sets of periodicals and for books of com-
posite authorship, and (3) cards for current books on English
history, with annotations by Mr. W. Dawson Johnston. It
has also begun the issuing of catalogue cards for bibliograph-
ical serials, the work of analyzing being done by members
of the Bibliographical Society of Chicago.

An important feature of the American Library Associa-
tion exhibit at the World’s Fair of 1893 was a model
library, which was the basis of the ‘‘A. L. A.’’ Catalog
issued in part during the summer of 1893, but not completed
until the following year. This was the fruition of a plan
which originated in the early years of the Association’s
existence, and is an illustration of the beneficial effect of
cooperation. Its publication by the Bureau of Education
insured its wide distribution free of charge, and the fact that
nearly 100,000 copies of it have been called for gives a clue
to its usefulness. It has served as the catalogue of many
small libraries, first as a basis for selection of books, then as
a finding list of the volumes after having been acquired and
classified, and, lastly, cut up and pasted on cards, it has
served as the nucleus of many card catalogues. A new
edition, revised and extended, is in preparation, and it is
hoped that it will be ready in time to serve as a catalogue
for another model library at the St. Louis Fair in 1904.

In March, 1894, the Royal Society of London, having issued
the larger part of its great ‘‘Catalogue of scientific papers,’ @
printed partly at the expense of the English government, and
consisting of an author index of all the important memoirs
in the chief English and foreign scientific serials (1800-
1883), took up the idea of maintaining through international
cooperation a complete catalogue of current scientific liter-

ature. On the initiative of the Royal Society, international
conferences were held at London in 1896, 1898, and 1900,
the one for 1898 being important on account of the report
presented by the Committee on classification. This scheme
of the Committee, published in 1899, caused a great deal of
discussion and criticism in the scientific and literary world.
After considerable modification of the original proposals,
and some delay, the enterprise is now fairly started, two
volumes, Botany and Chemistry, having appeared in May‘
and June of the present year.

In September, 1895, an international bibliographical con-
ference was held at Brussels, and the Institut international
de bibliographie was established. Its ambition is to pre-
pare a ‘‘Répertoire bibliographique universel,’’ a complete
universal catalogue of the literature of all nations, printed
on cards, which are to be sold by subscription. According
to its latest list of publications (‘‘ Annuaire,’’ 1902), the
Institut has issued 59 ‘‘ Publications’’ and 37 ‘‘ Contribu-
tions [imprimées au Répertoire bibliographique universel].’’
The former comprise memoirs concerning the organization,
aims, methods, and history of the Institut and expanded
tables of the Decimal classification adapted to special sub-
jects. The manuals, besides outlining the scheme of classi-
fication, give also the general bibliographical rules of the
Institut.

At the third International zoological congress, held at
Leyden, 1895, it was decided to found an international bib-
liographical bureau for the registration of all new publica-
tions in the field of zoology, to be called the Concilium
bibliographicum opibus complurium nationum Turici insti-
tutum. Dr. H. H. Field, an American, who had advocated
the scheme for several years, was appointed director. The
Swiss society of naturalists, which has throughout sup-
ported the undertaking, has induced the Swiss government
to increase the original subsidy fivefold. It has also the
financial support of the Stazione zoologica of Naples, of the
Société zoologique of France, of the Elizabeth Thompson
fund, of the American Association for the Advancément of
Science, of the American Micrdscopical Society, of other

scientific bodies, and of numerous private donors. ‘The
future permanence of the enterprise is consequently assured.
The Concilium is affiliated with the Institut international
de bibliographie, and its work is conducted in conformity
with the methods adopted by the latter. The Concilium
has assumed the task of publishing a current bibliography
of zoology, general biology, paleontology, microscopy, physi-
ology and anatomy, and proposes the publication of bibliog-
raphies in several other fields of science.

