It does not pretend to be complete. The reference books and bibliographies included in this list are necessarily limited, first, to those of a strictly reference character, and, secondly, to the most useful works in the English language, with some exceptions in other lan- guages. It is obviously impossible, without exceeding the limits of one volume, to include all of the important works of reference in foreign languages, which, though often of more value than the corresponding English books, still are of restricted use owing to the comparatively small number of readers of foreign languages who frequent our libraries. Reference books which are limited to the use of the specialist have been in like manner usu- ally omitted. Out-of-print books have occasionally been mentioned because they are to be found in the older libraries. It sometimes happens that the best reference book on a subject is out of print. Almost all books of reference possess defects as well as merits ; it is difficult indeed to find one that is perfect. At the same time they are essential to a well -equipped library. The annotations of the titles herein contained are largely of a descriptive character, showing for what purposes the books mentioned are especially useful. Besides cyclopedias and dictionaries which give direct aid, the reader will have to consult more elaborate treatises for further information. Bibliographies are guides to these. A know ledge of bibliography, therefore, forms an important part in the preparation of the student. The most useful reference department will include bibliographies of special subjects along with the cyclopedias of those subjects. It is to be regretted that books belonging to the class Bibliography are as a rule kept in the cataloger's room or the librarian's office, not in the reference department where they would be useful to the public. In a large library, such an important printed catalog as that of the Peabody Institute Library should by all means be kept where the public can have easy access to it, even if it is necessary to duplicate such a work. This manual will also serve as a guide in the selection of reference books for a library. The prices given are the publishers' prices, and the lowest price is usually quoted. Books can often be obtained at a discount or picked up from time to time at auction or second-hand stores at a much reduced price. Reference books are expensive, and few libraries can afford to keep up with new editions or even with recent authorities. In many cases new editions are not worth the cost. They are frequently made from the same plates as the earlier editions, with slight alterations, not of sufficient importance to warrant the expense involved in their purchase. A suggestive list of one hundred reference books for a small library will be found at the end of the volume. The selection of the books in this volume has been made from a study of the reference &^ partments of the principal libraries of Philadelphia, Boston, New York, St. Louis, and Wash- viii PREFACE ington, and practically covers the course of study in reference books as pursued in the Drexel Institute Library School. Other library schools also give similar courses. The compiler extends grateful acknowledgments for helpful suggestions to Mr. F. W. Faxon, Mr. Charles C. Soule, Mr. S. H. Berry, Mr. A. Growoll, Mr. Edward H. Virgin, Mr. David H. Hutcheson, Mr. Charles Martel, Mr. Steingrimur Stefansson, Dr. H. A. Millis, Dr. Roland P. Falkner, Miss A. R. Hasse, Miss Theodosia E. Macurdy, Mr. C. W.

