PREFACE 
 
 This manual is a guide, designed primarily to help library assistants, library school students, 
 college students, teachers, and users of libraries in general, in gaining a knowledge of reference 
 books quickly. 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 and a bibliographical work 
 like the United States catalog and supplement, should by all means be kept where the pubhc 
 can have easy access to them even if it is necessary to duplicate such works. 
 
 This manual will also serve as a guide in the selection of referenco 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 
 departments of the principal libraries of Philadelphia, Boston, New York, St. Louis, and 
 Washington, 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.

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION 
 
 The publication of many important reference books since 1902 made it necessary to revise and 
 enlarge the Guide. The Supplements published in the Library Journal and the A.L.A. Booklist 
 in January of each year have been incorporated with much additional material in the present 
 edition. More foreign reference books have been included, and in some cases the scope of the 
 work has been extended to embrace mention of institutions as well as books which may be consulted 
 by the reference librarian. 
 
 Special attention is called to the Index which has been made as full as practicable in order 
 that the reference books may be more readily used by persons who have had little experience in 
 looking up infoi-mation in them. 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 analytic 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.

 Lane, Miss Nina E. Browne, Mr George Winthrop Lee; to the reference librarians of the Free 
 Library of Philadelphia, Astor Library, Library of Congress, John Crerar Library, and other 
 libraries for their many courtesies.

INTKODUCTION 
 
 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. j. 18 : 254.) Books which come under this classifica- 
 tion 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 formahties. 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.^ 
 
 REFERENCE WORK 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 ''information desk " 
 is now a well-established feature in the large libraries of America.^ 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 sub- 
 jects of general interest. He must be able to send inquirers to the necessary reference 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 catalog, to keep this record near the 
 information desk, writing the questions on cards with references where found, and filing alpha- 
 betically. 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 authorities 
 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

^ INTRODUCTION 
 
 from daily experience, and becomes constantly more technical in character; it can, however, be 
 materially assisted by a systematic study of reference books. Johnson said: ''Knowledge 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 understanding 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 hes 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 abihty to assist readers, wrote, '' In the intervals of library 
 work, I am accustomed to consider the looking up of subjects or authorities as one of my very 
 best recreations. It is as interesting as a game of whist and much more profitable. . . . And 
 this is one of the foremost attractions, let me add, of the librarian's calling; it is more full of intel- 
 lectual variety, of wide-open avenues to knowledge, than any other vocation whatever." A. R. 
 Spofford in his Book for all readers, p. 198. 
 
 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 
 hbrary 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. 
 
 SOURCES OF INFORMATION 
 
 Other institutions besides libraries are engaged in reference work and are important bureaus 
 of information which the reference librarian should know and refer to when the resources of his 
 library have been exhausted. Some of these are in connection with the United States govern- 
 ment at Washington, among which may be mentioned the Bureau of Education which is the 
 chief authority in the country for educational information, the Department of Agriculture, the 
 Surgeon-general's office for medical subjects, the Department of Commerce and Labor and many 
 others. There are other institutions such as the Philadelphia Museums whose specialty is foreign 
 commerce that may be called upon by librarians for aid in looking up subjects. 
 
 A few enterprises of a more commercial nature it is also well to use. An example of this is 
 the Cumulative Reference Library of the H. W. Wilson Company, Minneapolis, which consists of 
 articles clipped from magazines (principally those indexed in the Readers' guide) and theses, 
 pamphlets, etc. Collections on a number of important subjects are rented at a small cost. This 
 is of use in small towns to supplement the collections of the public library when its collection 
 of periodicals is limited. 
 
 INTERLIBRARY LOANS 
 
 Through a system of interlibrary loans books may be borrowed from other libraries for the use 
 of students. The reference librarian must remember this when assisting serious readers. The 
 Library of Congress, for example, lends books " for the convenience of investigators engaged in 
 research " on condition that the book is an unusual one "which it is not the duty of the local 
 library to supply, and that it can at the moment be spared by the Library of Congress, and that 
 the risk and expense of transportation shall be borne by the borrowing library." This custom 
 is also adopted by many large public, state and college libraries. 
 
INTRODUCTION xi 
 
 LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE WORK 
 
 Several of the states have estabhshed in connection with the state hbrary a legislative 
 reference department where members of the legislature can obtain material upon matters which 
 come before them for consideration and action. The legislative reference librarian collects 
 books, newspaper and magazine articles, documents, pamphlets, letters, etc., classifies and 
 indexes these so as to have them ready for immediate consultation. A few cities have adopted 
 the idea by establishing municipal reference departments for the benefit of the mayor and the 
 council. These legislative departments can also be consulted by librarians. 
 
 REFERENCE WORK 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. 
 