At the recent Magnolia meeting of the American Library
Association, June, 1902, announcement was made of the
generous endowment by Mr. Carnegie of the work of the
Publishing board of that body, the income to be used ‘* for
the preparation and publication of reading lists, indexes,
and other bibliographical and literary aids.’’ This assures
the successful outcome of a number of cooperative under-
takings long since planned by the American Library
Association.

It has not been the intention in these prefatory remarks
to chronicle the history of the movement toward coopera-
tion or to offer any criticisms upon the different schemes
that have been proposed. We have desired merely to point
to the most important plans and lines of development.
A detailed account of the principal events in this movement
is to be found in Milkau, ‘‘Centralkataloge und titeldrucke,”’
Leipzig, 1898, whose numerous bibliographical references,
together with those in Graesel, ‘‘Handbuch der biblio-
thekslehre,’’ Leipzig, 1902, were of the greatest help in
compiling the present list. In making the brief summaries
under the different entries we have frequently drawn upon
the language of the articles in question.

Not all the items listed in the bibliography will be found
under the date of their first appearance in print. In some
cases we have not had access to these articles in their earliest
form, and consequently have had to enter the reprints or
summaries which we found at hand. As an exact chronicle
of the discussion of the subject, especially in the more recent
years, the list is therefore in its arrangement only approxi-
mately accurate. It is hoped that this will not affect the
utility of the bibliography, and that its shortcomings may

be rectified at some future time, if as present indications are,
the lively interest in the subject continues to grow, and a
new edition should be called for.

Thanks are due Mr. Theodore W. Koch for his interest in
the revision of the manuscript, in the addition of new titles
and notes, and in the reading of the proofs. We desire also
to acknowledge Mr. A. G. S. Josephson’s kindness in making
helpful suggestions, and in assisting in the revision of the
proofs.

The last of a series of five articles reviewing the report of the
Royal commission on the British museum, the earlier ones of which
did not touch on the subject in hand. The reviewer speaks of the
need of a catalogue which will show not only what the library has,
but will also indicate what is wanting and where the lacking mate-
rial may be found. Suggests that Panizzi proceed with his cata-
logue and be given assistants who shall prepare on the same uniform
system the titles of all works published in the English language or
printed in Great Britain and its colonies, but not at present in the
British museum. Meanwhile communications should be opened
with the principal governments of the world and a proposal made
to each of them to cooperate with the British nation in publishing
a universal catalogue.

W. D. Cooley’s suggestions relating to separate stereotyped
titles are especially recommended, and mention is made of the
different uses to which his plan might be adapted. ‘‘ Perhaps the
best plan would be,”’ says the reviewer, ‘‘if means can be devised
to avoid the fruitless reduplication of titles, that each government

“A communication from Professor Henry, of Washington,
having been read, containing a proposal for the publication of a
catalogue of philosophical memoirs scattered throughout the trans-
actions of societies in Europe and America, with the offer of cooper-
ation on the part of the Smithsonian institution, to the extent of
preparing and publishing in accordance with the general plan which
might be adopted by the British association, a catalogue of all the
American memoirs on physical science, the committee approve of
the suggestion and recommend that Mr. Cayley, Mr. Grant, and
Professor Stokes, be appointed a committee to consider the best
system of arrangement and to report thereon to the council.’’-—/oc.

The report of the committee was printed in the report of the
twenty-sixth meeting of the British association for the advance-
ment of science, London, 1857, p. 463-464. The committee
expressed their sense of the great importance and increasing need
of such a catalogue, and were of the opinion that it ‘‘should embrace
the mathematical and physical sciences, but should exclude natural
history and physiology, geology, mineralogy, and chemistry, which
would properly form the subject-matter of a distinct catalogue or
catalogues.’’ In March, 1857, General Sabine, at that time treas-
urer and vice-president of the Royal society, brought the matter to
the attention of the latter body, with a view to securing its
cooperation. A committee was accordingly appointed to take into
further consideration the formation of such a catalogue. In June,
1857, the Royal society’s committee presented a preliminary report,
in which they agreed substantially with the recommendations of
the cominittee of the British association. The latter body took no
further steps in the mattér, but the Royal society decided to under-
take independently the preparation of a catalogue of scientific
memoirs on a somewhat broader plan than that originally proposed.

numbered consecutively. Another series covering the period
1884-1900 is in preparation. A subject index will be added in this
series. Printed at public expense. Compiled under the supervi-
sion of Henry White and others.