Lane, and Mi3s Nina E. Browne for their assistance in reading proof. GUIDE TO REFERENCE BOOKS "Reference books are the clearing-houses of knowledge. They are libraries in miniature, focusing into a single book information scattered through a thousand volumes. They are short- cuts to learning, pass-keys to the accumulated wisdom of the ages. The ordinary reader knows little of them, and realizes but slightly the great help they would be to him in his daily reading and daily living." W: G: Jordan in Literary era, 8 : 52. " A selection of the best works of reference should be the corner- stone of every library collec- tion." A. R. Spofford in Ms Book for all readers. "... For I have long known how much books of reference fail of all the good which they might accomplish, simply from ignorance of them, or inability to use them intelligently. " Justin Winsor in Lib. jour. 3 : 159. "It is quite possible for a person of ordinary memory and ability, by careful study of refer- ence books, by familiarity with the arrangement of his library, and by attention to the aids which his fellow librarians have put in print, to gain that respectable amount of information about a great many things essential to work at the information desk." George T. Little in Lib. jour. ' ' We all agree in lamenting that there are so many houses even some of considerable social position where you will not find a good atlas, a good dictionary, or a good cyclopaedia of refer- ence. What is still more lamentable, in a good many more houses where these books are, they are never referred to or opened. That is a very discreditable fact, because I defy anybody to take up a single copy of the Times newspaper and not come upon something in it, upon which, if their interest in the affairs of the day were active, intelligent, and alert as it ought to be, they would consult an atlas, dictionary, or cyclopaedia of reference." John Morley in Ms Studies in literature, p. 205. "It [a public library] should be rich in books of reference, in encyclopaedias, where one may learn without cost of research what things are generally known. For it is far more useful to know these than to know those that are not generally known." J. JR. Lowell in Ms Books and libraries. INTRODUCTION A reference book has been defined as " a book which is to be consulted for definite points of information rather than read through, and is arranged with explicit reference to ease in finding specific facts." (E. C. Richardson in Lib. jour. 18 : 254.) Books which come under this classi- fication are usually separated from the rest of the books in a library and placed where they can be most readily consulted by the public, without the delay of customary formalities. They comprise general encyclopedias, cyclopedias of special subjects, dictionaries, gazetteers, atlases, etc. The term reference book in public libraries is also used to include many books that do not circulate outside the library either on account of their character or their value. 1 IN LIBRARIES The term reference work is commonly used in libraries to include that branch of their admin- istration which deals with the assistance given to readers in their use of the resources of the library. This is an important part of the educational work of public libraries. The "informa- tion desk" is now a well-established feature in the large libraries of America. 2 At this post the reference librarian presides. His duties are to assist readers in their search for information, and to some extent to guide the reading public by preparing lists of references on topics of the day or on subjects of general interest. He must be able to send inquirers to the necessary refer- ence books or other authorities, and in order to do this he should have a thorough knowledge of the librarian's aids and guides, reference books, and bibliographies. The reference librarian, especially in a public library, should keep a record of the questions most frequently asked, specifying places in which answers to the same can be found. It is well, if time does not allow for analytic work to be inserted in the card catalogue, to keep this record near the information desk, writing the questions on cards with references where found, and filing alphabetically. Much valuable time is consumed in looking up the same question over and over again. This is particularly noticeable in the case of questions for school work where a large number of children are assigned the same topic. Lists of all references on such subjects as Christmas, Arbor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Washington's Farewell address, lives of noted personages, Washington, Lincoln, Lowell, Holmes, etc., should be always at hand covering every available reference in the library on the subject. In libraries where there is no reference librarian every attendant at the delivery desk must be ready to answer questions, and, when not able to do so, must refer them to the Librarian. Any one at all familiar with library management knows what a large number of questions some trivial and some important are brought to the library for solution every day. The Librarian cannot always be accessible to the numerous visitors who come to the library. It is, therefore, of the highest importance that his assistants should, so far as possible, under- stand how to use reference books, which serve frequently as guides to more important authori- ties which may not be included under the limited title, reference book. The public certainly cannot expect the attendants to know the answers to the questions which they ask, but in the majority of cases they should be expected to know where to find them. This knowledge comes largely from daily experience, and becomes constantly more technical in character ; it can, how- 1 See the article on Reference books by E. C. Richardson, in Dewey, Melvil, ed. Papers prepared for the World's library congress, 1896, p. 976-982. 1 See Assistance to readers, by W: E. Foster, in Dewey, Melvil, ed. Papers prepared for the World's library congress, 1896, p. 982-993. 4 INTRODUCTION ever, be materially assisted by a systematic study of reference books. Johnson said : " Know- ledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it." The latter is one of the necessary requirements of a librarian. A thorough understand- ing of the use and value of reference books assists one to turn readily to the correct book for the solution of some difficult point, and saves much valuable time. Every desk-attendant should be a reference librarian so far as in him lies the ability. The true librarian finds no greater satisfaction in his daily work than that of solving a difficult problem for some earnest student by placing before him the best authority from some hidden corner of the library. The memory can be trained along these lines to a remarkable degree. The librarian who sincerely wishes to succeed in this, by a systematic study of the books of reference, and the use of the indexes and other keys, will be able to accomplish what will appear most wonderful to one not accustomed to the daily handling of books and constant observation of them. A librarian, distinguished for his ability to assist readers and students, writes : "In the inter- vals of library work, I am accustomed to consider the looking up of sub j ects or authorities as one of my very best recreations. It is as interesting as a game of whist and much more profit- able. . . . And this is one of the foremost attractions, let me add, of the librarian's calling ; it is more full of intellectual variety, of wide-open avenues to knowledge, than any other, vocation whatever." A. M. Spofford in his Book for all readers, p. 193. In some of the large libraries meetings of the assistants are held at regular intervals. A study of aids and guides, with the result of practical experience in using them, can be made an instruc- tive feature of such meetings. There are possibilities of improvement in the regular staff of the library in this way, while the results can be tested from time to time if desired by means of examinations, the questions asked at the delivery desk serving as a basis for such examination. IN COLLEGES In many colleges the study of bibliography has been introduced usually as an elective course in the senior year in which the use of reference books and the library catalog is included. This is realizing, to some extent, what Emerson so much desired when he wrote, earnestly advo- cating a professorship of books in every college. That the college is the proper field for such study there is little question. It is only to be regretted that such a chair does not exist in every college, and that the course is not a regular part of the curriculum. It is here that the student, who is pursuing a special line of work, finds that a knowledge of bibliography will aid him in obtaining access to the literature of his subject, and that in thoroughly understanding how to use reference books, he can find quickly information on subjects outside his specialty which otherwise he would either do without, or be obliged to consume much valuable time in finding. IN SCHOOLS A systematic study of the use of books can also be made an important feature in the training of teachers, and it might therefore be introduced to advantage into the course of study in high and normal schools. The knowledge of how to advise others what to read and how to find answers to the questions constantly coming up in the course of their reading is of the greatest value to the student who is soon to go out to teach young people. One of the difficult problems of the public libraries of the present day, especially in our large cities, is to make closer the union between the public library and the public schools. Many methods have been adopted to bring about better results in improving the character of the reading of the children in the schools, and much valuable discussion of these methods may be found in the volumes of the Library Journal. Nevertheless it still remains a formidable task for one librarian in a large city to influ- ence several hundred public school teachers or to assist them to any perceptible degree in learning how to use the library and the books in it. Instruction of this character should begin before the INTRODUCTION 5 cares and busy hours of teaching take up all the time, if not all the enthusiasm and desire on the part of the teacher. A normal school is generally provided with a working collection of books. The instruction should therefore include a study of the catalog and classification of its own library, which must be made to conform as nearly as possible to the best library methods. In teaching the use of reference books in schools, it will often be found necessary to take the class to the public library, if the school library does not contain the most important of these books. On leaving the school, every student should be able to go to a library to look up any information either in catalog, on shelves, or in reference books. The references (p. 6-8) will call attention to many articles in library periodicals, illustrating courses now given in normal schools. HOW TO STUDY REFERENCE BOOKS The student should first read the title-page and preface or introduction of each reference book, where the purpose of the book is usually stated. Then examine the book for special features, including indexes, cross-references,! bibliographies, etc. Several articles should be examined and compared with those on the same subj ects in another reference book. Additional points to be noted are : the authority for the article, its arrangement, the date, the treatment of the subject, whether technical or popular, whether concise or extended. It is not sufficient that titles of reference books should be known to the student, but syste- matic study should be followed by constant reference to the books by means of set questions which must be looked up thoroughly. As the student progresses, he must not confine himself to the reference books, but consult the best books on any subject for fuller, and sometimes more authoritative, information. Many text-books are the best reference books on special subjects. These have not been included in this list, which is limited to the more narrow meaning of the term reference book. Libraries such as that of the British Museum, and even others not so large, include the leading text-books and authorities in the reference department. This should be done if the library can afford to possess duplicate copies. Care should always be taken to keep in touch with what is being published, the latest editions and most recent authorities should be noted, and when a new work comes out, and is found to be useful for some specific purpose, it should be added to the students' list of reference books. : QF T.

ENCYCLOPEDIAS The word Encyclopedia is derived from two Greek words, meaning circular and instruction, and is applied to "a work in which the various topics included under several or all branches of knowledge are treated separately and usually in alphabetical order." (Century dictionary.) The shorter form, cyclopedia, is used with the same meaning, but it is often limited to a book treat- ing of the various topics of one branch of knowledge. In Encyclopedias the articles are usually arranged in alphabetical order as the most con- venient for ready reference. Some, however, have topics arranged under the general class not under the specific name of the subject, as in the Britannica. In others a classified method of arrangement has been adopted ; for example, the Iconographic encyclopaedia, where each volume treats of a separate class. The following outline is a condensed statement of the leading facts in the history of Encyclo- pedias. For fuller information consult the Century dictionary, Encyclopaedia Britannica, La grande encyclopedic, Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Larousse's Grand dictionnaire (pref. p. 5-76), and the chapter in Morley's Diderot and the Encyclopaedists (1: 117-247). Before the 16th century many attempts had been made to present in systematic form what- ever was known in all branches of learning. Among the earliest of these may be mentioned the lost works of Terentius Varro in the first century b. c. and the Historia naturalis of Pliny (23-79 a. d.). The Opus majus of Roger Bacon in the 13th century was an effort of the same kind. During this century many volumes appeared bearing the title, Speculum (notably those of Vincent of Beauvais), which were the encyclopedias of their time. It was, however, in 1541 that Ringelberg's Cyclopedia gave the name that has been com- monly used for works of this character, and from that time the number of similar enterprises increased rapidly. In the 17th century, encyclopedias were printed in the vernacular, the Latin language having prevailed until that time. Bayle's Dictionnaire historique et critique, which appeared in 1696, was for a long time an authority, and was translated into English. It is still to be found either in the original or in translation among reference books, and has been in the past a source of information for many writers, although now it is seldom used.

AMERICAN An American reprint of the 9th edition of the En- cyclopaedia Britannica (Phil. Stoddart, 1875-90. 24v. and index, with supplement in 5v. $75) contains the same articles, with additional ones relating to Amer- ican subjects at the end of each volume. It is less expensive than the English edition, though not so well printed. Other and cheaper reprints have been made. Supplements to the Encyclopaedia Britannica have been compiled with the object of furnishing informa- tion on American subjects not sufficiently well treated in the original work, and including subjects omitted from it. Among these are the Supplement published by Stoddart (N. Y. Stoddart, 1882-89. 4v. $32), and one edited by D. O. Kellogg (Akron, O., Werner, 1900. 5v. $12.50.)