 REFERENCE WORK 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 Libraiy Journal. Never- 
 theless it still remains a formidable task for one librarian in a large city to influence several hun- 
 dred 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 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. 4-5) 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 subjects in another 
 reference book. 
 
xii INTRODUCTION 
 
 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 systematic 
 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 often more authoritative, infor- 
 mation. 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 student's list of reference books.

GUIDE TO REFERENCE BOOKS 
 
"Reference books are the clearing-houses of knowledge, fhey 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 comer-stone of every library collec- 
 tion." A. R. Spofford in his 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. j. 3 : 159. 
 
 " It is quite possible for a person of ordinary memory and abihty, by careful study of reference 
 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. j. 20 : C 20. 
 
 "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 his Studies in literature,

 " 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." James Russell Lowell in his Books and 
 libraries.

PERIODICALS, ESSAYS, DEBATES, DISSERTATIONS 
 
 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 permanent record of the thought of the past. It is in the latter form more particu- 
 larly thf>t they become a part of the reference collection and are usually kept in the 
 so-called *' reference department " of a general library. 
 
 A good collection of bound volumes of the well-known periodicals is almost indispt.ii- 
 sable to a public library. A large reference library will have so far as possible compl- "e 
 sets of all periodicals indexed in ** Poole." These important reference books contain a 
 vast amount of valuable material on all subjects, much of which cannot be found else- 
 where. All of this would be inaccessible without that most useful key, the Index to peri- 
 odical 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.

 An alphabetic subject index to more than 107 peri- 
 odicals, including about 70 not in Poole nor the Cumu- 
 lative, of which a large number are English magazines 
 little known except in the largest American libraries. 
 
 A large number of indexes to separate 
 periodicals 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 
 bibhographie g^nerale (1897), p. 637-710 
 (tables g^nerales de p^riodiques 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 
 
PERIODICALS 
 
 9 
 
 examples of special indexes to magazines of 
 value in the average library: 
 
 Forum. Index, v. 1-32. 188S-Feb. 1902. 
 
 Harper's weekly. Index. 1857-87. 
 
 Littell's living age. Index. 1844-96. 
 
 Nation. Analytical index to the political contents. 
 1865-82. 
 
 North American review. Index. 1878. 
 
 Revue des deux mondes. Table g^ndrale. 4v. 
 1831-74, 1874-86. 1886-93, 1893-1900. 
 
 Other general magazines, such as the At- 
 lantic, Harper's monthly, McClure's maga- 
 zine, 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-refer- 
 ences, and they index portraits.

 CARD INDEXES 
 
 The large libraries of the country will 
 have on file the printed card index (authors 
 and subjects) to current numbers of 250 
 technical periodicals. These cards are pre- 
 pared under the direction of the American 
 Library Association Publishing Board by 
 cooperating libraries. The indexing was 
 begun in 1898. 
 
 Some large libraries have also on file spe- 
 cial card indexes, such as that of the U. S. 
 Department of Agriculture, which has issued 
 a card index to its pubhcations since 1899. 
 The list of books in the reading-room of the 
 John Crerar Hbrary mentions nine such in- 
 dexes on file for the use of its readers. 
 
 NE^VSPAPERS 
 
 Bound volumes of newspapers are kept in 
 almost all general libraries. They consti- 
 tute 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 hbraries 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 Tribune (yearly, price $1, pap.), the 
 
NEWSPAPERS 
 
 13 
 
 New York Times, and the London Times 
 (quarterly, 10s. Gd.) 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.

 literature. 2d ed. enl. and brought down 
 to Jan. 1, 1900. Bost. [A.L.A. publishing 
 board] 1901. 679 p. Q. $10. 040 
 
 Refers under the subject to essays, papers, mono-

 cient value, including some reports and publications 
 of boards dealing with sociological affairs. Books in 
 the English language only are included. A list of the 
 books indexed is given at the end of the volume. 
 This list can be checked with call numbers in the 
 library, thus saving time in looking up references by 
 showing what the library has and where it may be 
 found.

 including sets not indexed by Poole, some in foreign 
 languages (as the Revue des deux mondes), and some 
 technical journals. Many of the books indexed have 
 since been included in the A.L.A. index, but there 
 still remains a sufficient number not elsewhere indexed 
 to make this volume occasionally useful.

 "The chief aim of the work is not to give every- 
 thing which appears in a select number of works on 
 a few selected subjects, but rather to cover as many 
 subjects as possible, and give a few references to each 
 one." Preface. 
 
 Contains a chapter on Subject indexes to general 
 literature.

 Essays are indexed under subjects. In order to 
 make the index concise, the compiler refers under 
 subjects to numbers; the volumes representing the 
 numbers are to be found by means of the key in the 
 front of the book.