The preface, v.1, p. [iii]-vi, contains an historical account of
the undertaking, and the introduction, v. 1, p. [vii]-xi, treats of
the subject matter and general arrangement of the catalogue, the
period included in its scope, and the style of entry adopted.

The catalogue may be regarded as the outgrowth of the move-
ment which originated in Professor Henry’s communication to the
British association for the advancement of science. (See eutry

‘‘Whatever may be the language of the books,’’ said the writer,
“the titles would be given exactly as they are printed. Each
country would publish a given quantity of the titles at fixed periods,
which should be printed in the same type, measure, and sized page
as the specimens, and like them, on one side of the leaf only... It
might be convenient if each country used a different colored paper

then be cut and arranged with those of other countries, alphabet-

cooperation in cataloguing. Every English book might be cata-

nationale, etc.; printed slips might be sent to every library, and
each of them have three or four kinds of catalogues, alphabetical,
chronological, local, and subject. Even when the library is too
poor to buy a book, the slip might be useful in its catalogue.

Proposes a national library system, with the object of facili-

under the control of the government and with the Library of Con-
gress as a central library bureau or a medium of communication for
all libraries. ‘‘Cooperation in all things’’ was to be the motto in
purchasing of books, supplies, and library apparatus, in establishing
central binderies, in the making of reports and statistics, and the
chief product of cooperation was to be a universal catalogue, wherein
a given book would be designated by «a number common to all
libraries, whereby the numbers of books would become synonymous
with their names all over the land.
The plan is considered well nigh chimerical by the Library
Journal (1: 364) and the more pressing need of a standard reference
catalogue is urged. (36

is urged to take charge of the undertaking. A committee of experts
should make selections of books and prepare the notes. It would
receive offers of notes from librarians and others interested in the
work. Only small editions of the manual should be printed, where-
by it could be kept closely up to date, thus serving as catalogue and

of the Society of arts the circular of queries and an account of the
plan, with specimens of the proposed catalogue. It was proposed
that the titles of books should be arranged chronologically, at the
beginning of printing into long periods, and afterwards into decades,
or even years. Each country was to compile and publish accurate
transcriptions of the titles of all the books produced in it. Such
a collection of titles (printed on one side of the leaf) would serve
asa basis for every kind of a classed catalogue. (49

supervisory labor will be given free, but the publishers will be
asked to pay the necessary expenses. For the present the cost of

repaid by the benefits of the advertising. In issuing such slips it
is suggested that a stiff manila paper be used, to obviate pasting,

logue will meet with a favorable reception and be granted govern-
ment support, and that should it be decided to print the British
museum catalogue some plan will be formed by which the proofs
may not only be revised by well-qualified bibliographers, but that

‘ the various departments of literature, science, and art will be en-
trusted to a capable staff of revisers. (60

So great a work when undertaken should be complete, so as

not to necessitate doing the same work over again. It would make
_it quite easy for each library to form its own catalogue in a much
abbreviated form. ‘Titles of old books could form a special cata-
lague of 50 volumes. A large catalogue committee should be
formed, to which copies of catalogues of all the greater libraries
might be sent. The final work should be supplemented by appen-
dices at intervals of five or ten years. (61

July Committee on publishers’ title-slips. (/z Library journal,

4: 291)

Summary of R. R. Bowker’s report for the A. L.A. committee
on publishers’ title slips, made at the Boston meeting of the A. L. A.

Realizing the impracticability of printing the titles of books on
separate cards, the system of title-slip registry was devised to meet
the difficulty. The first cost of making the title entries and setting
the type is borne by the Publishers’ weekly, after which the proofs
are sent to Messrs. Cutter and Dewey at Boston, who offer to do
their share of the work gratuitously. The future success of the
work rests upon the efforts of the librarians to put the enterprise
on a paying business basis.

explanation of that periodical’s bibliographical record ‘of every

or about North American entomology since 1873.”’