It is a good concise encyclopedia, probably not sufficiently Ameri- can, although the later editions have articles on American subjects written by specialists in the United States. Bibliographical references. Not much revi- sion has been made since the 1890 edition. Quilter, Harry.

Sonnenschein, 1902. 6s. 032 A compact one-volume encyclopedia, in which the first part of the alphabet occupies about three quarters of the book. Of not much importance, but some- times found useful. Among the old English encyclopedias occa- sionally used may be mentioned : English cyclopedia, ed. by Charles Knight (1854-62, 22v. and Suppl. 1869-73, 4v.). Penny cyclopedia (1833-43, 27v.). Encyclopaedia Metropolitana (1817-45, 30v.). Rees's Cyclopaedia ; or, Universal dictionary of arts, sciences, and literature (1802-19, 45v.). AMERICAN The earliest American encyclopedias appear to have been simply reprints of those published in England. The Encyclopaedia Americana (Phil. 1829-33, 13v.) was based on the German Konversations-lexikon. The most important American encyclopedias in use at the present time are the following Universal cyclopaedia. New ed. prepared by a large corps of editors assisted by eminent European and American specialists, under the direction of C: K. Adams. 12 v. il. pi. maps, Q. N. Y. Appleton, 1900, [< 1874-99], $63. 031 Published originally in 1874 under the title, John- son's Universal cyclopaedia. This is the latest edition of the most comprehensive American encyclopedia, more nearly up to date than any other. Entry is made under specific subject and articles are signed. Scien- tific articles are good. Contains biographies of living persons. Colored plates and maps. Bibliographies appended to each article. This new edition is not a thorough revision ; the old plates have been used, slight modifications having been made where it would not affect the use of the old plates. An appendix (about 20 pages) to each volume gives new articles. Maps and illustrations have been altered. The work has been unnecessarily extended from 8 to 12 volumes without the addition of a corre- sponding revision.

Appleton, 1888. $5. 031 The first edition of the cyclopaedia bore the title, New American cyclopaedia (1861-63, 16v.). The advance of knowledge since the publication of the last volume in 1883 makes the work now out of date for many subjects. It is supplemented by the Annual cyclopaedia, but with the supplements is too large a work for ready reference. Appleton's annual cyclopaedia and register of important events in 1876-95.

The second series forms a supplement to the American cyclopaedia. Each volume contains the history of the world for the year, biographical sketches of prominent men with portraits, a necrology, sketch of the literature of the year, and other valuable his- torical and statistical matter, the whole arranged alphabetically. The full alphabetical index to the second sei-ies will be found in volume 20, while the index in the volumes of the third series is cumula- tive.

An encyclopedia which differs in its treat- ment of subjects and in its arrangement, not so useful for the general public, but of occa- sional assistance to the special student is : Iconographic encyclopaedia of the arts and sciences ; tr. fr. the German of the Bil- der-atlas, iconographische encyclopaedic ; rev. and enl. by eminent American specialists. 7 v. il. pi. maps, Q.

Paint- ing and sculpture ; 4. Architecture ; 5. Constructive arts ; 6. Applied mechanics ; 7. Principles of geology. This is an anglicized edition of the German Bilder- atlas (Brockhaus), an earlier edition of which was translated by J. G. Heck (1851, in 4v. text and 2v. plates). The new edition is revised and enlarged by American specialists. It includes " those branches of human knowledge whose acquisition can be facili- tated and whose principles made clear by pictorial representation." The arrangement is not alphabet- ical but classed, related subjects being grouped to- gether, and indexes at the end of each volume refer under the specific subject to the page where informa- tion and plates will be found.

Supplements the preceding by giving biographical and geographical information. These cyclopedias are most useful in the children's room. Many encyclopedias published earlier than those here mentioned, while for every -day use now out of date, contain much information that is occasionally needed. Among these may be mentioned : Brande & Cox's Dictionary of sci- ence, literature, and art (1875, 3v.), and Zell's Popular encyclopaedia (1875-76, 2v.). FRENCH In France, during the 18th century, the fa- mous Encyclopedic was conspicuous above all others of the time. This was the work of Diderot & D'Alembert, aided by many of the most able writers of that period, and was based on a French translation of the Cyclopedia of Ephraim Chambers. The Encyclopedic was published in Paris and Neufchatel in 28 vols., 1751-72, and was followed by a supplement in 5 vols., Amsterdam, 1776-77, and an ana- lytical index, Paris, 1780. It was of the greatest influence in spreading revolutionary thought in France. Several editions were published outside of France, and it served as a model for many other encyclopedias. For further information about this most interesting work, see Morley's chapter on the Encyclopaedia in his Diderot and the Encyclopaedists, 1891, 1: 117-247, and D'Alembert's Discours pr^liminaire de l'encyclope- die, Paris, 1893. The French encyclopedias of the present time are of importance to every library as the most convenient source for information regarding European subjects.