 " The aim of this work is to provide an index to the 
 more familiar annual books of reference and a few 
 specified standard works." Preface. 
 
 The works indexed are almost entirely British, 
 making this book of use chiefly in large libraries. 
 There is "a list of works of reference," pref. p. 5-17, 
 which includes British year-books, annuals and 
 similar publications. 
 
 Other valuable references to subjects in 
 essays and parts of books will be found in 
 the analytic work of the catalogs of the Pea- 
 body institute Hbrary, the Brooklyn Hbrary, 
 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 some- 
 times found helpful. 
 
 Wheeler's The Spectator, a digest index, 
 published also under the title A concord- 
 ance to " The Spectator " (Lond. Routledge) 
 is also useful. 
 
 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 vol- 
 umes, p. 72-96. 
 
 The index volumes to the following large 
 sets are frequently of use: 
 
 Hart's The American nation (N. Y. Har- 
 per, 1908. 27v.) V. 27 is an analytic index. 
 
ESSAYS, DEBATES, DISSERTATIONS 
 
 15 
 
 Smith's General index to the American 
 statesman series (Bost. Houghton, 1900) 
 is an index of names and a topical index to 
 the contents of that important series of 
 biographies. 
 
 Thwaites's Eariy western travels, 1748- 
 1846 (Cleveland, Clark, 1907. 32v.) The 
 index in v. 31-32 is useful for facts relat- 
 ing to the period of early American settle- 
 ment. 
 
 Williams's The historians' history of the 
 world (N. Y. The History association, 1907. 
 25v.) contains an encyclopaedic index and a 
 bibUographic index in v. 25. 
 
 Wright's History of all nations (Phil. 
 Lea, 1905. 24v.) The index is in v. 24.

SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS 
 
 Reports and transactions of learned societies are essential to the student who would inves- 
 tigate 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. Many of the 
 transactions and proceedings of learned societies are indexed in the indexes to technical 
 periodical literature. 
 
 INDEXES AND CATALOGS 
 
 The following catalogs and lists will be 
 of assistance in finding information about 
 learned societies, and what has been pub- 
 lished by these bodies:

ENCYCLOPEDIAS 
 
 The word Encyclopcedia 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 
 treating of the various topics of one branch of knowledge. 
 
 In Encyclopedias the articles are usually arranged in alphabetic 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 
 Encyclopedias. For fuller information consult the Century dictionary, the New interna- 
 tional encyclopaedia (v. G, p. 711-716) Encyclopaedia Britannica, La grande encyclopedic, 
 Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Larousse's Grand dictionnaire (pref. p. 5-76) and the chapter 
 in Morley's Diderot a-nd the Encyclopaedists (1 : 117-247) 
 
 Before the 16th century many attempts had been made to present in systematic form 
 whatever 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 natu- 
 ralis 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 enter- 
 prises 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. 
 
 The choice of an encyclopedia will depend upon the character of the library. The small 
 library that can afford to spend but little money for reference books must buy the best 
 recent encyclopedia. The Hbrarian should be guided in the selection by the opinion of 
 some experienced reference librarian. The number of general encyclopedias is increasing 
 rapidly, many of them being made up from material contained in similar publications. 
 New editions in which alterations are slight consisting usually of changes made in the 
 electrotype plates appear frequently. The small Hbrary can afford to wait before purchas- 
 ing until the merits of an encyclopedia have been tested. Large reference libraries should 
 contain many encyclopedias, including all of importance. They must exclude those which 
 have no scholarly characteristics but are made only to sell. 
 
 HOW TO USE ENCYCLOPEDIAS 
 
 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 trea- 
 tise on the subject. Whether it should be technical or popular.

ENCYCLOPEDIAS. AMERICAN 
 
 21 
 
 (c) Whether the encyclopedia in hand enters under the general or the specific subject. 
 In the Britannica one would find the smaller subjects treated under the class which includes 
 them; in the New international and others they are usually to be found under their owii 
 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 bibliographic references at the end of the articles and follow up a 
 subject by consulting the best authorities on it. 
 
 (f ) To note whether or not the articles are signed. 
 
 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 encyclope- 
 dias in use at the present time are the 
 following: 
 
 New international encyclopaedia; editors, 
 D. C. Gilman, H. T. Peck, F. M. Colby. 
 N. Y. Dodd, 1907 [c '02-07] 20v. il. pi. por. 
 maps, Q. about $5 per vol. 031 
 
 The edition of 1902-04 was bound in 17 vols. 
 Previous editions now out of date bore the title Inter- 
 national cyclopsEdia, 
 
 Tne New international encyclopaedia is an entirely 
 new work, thoroughly American, in which specific 
 subjects are concisely treated under their names. It 
 includes biographies of living as well as of dead celeb- 
 rities. The illustrations and maps are good. The 
 articles are not signed. This is the best encyclopedia 
 for ready reference. 
 