In addition to this regular publication by the Cambridge ento-
mological club, attention was called to the bibliography of John L.
Le Conte's writings, printed upon catalogue cards in accordance
with A. L. A. rules, being the first publication of its kind. (63

& co., 1882. xxvii, 1442p. 4°.

Planned by Dr. Poole while a student at Yale and first issued
in 1848. A second edition appeared in 1853.

At the first meeting of the A. L. A., Philadelphia, Oct. 1876, a
new edition was called for. Dr. Poole then proposed a cooperative
plan by which the result might be reached. At the first Inter-
national conference of librarians, London, Oct. 1877, the scheme
was explained and an invitation extended to the L. A. U. K. to
unite with the A. L. A. in carrying it out. Both associations gave
the project their support, but had no responsibility or control in the
management. All the indexing was done gratuitously by fifty
different libraries in the United States and Great Britain.

It has been continued in five-yearly supplements by Dr. Poole’s
associate, W. I. Fletcher, with the cooperation of the members of
the A. L. A., andis now supplemented by annual lists which since 1892
have formed part of the Annual literary index. An abridged ed.,
covering the contents of thirty-seven periodicals, 1815-99, by W. I.
Fletcher and Mary Poole, was published in 1901 by Houghton,

Cooperative cataloguing is here regarded as the solution of the

bear a more reasonable proportion to the cost of the books cata-
logued. Advocates the annotation of the proposed A. L. A. catalogue
with a view to indicating the scope and subject of the books
included, and argues the importance of having the titles classified
by subjects in order that the notes may be more economically, com-
pactly, and intelligibly given. If scattered through a dictionary
catalogue, many of these notes would lose half their meaning, unless
much was repeated from notes on books just above or below in the
classified arrangement, but which would be widely separated in an
alphabetical arrangement. (90

Prominent among such indexes most needed are the much talked-of

scientific subject index to supplement the Royal society’s author

The printing of cards covering such current books as are received
by most libraries is also contemplated, and for this purpose it is pro-

The printed Museum catalogue comprises a very great majority

desiring a universal catalogue should accept the British museum
catalogue as a temporary substitute and labor to perfect it by

As early as July, 1878, the Cooperative committee of the A. L. A.
had decided to commence work on a catalogue to be made prac-
tically on the plan outlined by Melvil Dewey in his article on
“The coming catalogue,” Library journal, Aug. 1877., Cf entry
no. 38.

At the Nov. 1878 meeting of the Committee the plans for the
work were perfected, arrangements for the printing of the volume
by one of the largest printing establishments in the country having
been made, whereby the entire book was to be kept standing in
type, under constant revision. A book of 250 pages, the size of the
Library journal, would cost $2.50 per copy, or a cent a page more
if the book should turn out to be larger than first planned.

In the Library journal for May, 1879, a dozen sample titles
with specimen notes were printed.

By Jan. 1880 a provisional list of 5,000 books, alphabeted by
authors’ names, was nearly finished, and a provisional fiction list
made out by titles. The work was laid out in classes or depart-
ments, so as to permit the separate printing of class lists, if found
desirable.

In Feb. 1880 a circular was sent out to specialists asking their

cooperation in the final selection of titles to be included and solicit-
ing explanatory notes on titles chosen or briefest summaries of the
contents of the volumes. ;

At the A. I. A. Washington meeting in Feb. 188r it was
announced that Mr. Perkins, who had been in charge of the A. L. A.
Catalog scheme, had moved tothe Pacific coast and in consequence
no progress had been made on the work.

At the Buffalo meeting of the A. L. A. in 1883, Mr. Dewey
reviewed the history of the undertaking, but regretted that as yet no
editor for the work had been found. An animated discussion as to
the means of raising funds to pay the salary of an editor followed.