The Allgemeine encyclopadie der wissen- schaften und kilnste, edited by the scholars Ersch and Gruber, is the most extended. This great work was begun in 1818, and at present more than 170 volumes have appeared at inter- vals in three sections. Each subject is treated exhaustively, and many valuable contributions by specialists make it an important reference work. Its usefulness, however, is limited in this country to a few scholars. The "Konversations-lexicons," which have been so popular in Germany, are better known to our American libraries than any other German reference books. They have been used as models by later American encyclopedists in their compilations. The Konversations-lexicon of Brockhaus and that of Meyer hold an al- most equally important place in reference de- partments. Brockhaus, Friedrich Arnold. Brockhaus's conversations - lexicon ; allgemeine deutsche real-encyklopadie. Ed. 14 enl. 17v. il. pi. maps, Q. Lpz. Brockhaus, 1892-95. 170m. 033 v. 17 is a supplementary volume. v. 1-6 of the 15th edition have been published at 12m. per vol. Begun in 1796 by Lobel, it was taken up by Brock- haus in 1808. The first edition bore the title Damens- lexicon. "No encyclopaedia has been more useful and suc- cessful, or more frequently copied, imitated, and translated." Encyclopaedia Britannica, article En- cyclopaedias. Meyer, Hermann Julius. Meyer's konver- sations-lexicon ; eine encyklopadie des allge- meinen wissens. Ed. 5 enl. 21v. il. pi. maps, O. Lpz. Bibliog. instituts, 1893-1901. 10m. per vol. 033 v. 18 contains the index and some supplementary articles ; v. 19-21 are annual supplements arranged alphabetically. The volumes contain many illustra- tions and colored plates. "In completeness and compression the best of its kind." Chambers's Encyclopaedia. Some important encyclopedias in the other continental languages will be found in large libraries, and are necessary in looking up full information regarding foreign affairs. Among these may be mentioned : ITALIAN Nuova enciclopedia italiana; ovvero, Dizi- onario generale di scienze, lettere, industrie, ecc. Ed. 6 enl. 25 v. in 26, il. pi. F. Torino, Unione tipografico-editrice Torinese, 1875-88. 035 Supplemento raccolta di monografie sui recenti progressi delle scienze, delle arti e delle industrie, di biografie, di notizie storiche, geo- grafiche, statistiche, ecc. 5v. in 6, il. pi. F. Torino, Unione tipografico-editrice Torinese, 1889-99. 035 SPANISH Diccionario enciclopedico hispano-ameri- cano de literatura, ciencias y artes. 23v. il. pi. maps, F. Barcelona, Montaner y Simon, 1887-98. 036 NORWEGIAN Nordisk familjebok ; konversationslexikon och real-encyklopedi. 20v. il. pi. maps, O. Stockholm, 1876-99. 033.9 v. 19-20 are supplements. The largest encyclopedia is one published in China, a copy of which has been placed in the British museum, consisting of 5020 native volumes bound in 1000 volumes. In using general encyclopedias, the student should bear in mind the following points : (a) Whether the information wanted would be affected by the date of the article. (b) Whether the article wanted should be a brief statement or a more exhaustive treatise on the subject. Whether it should be technical or popular. (c) Whether the encyclopedia in hand enters under the general or the specific subj ect. In the Britannica one would find the smaller subjects treated under the class which includes them ; in Johnson and others they are usually to be found under their own headings. (d) To use the indexes and cross-references if the subject is not treated under the word for which one looks. (e) To observe the bibliographical references at the end of the articles and follow up a sub- ject by consulting the best authorities on it. DICTIONARIES The origin of the word is from the Latin dictionarium, which means a word-book. It was probably first employed in this sense by Joannes de Garlanda (d. 1250 a. d.). For the uses of the word consult the Century dictionary, and for its history the Introduction to Worcester's Dic- tionary, Tucker's Our common speech, p. 95-150, Williams's Our dictionaries and other English language topics, p. 5-44, and Baynes's Shakespeare studies and Essay on English dictiona- ries, p. 358-409. An interesting history of English dictionaries is to be found in James A. H. Murray's Evolution of English lexicography, 1900, 51 p. A bibliography of dictionaries still* useful, though not recent, is Trubner's Catalogue of dictionaries and grammars of the world (Lond. Trubner, 1882). ENGLISH The earliest English dictionary of impor- tance was Nathan Bailey's An universal ety- mological English dictionary (1721). Pre- vious to the publication of this work, there had been no attempt to prepare a dictionary of all the words in the English language. Many glossaries of difficult words had been compiled during the 17th century, but they were not what we now mean when we speak of diction- aries. After Bailey's great work, the next iinpor* tant dictionary was that by the celebrated au- thor and lexicographer, Dr. Samuel Johnson, which is now better known than any of the dictionaries that appeared in the 18th century. It was published in 1755 (2 vols, folio), and was used as a basis for other dictionaries by many compilers. The publication of John- son's Dictionary "formed a greater era than that of any other work. No other dictionary has had so much influence in fixing the exter- nal form of the language and ascertaining and settling the meaning and proper use of words." Worcester. Many dictionaries followed Johnson's, but there were none of much value until the ap- pearance of Charles Richardson's New dic- tionary of the English language, which was published in 1838 (2 vols. 4). In this work more attention was paid to the history of words, showing by numerous quotations their meanings and any changes in meaning they may have undergone. This dictionary is still ranked high among scholars. We now come to the dictionaries of the pre- sent day, which for practical use have super- seded the earlier ones. The most comprehen- sive is : Murray, James Augustus Henry. New English dictionary on historical principles, v. 1-5, F. Ox. Clarendon press, 1888-1900. 52s. 6d. per vol. 423 Founded mainly on the materials collected by the Philological society, since 1857. The interesting his- tory of this undertaking is told in the preface. Very full on the philological side, it includes Eng- lish words now in general use, or those in use at any time during the past 700 years, giving their meaning, origin, and history, with a large number of quota- tions from English writers to illustrate the history and use of words. On account of the slow progress made in publishing this great work, it will probably be many years before it is completed. Vol. 5 to K. It is a dictionary for the scholar rather than for popular use. Known also as the Oxford dictionary. Other English dictionaries of importance are : Stormonth's Dictionary of the English lan- guage (N. Y. Scribner, 1899. $9); Ogilvie's Imperial dictionary (Lond. Blackie, 1882-83. 4v. 5), encyclopedic in character ; Hunter's Encyclopaedic dictionary (Lond. Cassell, 1879- 88. 7v. Q. 21s. per vol.), which has been re- printed in America (Phil. Syndicate pub. co. 1895. 4v. AMERICAN During the past fifty years, two dictionaries have been published in the United States which hold about equal rank as authorities. The un- abridged editions of Worcester's and of Web- ster's dictionaries have gone through many revisions. Webster's dictionary was for many 14 DICTIONARIES years considered the authority for derivation and definition of words, while Worcester's was quoted as authority for pronunciation. The International dictionary, the latest edition of Webster, combines all the advantages of both. Webster, Noah. International dictionary of the English language. 2011 p. il. por. F. Sprgf. [Mass.], Merriam, 1891, [ c '64-90]. $12. 423 The first edition of Webster appeared in 1828. A later edition than the one above (1900) contains in a supplement a list of about 25,000 new words (238 p.). The supplement will probably be overlooked by the majority of users. The 1902 edition contains in addi- tion a Reference history of the world, with index. . " The last edition of Webster, the International, is, perhaps, the best of one volume dictionaries."

There is an introduction on the history of English lexicography and a catalogue of English dictionaries. Both Worcester's and Webster's dictionaries contain useful appendixes which are similar in scope : Dictionary of noted fictitious persons, places, etc. Pronouncing dictionary of biography. Pronouncing dictionary of Christian names. Pronouncing gazetteer of the world. Pronouncing dictionary of Scripture proper names. Pronouncing dictionary of Greek and Latin proper names. Dictionary of foreign quotations, phrases, etc. Tables of abbreviations used in writing and print- ing. Tables of signs used in writing and printing. Whitney, William Dwight.

ETYMOLOGY For the etymology of the English language, the best authority, so far as it has been pub- lished, is Murray's New English dictionary. A smaller but very useful volume, and the best concise dictionary is : Skeat, Walter William. Etymological dictionary of the English language. Ed. 2. / 844 p. sq. Q. Ox. Clarendon press, 1893. 2 4s. 422 " Each article begins with a word, the etymology of which is to be sought ; then a brief definition merely as a mark to identify the word ; next an exact state- ment of the actual or probable language whence the word is taken, with an account of the channel or chan- nels through which it has reached us." Preface. A few quotations are given. SYNONYMS Books of synonyms are in constant use to distinguish words of similar meaning, and to assist in obtaining a variety of expression.