In April, 1884, the joint committee in charge of the work
announced that the United States Bureau of education would pub-
lish the Catalog in sections as fast as prepared, distributing a large
number free of charge, and that additional copies to any extent
would be procurable at the bare cost of manufacture. The plans,
manuscript and everything pertaining to the A. L. A. Catalog were
turned over to Mr. Dewey for editorial supervision.

In Sept. 1890 the A. L. A. voted to make an exhibit at the
Columbian exposition, an important feature of which should be a
model or A. L. A. library, composed of the 5,000 volumes selected
for the A. L. A. Catalog. The books were presented by their
respective publishers. It was planned to have the Catalog ready
for the Fair, and the first two parts, the Decimal and the Expan-
sive classifications, were ready in July, 1893, but the work as a
whole was not published until Match 1894.

Field, Herbert Haviland. Laréforme bibliographique. (/z 1894,
Société zoologique de France. Mémoires. Paris, 1894.
7: 259-263)

Address delivered at the annual meeting of the Society. Speaks
of the need of a central bibliographical bureau, international in
scope, which should be situated near one of the larger libraries
rich in zoological literature, for example, at London or at Naples.
Dr. Field would not have the bureau entirely dependent upon such
a library, believing that with the proper international organization
it would not be difficult to persuade authors to send copies of their
publications to such a bureau. The first duty of the bureau would
be to prepare full lists of all the works on zoology as they appear,
which would then be printed on one side of the leaf as a signature
or fascicle of a periodical record of zoological literature. Subject
entries beyond those which the mere title of the work indicate
should be brought out, the work of annotating and analyzing being
done by specialists. The fault which the writer finds with the
present method of bibliographical records is that much of interest
to the investigators along special lines is buried in collective
memoirs, general works and articles whose titles do not indicate
clearly the nature of their contents.

The scheme here outlined was practically carried out in the
founding of the Concilium bibliographicum at Zurich in Jan. 1896.

In order to remedy the shortcomings of trade as well as special

Sombart is recommended: viz, the establishment of international
bibliographical bureaus founded and endowed by the respective
governments, <A well-elaborated general plan of cooperation is

monumental works are not needed as much as short lists of the latest

point of the work always being the ‘‘ subject bibliography.”’

An international library association should be organized and a
central bureau established in connection with one of the great
American libraries; and in preparing bibliographies a beginning
should be made with a comparatively new subject or department of
knowledge, so that it could be from the first of practical use and
mastered with some degree of completeness. Thus it would be
possible to represent both sides of modern library development:
centralization with specialization. (125

Dr. Field, having spent three years in the work of indexing
the literature of the Stazione zoologica at Naples, elaborated a
scheme for an international bibliographical record of zoological
literature. The present report is based upon Dr. Field’s address
before the Société zoologique in 1894 (see no. 119). M. Bouvier
announces that Dr. Field has succeeded in interesting the majority
of zoologists in all countries and in laying the foundations of an
international bibliographical bureau, to begin work on Jan. 1, 1896.
The bureau will have for its aim the publication of a bibliographical
index of all current zoological literature, and will indicate briefly
all the subjects touched upon in each of the books and articles

entered in its lists. This index should be published in three forms:
first, asa bulletin, issued whenever there is enough material for a new
number; second, if there is a sufficient demand, an edition should be
printed on one side of the leaf, enabling subscribers to cut and
paste the entries on catalogue cards, and, third, the issue of these
same titles on separate cards, with subject entries and classificatory
symbols indicated.

The report was approved at the meeting of the Society, Feb. 27,

with the central bureau adopted. Cf Bulletin de la Société zoolo-

the matter or to contribute largely to its support. Insists upon the

Considerations as to how the plan of cataloguing scientific
literature may best be carried out, emphasizing particularly the
following points: the catalogue should be international in name
and scope; it should be exhaustive within its own limits; it should
be printed in annual instalments, with titles arranged alphabetically
by authors, and with subject index of the most exhaustive character.

Communication from W. P. Tatham, chairman of the commit-
tee on the library of the Franklin institute, Philadelphia, to the
Royal society of London, in reply to the circular issued by the
Society. Cf nos. 187, 138.

Suggests that the work begin with the year 1go1, the interven-
ing time being necessary for preparation; the advisability of main-
taining in a dozen or more of the principal centers of learning a
complete catalogue in the form of a great card index, constantly
kept up to date. Recommends a rational arrangement, so that
portions of the catalogue pertaining to any particular branch of
science might be obtained separately. (144

tion, however, as to the best mode of putting the scheme into
operation was to be gathered from the replies as a whole, though
there was a general agreement that the enterprise should be an
international one. A number of scientific bodies and institutions
expressed a willingness to cooperate in the work. Many of those
replying urged that an international congress be held to discuss
plans. (146

on the practicability of a card catalogue of scientific literature, sug-
gests that the material thus collected be published in book form
after the close of each year and contain a subject index. An inter-
national committee might be selected to determine the scope of the
work, the languages in which it is to be printed, and the persons to
be entrusted with its preparation. Each country should select a
person to prepare a bibliography and index of its scientific litera-
ture, the manuscript to be forwarded to the central office for final
revision. The catalogue should be published not only as a whole,
but so prepared as to admit of separation into different parts for
distribution to subscribers. Specimen cards illustrating the plan
are given, (148

Report of the international catalogue committee appointed by
the Royal society of London. A circular of inquiry had been
sent to 207 societies and more than Ioo replies were received. No
doubt was expressed as to the value of a catalogue such as was
proposed, and only two or three of those answering questioned the
possibility of carrying out the plan. The importance of subject
catalogues was generally recognized. No precise information as
to the best mode of putting the scheme into operation was to be
gathered from the replies. With great unanimity the opinion
was expressed that English should be the language of the subject
catalogue. It was urged that an international congress be held
to discuss plans, and the committee requested the president to take
measures with the view of calling together such a congress in July,
1896, to meet probably at London. (151

Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Great Britain, Hungary,
India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Natal, the Netherlands, New South
Wales, New Zealand, Norway, Queensland, Sweden, Switzerland,
and the United States.

At this conference, among other resolutions, it was decided:

1. That it is desirable to compile and publish, by means of
some international organization, a complete catalogue of scientific
literature, arranged both according to authors’ names and to sub-
ject-matter.

2. That any country which shall declare its willingness to
undertake the task shall be entrusted with the duty of collecting,
provisionally classifying, and transmitting to a central bureau, to
be established in London, in accordance with rules laid down by the
International council, all the entries belonging to the scientific
literature of that country.

Although the question of the method to be adopted in classify-
ing the subject-matter of the several sciences was discussed at great
length, no decision other than one adverse to the Decimal classifi-
cation was arrived at. The Royal society was requested to appoint
a committee to take into consideration this and many other ques-
tions of detail left undecided by the conference.

Refers to the International catalogue conference, London, 1896,
and especially to the classification of scientific papers. Claims that
the Decimal classification, being a notation rather than a classifica-
tion, is based on a purely conventional system which may satisfy a
librarian, but should not satisfy a man of science. The writer illus-
trates the difficulty, in many cases bordering on impossibility, of
dividing science into pure and applied, and then dividing the pure
sciences into abstract and concrete. The classification to be applied
must be a philosophical one, ‘‘founded on that genealogical tree
which the history of science ought to furnish.’’ To obtain positive
data it is absolutely necessary that scientific men of all nations
should take part in this international bibliographical work—the
‘bibliography of the 20th century.”’