SPECIAL SUBJECTS The general cyclopedias do not always contain answers to questions which come up in rela- tion to a particular subject. If the subject is a technical one for which a special cyclopedia has been compiled, it will save time to consult such a work, particularly if it is recent. A cyclopedia of this kind will describe and explain more minutely all the details of a subject and in many cases will be illustrated. For example, a special cyclopedia of chemistry will bring together all that relates to chemistry that is of practical use at the time of publication and within the scope of the work as laid down by the compiler. Every technical term will be explained as it could not be in a general cyclopedia. Many subjects are without special dictionaries and, therefore, longer or more recent treatises than those contained in the encyclopedias must be sought in magazine articles, transactions of societies, or in books on the subject not belonging to the reference collection. PHILOSOPHY Baldwin, James Mark. Dictionary of phi- losophy and psychology, v. 1, il. Q. N. Y. Macmillan, 1901. $15. 103 Its object is " to understand the meanings which our terms have, and to render them by clear defini- tions . . . and to interpret the movements of thought through which the meanings thus determined have arisen, with a view to discovering what is really vital in the development of thought and term in one." The treatment is primarily that of a dictionary, not that of a cyclopedia. The bibliographical feature has been given especial attention. There are references to each article. Volume 3 will be a complete biblio- graphy of the subject. " This dictionary is not only the first adequate work of its kind in English, but may be said to be the first adequate philosophic dictionary in any language." Joseph Jastrow in Dial, 31 : 276.

In comparing these two important dictionaries the Nation says : " The one is an international undertak- ing which will be accepted and quoted on the conti- nent of Europe as well as in England and America ; the other is adapted for the use of the English-speak- ing peoples. The one [Cheyne] appeals to scholars and specialists, the other [Hastings] more to the body of the Christian church." Nation, 70 : 246. Smith, Sir William, and Fuller, J.

Scribner, 1895. $3 per vol.), is in course of publication. It represents the latest biblical criticism, while Lange stands for the old.

There are thus two alphabets and a general index at end. Tables of statistics of all countries, and covering as many years as possible on all subjects, the arrangement alphabetical. YEAR-BOOKS Year-books or annuals which give statistical information regarding the various states of the world are usually published about February or March of each year, and should be obtained immediately upon publication. They form one of the most important sections of a refer- ence department, since they afford a ready guide to recent statistics, saving much investigation into authorities more difficult of access. Not only the current number, but back numbers as well, will be found necessary in a large library. Besides the Statesman's year-book which is issued in England, there should be an Amer- ican annual to supply the necessary statistical facts about our own country which cannot be found so completely given in the English pub- lication, e. g. election returns of the various states, etc Appleton's Annual cyclopedia and the Interna- tional year-book, already described under Ency- clopedias, are among the important year-books.

The full census reports must be consulted for more detailed statistical information regard- ing this country.

The French cyclopedia Diction- naire de pedagogie et d'instruction primaire by Ferdinand Buisson (Paris, Hachette, 1882. 4 v.) is also important.

Besides many general books on costume, such as Racinet's Le costume historique, il- lustrated biographies and histories of various countries and periods must be consulted. SCIENCE In no department (except statistics) is it more necessary to keep up with recent editions of reference books than in science. Many of the cyclopedias in this section become obsolete almost as soon as published. The reference library must therefore contain the latest editions and authorities. Comparatively few good scien- tific dictionaries exist. Many old cyclopedias are frequently found useful; among these are: Tomlinson's Cyclopaedia of useful arts, me- chanical and chemical, manufactures, mining, and engineering (Lond. Virtue, 1868. 3v.), and Ure's Dictionary of arts, manufactures, and mines (N. Y. 1857-62. 2v.). TECHNICAL TERMS Tolhausen, Alexandre.

DRAMA An index to the large collections of dramas usually to be found in our libraries would be a valuable addition to the tools of a reference librarian. It is often necessary for him to look up the author of a play whose title only is known, or to ascertain in what volume of the numerous sets of dramas the play can be found. The most useful indexes at present available for the purpose are those to be found in certain library catalogs, notably those of the Milwau- kee public library and the Library of the Pea- body institute. In the Catalogue of the Milwaukee public library a list of the plays to be found in col- lections in that Library is given under the au- thors and under the titles, and it indexes such sets as those of Lacy's and French's Acting edition of plays and other well-known dramas. The Peabody institute library catalogue (vol. 2) under the heading Drama gives an al- phabetical list of single plays, including those in foreign languages as well as in English. This is continued in the Supplement. The dramatic works of separate authors and many collections are indexed, among which are Dodsley's Old plays, Inchbald's British theatre, Cumberland's British theatre, and others.

Consult first the national biographical diction- ary in looking up a sketch of the life of a per- son. The articles are likely to be fuller, and more names are usually included in it. There are national biographical dictionaries for the more important countries of the world, of which only those in most general use are here mentioned. General encyclopedias contain some excel- lent biographies. The Encyclopaedia Britan- nica does not include names of living per- sons. The biographical articles in Johnson's are good and include contemporaries. Larousse is BIOGRAPHY 41 especially useful for Europeans. Webster's International dictionary contains in an appen- dix 10,000 names, giving merely full name, dates, and characterization. In addition to biographical reference books, those cyclopedias of special subjects which in- clude lives of persons famous in certain lines must be consulted. These have been described more fully under other headings; e. g. for painters, Champlin and Perkins's Cyclopedia of painters and painting ; for musicians, Cham- plin and Apthorp's Cyclopedia of music and musicians, and Grove's Dictionary of music ; for theologians, Smith's Dictionary of the Bible, and McClintock and Strong's Ency- clopaedia of biblical, theological, and ecclesias- tical literature, etc. The article on biographical dictionaries by C. H. Hull, in Johnson's universal cyclopae- dia, 1 : 629, has some interesting information about their history, with a list of the best dic- tionaries. GENERAL Thomas, Joseph.

In the introduction the general principles of pronunciation of each of the more important Euro- pean and Asiatic languages are stated. The third edition includes some slight alterations of the original plates, which bring the information to the end of the nineteenth century. These have been made only when possible to do so without too much change to the articles. New names have in the same manner been inserted only where practicable.

Nor are these lists so full, or compiled with such accuracy, as those in the Biographie universelle.

DIRECTORIES The city directory is in constant demand and should therefore be in the most convenient place in the library. In a large city it is important to include the business directory of the city which groups together all persons engaged in the same line of business. The Blue book is also much used. Large libraries will possess in ad- dition directories of the large cities of this country. Volumes of past years are frequently consulted. Various directories of special classes of per- sons published annually in England and Amer- ica are also necessary to a large reference col- lection. Among these are : American: Medical and surgical register of the U. S. and Canada, the various religious directories, Textile manufacturers' directory and year book, Banker's register, Sharp & Alle- man Co.'s lawyers' and bankers' directory, etc. English : Whitaker's naval and military di- rectory and Indian army list, Colonial office list, Foreign office list, Hart's army list, Navy list, Official army list, Civil service directory, etc. GENEALOGY Genealogies constitute a much-used class of books in our public libraries. In large cities historical society libraries will contain the best collections of genealogical books, and read- ers can be referred to them. The books men- tioned here are among the best guides to the innumerable sources of information for family histories. Some historical society libraries have found it necessary to compile card indexes of local family history. As an example, the Penn- sylvania historical society library has a large card index to family histories especially full for the middle states. BIBLIOGRAPHY Boston Public library.

American maps are not so well made as foreign maps. For maps of the United States, however, we must consult an American atlas, while for those of foreign countries the foreign atlases are much better. Even a small library should pos- sess a German or English atlas, and it. is possible to have one, because a good foreign atlas can be bought at a low price. AMERICAN Smith, Benjamin Eli.

They are usually well indexed, and may be easily consulted for spe- cial information on subjects not dealt with fully in the gazetteers and other books of refer- ence. Baedeker's or Murray's series of guide- books are in frequent use for such purpose. The latest edition should be consulted. There should be also in the reference library a guide- book of the city in which the library is located. HISTORY Larned, Josephus Nelson.

PERIODICALS, ESSAYS, DISSERTATIONS INDEXES AND LISTS PERIODICALS Periodicals in a library serve two purposes : first, as current literature of the day, they are a record of the thought of the present, and second, in the form of bound volumes, they are a perma- nent record of the thought of the past. It is in the latter form more particularly that they become a part of the reference collection and are usually kept in the so-called M reference depart- ment " of a general library. A good collection of bound volumes of the well-known periodicals is almost indispensable to a public library. A large reference library will have so far as possible complete sets of all peri- odicals indexed in "Poole." These important reference books contain a vast amount of valuable material on all subjects, much of which cannot be found elsewhere. All of this would be inac- cessible without that most useful key, the Index to periodical literature, originally compiled by W: F: Poole in one volume, afterwards revised and enlarged, and brought down to date by supplementary volumes. The periodicals indexed in this great work do not include technical and scientific journals. In order that the collection of periodicals may be made readily useful, a list, specifying the exact volumes contained in the Library which are indexed in Poole and other indexes, must be kept in a conspicuous place near these indexes.

The second volume includes also articles on political sci- ence, economics, and sociology, making it useful in a general library. A large number of indexes to separate peri- odicals have been compiled. A list of such indexes is contained in the Handbook for readers of the Boston public library (1890), p. 263-311. A longer and more recent list is to be found in Stein's Manuel de bibliographie generale (1897), p. 637-710 (tables generates de periodiques de toutes langues). Many of these special indexes will be found most useful, particularly those to general and technical journals not contained in "Poole." The following may be mentioned as a few examples of special indexes to magazines of value in the average library : American architect and building news. Index. 1876-86.

Other general magazines, such as the Atlantic, Harper's monthly, etc., have published separate indexes. These are important on account of the author entries, which are fuller than in "Poole." They contain, besides, more cross- references, and they index portraits. FRENCH Jordell, D. Repertoire bibliographique des principales revues francaises, 1897-99. v. 1- 3, Q.

The large libraries of the country will have on file the printed card index (authors and sub- jects) to current numbers of 184 technical periodicals. These cards are prepared under the direction of the A. L. A. Publishing Board by cooperating libraries. The indexing was begun in 1898. Some large libraries have also on file special card indexes, such as that of the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, which has issued a card index to its publications since 1899. The list of books in the reading-room of the John Crerar library mentions nine such indexes on file for the use of its readers. TECHNICAL LISTS The following catalogs of technical journals are important : Bolton, Henry Carrington. Catalogue of scientific and technical periodicals, 1665-1895. . . .

NEWSPAPERS Bound volumes of newspapers are kept in almost all general libraries. They constitute a most important record of the history of the day. In some libraries the files are limited to the newspapers of the locality. The large libraries of the United States will, however, contain files of leading New York papers and often of representative papers of the east, west, north, and south, as well as of a London paper such as the Times. Of the newspapers, few have indexes. It is well to remember that the New York Daily 56 NEWSPAPERS. ESSAYS Tribune (yearly, price $1, pap.), the New York Times,and the London Times (quarterly, 10s. 6d.) have indexes, and these will be found to be of the greatest value to libraries having files of these papers. These indexes may be used for other news- papers, the date being the clue to where a subject may be found. AMERICAN Ayer & son, N. W. American newspaper annual, 1902. Q. Phil.

Jfany ofthe books indexed have since been included in the A?T. 'A. index, but there still remains a sufficient number not elsewhere in- dexed to make this volume occasionally useful. Other valuable references to subjects in essays and parts of books will be found in the analytical work of the catalogs of the Peabody institute library, the Brooklyn library, the Boston Athenaeum, and the Cleveland public library. \ The British essayists, 38 vols., a set which includes a collection of the essays of the' im- portant English writers of the 18th century (such as those of the Spectator, the Rambler, etc.), has an index volume which is sometimes found helpful. Wheatley's What is an index ? (Lond. 1878) gives, besides an interesting historical account of indexes, a preliminary list of English indexes published in separate volumes, p. 72-96. The following useful aids may, perhaps, be best included here : Brookings, Walter Du Bois, and Ring- wait, R. C. Briefs for debate on current political, economic, and social topics. 213 p. D. N. Y. Longmans, 1897. $1.25. 028 Its aim is "to state concisely the principal argu- ments pro and con, on a large number of the impor- tant topics of the day," and to refer to books, parts of books, and periodical articles upon each subject.

SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS Reports and transactions of learned societies are essential to the student who would investigate his subject thoroughly, and they often furnish needed information to the general inquirer as well. Every reference library will have a number of these important sets. The student and reference librarian must therefore know their scope and value.

Wheatley's How to form a library (1887), p. 184-216, gives a brief account of the his- tory of many of the literary societies of Eng- land. The English catalogue of books to 1899 con- tains in an appendix to each volume a list of learned societies, printing clubs, and other lit- erary associations, with lists of their publica- tions.

A. committee on public documents to be found in the Library journal. Every library has a larger or smaller collection of the documents of the city, the state, and the nation. To be of use such documents must be carefully classified, cataloged, and placed where they can be readily found, instead of piled up, as is often the case, in out of the way cor- ners where they cannot be consulted when wanted. UNITED STATES PUBLIC DOCU- MENTS A public document is strictly defined to be " all publications printed by order of Congress or by either House thereof," but the term is used to include the departmental as well as the congressional documents. Congress publishes for each session : Congressional record (published daily during the ses- sion) ; Abridgment of Messages of the President and Reports of departments ; Statutes and recent treaties and executive proclamations. Senate publishes for each session: Journal ; Senate documents ; Senate reports. House publishes for each session : Journal ; House documents ; House reports. Before the 54th congress (December, 1895) each House published its journal, executive documents, miscellaneous documents, and re- ports of committees. The departments of the U. S. government are : State, Treasury. War, Navy, Justice, Post- office, Interior, Agriculture, Labor, the District of Columbia, and several independent bureaus and institutions. All of these issue reports separately, and the various subordinate bu- reaus, divisions, etc., of each department also issue their special publications. Publications of the national government ap- pear in two forms : first, the leather (or sheep) bound set (sheep-bound or congressional re- serve), which volumes are commonly known as " congressional documents," including the pub- lications of the Senate and of the House ; sec- ond, the cloth-bound sets, including reports and publications of the several departments and their bureaus. The same document may appear in two or more forms ; e. g. the Annual report of the Commissioner of education ap- pears separately as a publication of the Bureau, then as part of the Report of the Secretary of GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS the Interior, and again as one of the House documents in the series of congressional docu- ments. A "depository" library is one that is desig- nated to receive, store, and keep for use the publications of the U. 8. government. In every large city or town there is usually at least one depository library. Other libraries may not aim to collect all publications of the national government, but no general library however small can afford to be without the reports of some of the important departments and bu- reaus. The government publishes many valu- able documents on subjects of general interest. Each library must select what will be of most use to its readers, and refer to the nearest de- pository library when it has not the needed doc- ument on its shelves. Designated depositories are enumerated in the Report of the Superin- tendent of Documents, issued separately, and also in the Report of the Public Printer. The Catalogue of U. S. public documents, issued monthly, tells how all documents may be obtained. INDEXES AND CATALOGS In order to use the documents to the best advantage, it is necessary to know thoroughly the following indexes and catalogs : U. S. Documents office.