A French version of this article, slightly curtailed, was pub-
lished in Bulletin de [ Institut international de bibliographie, 1897,

The first part of the work, ‘‘ Geschichtliche erorterungen,”’ is
a historical survey of the different plans for a universal catalogue
and of the various catalogues already in existence. From the many
plans that have been proposed, and the failures that have attended
them, the author deduces rules, ‘‘ Praktische vorschlage,’’? which
may be profitably applied in the making of the proposed general
catalogue of Prussian libraries. The author emphasizes the point
that the manuscript of the catalogue must be ready before any
printing is undertaken. A date should be fixed, and no material
included after printing has once begun. Other plans are to print
on one side of the page and make additions in writing as the work
proceeds. The publication of the catalogue on cards only is also
considered, but this form is not thought to have sufficient dura-
bility. A first supplement gives specimens of printed title-entries

This reprint would form a basis for central catalogues, representing

All the conclusions arrived at by the conference of July, 1896,
were generally approved, and much progress was made in deciding
the principles to be adopted in preparing the catalogue.

Full schedules for the several sciences, which had been pre-
pared by the committee of the Royal society, were laid before the
delegates. After prolonged discussion it was decided to adopt a
system of arbitrarily combined letters, numbers, and other symbols,
adapted in the case of each branch of science to its particular
needs. A provisional international committee was appointed to
settle authoritatively the details of the schedules.

The possible future relation of the Library of Congress to other
libraries of the country has made it seem of prime importance that
the principles governing its catalogue and classification, wherever
it would not involve too great a sacrifice to the Library, should be
influenced largely by a consideration of the rules and practices
governing the majority of other American libraries. (302

The committee has outlined two schemes, based largely upon
the practical experience of the A. L. A. Publishing section; the
first regarding chiefly the cataloguing of new books by sending
copies of all orders to one central bureau, a sort of clearing house,
the second contemplating the extension of the system to all books

Part of a paper read at a joint library meeting, Washington,
March, Igoo.

During the French revolution many monastic and other libra-
ries were confiscated and declared to b2 national property. Instruc-
tions were issued for cataloguing on cards all the books and
manuscripts in the different collections. The cards were to be
copied to form a catalogue for local use, and then sent to Paris, so
that exact information might be obtained in regard to all the
books that existed in each department and belonged to the state.

The statements made by the delegates of various countries as to the
extent to which they were authorized to promise contributions
toward the expenses of the catalogue being satisfactory, it was
decided to take further steps towards the publication of the cata-

the latter end in view, the committee recommended that the A. L. A.
appoint a special committee on cataloguing rules, including subject
headings, and that it form under the direction of the Publishing
section ‘‘a bureau for the cooperative cataloguing and printing of
cards under guarantee, which bureau shall undertake to catalogue
promptly or to provide for the cataloguing of books referred to it
by cooperating libraries, shall print cards for the same and also any
titles sent to it by cooperating libraries, shall keep on file electro-

Report of the first meeting of the International council, held
in London, December 12-13, 1900. The Royal society offered to
advance the necessary capital for starting the enterprise and to act
as publishers of the catalogue. A code of instructions for the use of
all who are taking part in the preparation of the catalogue and
schedules of classification for the subject indexes of the several
sciences were adopted.

An executive committee was appointed, consisting of the four
delegates of the Royal society and representatives of the four
largest subscribers to the catalogue, France, Germany, Italy, and
the United States. Dr. H. Forster Morley was appointed director
of the catalogue.

It was resolved to begin the work on January 1, Igor, and to
include in the catalogue all literature published after that date.

loguing of books is one important feature of their suggestions.
A general catalogue, with supplements to be issued regularly,
should be printed by linotype, and the slugs preserved for reprint-
ing if need be either in book form or on cards, The book would
serve as a check list in the ordering of the cards. (323

A library is practically useless without good catalogues, which
must be had whatever the expense. The solution of the problem
is to reduce the cost by cooperation. After some experiments cer-
tain definite results have been attained: a card well printed, in clear
type, and distributed to subscribing libraries by a central bureau.
A cooperative cataloguing bureau might be organized in connection
with the allied work now carried on by the Publishers’ weekly office
in New York. Vastly better than this is that these cards shall be
printed by the national library in Washington as part of its proper
functions as the library center for the whole nation. (327

Feb. desiderata and the ways and means to carry them out.
(dn Library journal, 27: 89-90)

Read at a meeting of the Bibliographical society of Chicago,
Jan. 30, 1902; reprinted in its Yearbook IgoI—1902, p. 14-17.