These are issued in different ways in the various states and cities. Small libraries will find use for only a limited number of these reports, and need not collect other than those of their own city and state. Among reports of general interest are those of the departments of education, labor, railroads, fisheries, and agri- culture. An important catalog of state publications has been begun by R: R.

The student of reference work will find the study of bibliography most essential, inasmuch a& bibliographies serve to guide to the best authorities on a subject ; to the best editions of books ; to information as to what has been written by an author, or on a special subject ; to the author of a book when only the title is known ; to what has been published in a certain country ; to* the price of a book ; to the value and collation of rare books, and to much other important information. In a work of this character only .those bibliographies most necessary to the reference librarian are mentioned. For a general history of the subject, consult the article Bibliography by E. F. Taylor in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which gives an excellent account. Bibliography means literally the act or habit of writing books, and is applied to " the science which treats of books, their materials, authors, typography, editions, dates, subjects, classifica- tion, history, etc." Another use of the term is applied to " a classified list of authorities or books on any theme, as a bibliography of political economy." (Century dictionary.) The term bibliography, which is now defined as the science of books, was formerly used to signify the description and deciphering of ancient manuscripts, which science is now known as paleography. De Bure, in his Bibliographic instructive, published in 1763, employed the word in the sense ; in which it has since been used, applying it to printed books. There are two kinds of bibliography : material and intellectual (or literary). Material biblio- graphy embraces a description of a book according to its edition, typography, paging, etc. the external features ; while intellectual bibliography has to do with the contents or internal charac- teristics of the book. The subject is usually divided into the following sections : General (or universal) bibliography, which includes bibliographies whose object is to enumerate 66 BIBLIOGRAPHY the titles of books of every age and country and on all subjects (e. g. Brunet's Manuel du libraire). Special bibliography, which is confined to books on some particular author or subject, and may include all (complete bibliography) or a selection (select bibliography) of the books on that subject or author (e. g. Monroe's Bibliography of education). National bibliography, which gives a record of books printed in a certain country (e. g. Lowndes's Bibliographer's manual). This term is also applied to a list of books about a certain country. Trade bibliography, which includes those bibliographies useful in the purchase of books, as giving trade information (e. g. American catalogue of books). Bibliography of bibliography, which is a list of bibliographies (e. g. Vallee's Bibliographie des bibliographies). Miscellaneous (including anonyms, periodicals, etc.).

It aims to include the rare and precious books of all kinds from the origin of printing. It gives the history of differ- ent editions, distinguishing characteristics of each and their collation, full titles, prices that books have brought at auction, some illustrations, and facsimiles. The arrangement is alphabetical with a classified index, and the supplement includes books not men- tioned in the other volumes. It is probably the most useful book of its kind, although the work of Grasse is considered by some to be more important. Brunet's work contains entries of more books of French writers than Grasse.

The 1896 edition, while not so full, has the advantage of an alphabetical index. ** It has since [its first appearance, 1896] been univer- sally recognized as one of the most useful bibliographi- cal contributions of recent years, and as such indis- pensable to every library. Perhaps the most important result of the book is that it will promote the systematic study of bibliography in connection with university instruction, and it is greatly to the credit of M.

SPECIAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES A special bibliography is a list of books and articles on some particular subject or author, and may include all or a selection of books on that author or subject. Books of this kind are of much assistance in guiding the student to the best authorities. Of special importance are those with annotations, among the best examples of which are the bibliographies published by the American Library Association, selected and annotated by specialists. In many libraries special bibliographies are of such frequent use that indexes of them are made including those which appear as parts of books and in library bulletins. It is well to keep the most commonly used bibliographies near the catalog, to accustom readers to their use. The titles of such books as the library owns may be starred or the call numbers written in the margins. Librarians are frequently called upon to prepare special bibliographies (called reading lists, reference lists, etc.) on topics of general interest. These are often printed in their Bulletins or issued separately. The Monthly bulletin of the Providence public library was for long the best- known of these lists. An index to subject bibliographies in library bulletins to December 31, 1897, has been compiled by Mrs. Alice Newman Nachtmann and published in the State library bulletins of bibliography by the University of the State of New York (lOcts.), while the Bulle- tin of bibliography published by the Boston book company contains in each number a quar- terly index to reference lists published by libraries, compiled by the Providence public library. Many authors prepare careful lists of authorities or references on the subjects of their books, which are often most important in looking up the literature of a subject. The Annual literary index contains a list of the special bibliographies of each year. The Library of Congress has within the past four years issued some special bibliographies which deserve mention, since the publication of these has become one of the features of its Biblio- graphical division. Many of these are on subjects of current interest in connection with the government of this country. Of these the following may be noticed : Alaska and the northwest part of North America, 1588-1898 ; maps in the Library of Con- gress. (1898.) List of books relating to Cuba, with bibliography of maps (1898), which contains also a list of books relating to Hawaii. List of books, with references to periodicals, relating to the theory of colonization, govern- ment of dependencies, protectorates, and related topics. (1900.) 74 BIBLIOGRAPHY List of books and of articles in periodicals relating to interoceanic canal and railway routes, with a bibliography of U. S. public documents relating to interoceanic communication. (1900.) List of books, with references to periodicals, on Porto Rico. (1901.) List of books, with references to periodicals, on the Danish West Indies. (1901.) List of books, with references to periodicals, on Samoa and Guam. (1901.) List of books relating to trusts. (1902.) Bibliographies of special subjects are in this manual included under their subjects with other reference books, e. g. a bibliography of the fine arts will be found with Cyclopedias of the fine arts, as being there most useful. Only a few of the most important and commonly used biblio- graphies have been mentioned, since on account of their great number it was impracticable to name many of them. For further lists of subject bibliographies consult the New York state library bulletin enti- tled Selected subject bibliographies, 1899(5 cts.), which embraces a number of titles arranged by classes; also the lists included in the bibliographies of bibliography, such as those of Stein, Vallee, Petzholdt, etc. For the use of college students and specialists, a list is here given of the most important annual summaries of the literature of special subjects. A large number of such summaries is issued each year, especially in Germany and France. The following list is a selection of those in most general use in a reference library.