The productive scholars should be relieved from the prelimi-
nary search after sources, and this work done for them by persons
particularly fitted for that kind of work. A central institute where
such bibliographical research would be carried out should be estab-
lished. Three special undertakings are outlined: a bibliography
of bibliographies, a bibliography of serials, and a bibliography of
incunabula. (353

Feb.1. Josephson, Aksel G[ustav] S[alomon] What the Carnegie
institution could do for librarianship and bibliography.
(In the Dial, 32: 79)

The Carnegie institution should, among other undertakings,
establish a bibliographical department where the investigator could
have bibliographical material collected for him. Such a depart-
ment should have among its officers and assistants men who com-
bine the qualifications of the bibliographer and the scientific
specialist. It should also engage in the preparation of special
bibliographies which might be found to be particularly needed. By
a judicious use of electrotypes and printed cards duplication of
work could be avoided, and every entry once made would serve for
all future purposes, C/ also a letter from the author, on the
Carnegie institution, in Sczence, Oct. 24, 1902, n. s. 16:648-650; and
Dr. Emil Reich’s letter on ‘‘Mr. Carnegie and bibliography”’ in
the Library journal, 27: 823-824 (cited, with ensuing discussion,
from the London 7zmes). (354

Biagi, Guido. Una proposta americana per un catalogo co-
operativo. (lz Rivista delle biblioteche e degli archivi,
13: 49-53)

A full account of Mr. Putnam’s memorandum and circulars on
the distribution of printed cards. Dr. Biagi also prints part of a
letter sent to him by Dr. E. C. Richardson, who urges the feasi-
bility of international cooperation along this same line and states
that American librarians earnestly desire to secure some means by
which the printed cards of European libraries can be brought here,
and ours can be sent abroad, while they shall be of a nature to be
perfectly comprehensible to all users. These propositions are sec-
onded by Dr. Biagi, who begs for serious consideration of them on
part of the Italian libraries and the Ministry of public instruction.

The publication of this work is due largely to the suggestions
and financial support of Mr. George Iles, who in various papers
read before the A. L. A. had spoken in favor of the evaluation of
literature and urged cooperation in the making of special anno-
tated lists, and has himself done considerable work in the line of
editing lists of best books.

[The Royal society’s Catalogue of scientific papers, vol. 12]

(fn the Athenzeum, 1902, 1: 760-761)

Notice of vol. 12, which is supplementary to the preceding
eleven volumes and contains the most important of the papers ap-
pearing from 1880 to 1883 in periodicals not hitherto indexed. The
continuation of the Catalogue from 1884 to 1900, and the classified
index to the twelve volumes up to 1883 are in hand and consider-
able progress has been made with the index. This will close the
work for which the Royal society undertook individual responsi-
bility, the task of cataloguing scientific literature from the year
1go1 onwards having been taken in hand by an international or-
ganization on the initiative of the Society.

The cost of completing the catalogue and its subject index is
estimated at £12,000. Up to 1889 the undertaking was subsidized
by the English government, but since that time the expense has
devolved upon the Royal society. ‘‘ The Royal society,’’ accord-
ing toa note in the Academy and literature, Nov. 8, 1902, p. 484,
‘“now feels that its increasing activities hardly warrant this expend-
iture, and they appeal for outside support to complete their work.
Dr. Ludwig Mond has promised £1,500 a year for four years, and
Mr. - ndrew Carnegie has contributed £1,000.’’ (362

Paper read at the A. L. A. Boston and Magnolia conference,

Referring to a plan which the writer presented to the A. L. A.
Cooperation committee some years ago, and to a cataloguing plan
of the same committee presented at the A. L. A. Montreal con-
ference, 1900, the writer says that the failure of the scheme was
inherent in the proposition that institutions, libraries, and societies
founded to further certain definite interests should spend a part of
their income in dn undertaking which could not be said to be a