CHOICE OF BOOKS 75 CHOICE OF BOOKS Many good manuals have been prepared which give hints on methods and courses of reading. These are often suggestive to persons who wish to pursue some definite line of study or reading, without knowing how to do so. Baldwin's Book-lover, Porter's Books and read- ing, Harrison's Choice of books, Richardson's Choice of books, Carlyle On the choice of books, and Emerson's interesting chapter on Books in his Society and solitude, may be mentioned as suggestive aids in this direction. More recent volumes are Koopman's Mastery of books and Spofford's A book for all readers. Other help- ful aids are the syllabi with bibliographies pub- lished by the University extension society, and some of those published by the University ex- tension department of the University of the State of New York. Among the more extensive guides for the choice of books are : Sonnenschein, William Swan. Best books ; a reader's guide to the choice of the best avail- able books. ... Ed. 2. 1009 p. sq. Q. N. Y. Putnam, 1891. $9. on A classified list, with author and title and subject indexes, of 50,000 of the best books, principally in Eng- lish, although some foreign books are entered. It includes books that are in print; a few out-of-print books are given. The price, size, publisher, and dates of first and last editions are given with a brief char- acterization of some of the books, and bibliographical notes. The very best books on each subject are indi- cated by stars. Reader's guide to contemporary litera- ture. 775 p. sq. Q. Lond. Sonnenschein, 1895. $7.50. on The first supplement to Best books. Contains a large selection of the best contemporary literature, classified and arranged in a manner similar to the preceding volume. Sargant, E. B., and Wishaw, Bernhard. Guide book to books. 344 p. Q. Lond. Frowde, 1891. 5s. o. p. on An alphabetical list of some of the best books, ar- ranged under subjects with occasional brief explana- tory and critical notes. The books are mainly confined to those in English. The price, size, and publisher are mentioned. There is an index of authors at the end of the volume. Perkins, Frederick Beecher.

As aids in the selection of new books may be mentioned: Fifty best books for a village library, issued annually by the New York state library, and Selection from the best books of the year, with notes, by the same in its State library bulletins (10 cts.). CHILDREN'S READING Several guides tochildren's books have been compiled, and many libraries have issued cata- logs of their well-selected collections. In order to make these important lists of use to the in- dividual library, it is well to put opposite the titles in Sargent's Reading for the young (or others) the call numbers of books when they are contained in the library. Field, Mrs. E. M. The child and his book; some account of the history and progress of children's literature in England. 356 p. il. pi. D. Lond.

Some library catalogs are excellent special bibliographies. Such are: Catalogue of the Avery architectural library, Columbia univer- sity, the Catalogue of the books relating to architecture of the Boston public library, the Catalogue of the Spanish library of the Boston public library, etc. THE CARD CATALOG Perhaps it may be worth while to emphasize the importance of using a card catalog. The young student in college or in school should be taught at an early period the general prin- ciples of classification and the arrangement and mode of entry adopted in preparing a card LIBRARY BULLETINS AND PERIODICALS 79 catalog for public use. He should understand how to look up a subject by means of the catalog. The freedom of the shelves which is granted in so many libraries does not enable the student to find all the material on a sub- ject. The catalog can aid him by means of its cross-references, double entries, and analytical references. The resources of the library on any subject cannot be thoroughly exhausted until the catalog, as well as the books on the shelves, has been examined. BULLETINS The bulletin, usually issued monthly, is the best way a library has to keep its readers in- formed of additions to its collection, and to supply to them reading-lists and reference lists as well as other interesting matter relating to books and the library. The expense of print- ing the bulletin has kept many libraries from using it for these purposes. By means of ad- vertisements, however, the expense can be greatly reduced, so that a comparatively large number of libraries now publish bulletins. The bulletin is useful to other libraries, espe- cially if the reference list is one of its features. The Monthly bulletin of the Providence public library was particularly noted for its reference lists so admirably carried out by Mr. W. E. Foster. Other bulletins are : Bulletin of the Salem public library (monthly), which publishes ex- cellent reading-lists on subjects of general interest; those of the Boston public library, the New York public library, the Carnegie library of Pittsburgh, etc. LIBRARY PERIODICALS The two American library periodicals are the Library journal (v. 1, 1876), published monthly, $5 per year, and Public libraries (v. 1, 1896), ten numbers each year, $1 per year. The Library journal is the official organ of the American library association, the full set of volumes since 1876 forming the most valuable source of information relating to libraries. The index volume (v. 1-22) increases its usefulness. Public libraries is devoted especially to the interests of small libraries, and is representative of library interests in the West. The English journals are: the Library, the Library world, the Library association record, and the Library assistant. Foreign journals are the Centralblatt furbib- liothekswesen in Germany, the Rivista delle bibliotheche in Italy. SUGGESTIVE LIST OF 100 REFERENCE BOOKS The selection of the most important reference books for a small library is often difficult to make, depending as it must upon the amount of money available, which often is too limited to buy even the essential works of reference. While the selection depends also upon the character of the library, there are still many books which are necessary to every library. No library, how- ever small and whatever its character, can be complete without a dictionary, an encyclopedia, an atlas, and a biographical dictionary. To assist in selecting for a small public library, a suggestive list of the first one hundred reference books is offered. It must be remembered, as stated before, that these books can often be bought for less than the published price, at auction or second-hand. Many important works of reference are published by the government and can be obtained free, e. g. the Statistical abstract, Census reports, Review of the world's commerce, etc. The titles are t given to a certain extent in the order of usefulness of the books. It is comparatively simple to mention the first ten reference books, but after that the choice becomes more and more difficult, influenced as the librarian must be by the desire to cover as many subjects as possible. The personal esti- mate of a reference book based upon experience and habit will always influence in its selection. Therefore the following list is not claimed to be the best possible, but it may be helpful to some who find difficulty in selecting reference books. Other lists are mentioned in the list of Books and articles upon reference books at the beginning of this volume. American reference books have been preferred to foreign in some cases where the foreign books are better, but it is thought that in American libraries an American book is on the whole more useful where only one book on a subject can be bought. In such cases as the gazetteer and the atlas, the information in foreign works is not sufficiently full in American names. 1. Dictionary (the Standard or Webster's International) $15.00 2. Universal cyclopedia (or Johnson's the new edition is not needed in a small library if the library has the last edition of Johnson's) 63.00 The best of the completed encyclopedias for a small library. The New international encyclopae- dia is the most recent, and should be preferred if a library can wait for its completion. 3. Century atlas (Smith) 12.50 4.

It includes, besides topics referred to in the text, many subjects of general interest to be found in the books of reference mentioned in this manual, such as state seals, state flowers, coats of arms, consuls, election returns, etc. While it is obviously impossible to make a complete analytical index to the contents of reference books, there are still a number of subjects which it is convenient to locate quickly, and which are difficult to find without a thorough knowledge of these books.