 New international year book; a com- 
 pendium of the world's progress for 1907. 
 N. Y. Dodd, 1908. v. 1, pi. por. maps, O.* 
 
 031 
 
 The 1907 volume includes brief summaries covering 
 the four years immediately preceding 1907 which 
 accompany the account of the year. The purpose is 
 to supplement the New international cyclopajdia. 
 
 International year book, 1898-1902. N. Y. 
 Dodd [c 1899-1903] 5 v. pi. por. maps, O. 
 $4 per vol. 031 
 
 The 1902 volume contains an index to all the A-olumes. 
 No more published. Still occasionally useful for fuller 
 articles on some topics than are to be found in the New 
 internationa/ encyclopffidia. 
 
 Encyclopedia Americana; a general dic- 
 tionary of the arts and sciences, literature, 
 history, biography, geography, etc. Editor- 
 in-chief F. C. Beach. N. Y. The Americana 
 * Continued annually. 
 
 CO. [c 1903-04] 16v. il. pi. por. maps, Q 
 $6 per vol. 031 
 
 Covers much the same ground as the New inter- 
 national although the two often supplement each other. 
 The Americana is probably fuller on scientific subjects. 
 The articles are signed. The Encyclopedia is not 
 paged. Corrections have been made in later editions. 
 
 Nelson's encyclopaedia; everybody's book 
 of reference. Editors-in-chief Frank Moore 
 Colby, George Sandeman. N. Y. Nelson 
 [c 1905-06] 12v. il. pi. maps, O. $42. 031 
 
 The publishers also offer a " Perpetual loose-leaf 
 edition" ($90) They undertake to furnish to sub- 
 scribers 500 revision sheets which may be inserted 
 between the loose, unpaged leaves of the volumes. 
 These sheets will bring up to date subjects of impor- 
 tance and include such new important events as may 
 occur during the year. 
 
 More concise in its treatment of subjects than the 
 New international and the Encyclopedia Americana. 
 Perhaps it is not so thoroughly American as the others. 
 The illustrations and maps are not so good. 
 
 The English edition is called The Harmsworth 
 encyclopaedia (Lond. Nelson. lOv. 56s.) 
 
 Universal cyclopaedia and atlas; Charles 
 Kendall Adams, editor-in-chief. Rev. and 
 enl. ed. Rossiter Johnson, editor of revi- 
 sion. N. Y. Appleton, 1905. 12v. il. pi. 
 por. maps, O. $G per vol. 031 
 
 Published originally in 1874 under the title John- 
 son's Universal cyclopa>dia and known also as Johnson's 
 cyclopedia. No very considerable revision has been 
 made since the early editions. Slight modifications 
 have been made where they would not affect the use of 
 the old plates. An appendix to each volume gives new 
 articles. Maps and illustrations have been altered. 
 
 Entry is made under specific subjects and articles 
 are signed. Scientific articles are good although now 
 in many cases out of date. Bibliographies appended 
 to each article.

 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. Sometimes quoted 
 as Appleton's cyclopaedia.

 The first series (published yearly 1861-75 with gen- 
 eral index) was called the American annual cyclo- 
 paedia. The second series forms a supplement to the 
 American cyclopaedia. Each volume contains the 
 history of the world for the year, biographic 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 alphabetic indexes to the 
 second and third series will be found in the last volumes 
 of each.

 ^8. 031 
 
 A useful work, very concise in its treatment of 
 events, persons, and places. Convenient chronological 
 outlines of the history of cities and countries will be 
 ifound under their names. 
 
 A later edition (N. Y. Harper, 1906) contains some 
 changes when the plates could be altered without too 
 great cost, but there are not sufficent additions to 
 make this edition necessary in libraries possessing the 
 earlier one.

 most useful in the children's room. 
 
 Later editions contain some revisions and additional 
 matter. 
 
 For the other Champlin cyclopaedias see p. 50, 59. 
 
 An encyclopedia which differs in its treat- 
 ment of subjects and in its arrangement, 
 not so useful for the general public, but of 
 occasional 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. 
 Phil. Iconographic pub. co., 1886-90. 7v. 
 il. pi. maps, Q. $7 per vol. 031 
 
 No more published. 
 
 Contents: 1. Anthropology, ethnology and ethno- 
 graphy; 2. Archaeology, history of culture; 3. 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 alphabetic 
 but classed, related subjects being grouped together, 
 and indexes at the end of each volume refer under 
 the specific subject to the page where information and 
 plates will be found. 
 
 Many encyclopedias published earlier than 
 those here mentioned, while for every-day 
 use now out of date, contain much informa- 
 tion that is occasionally needed. Among 
 these may be mentioned: Brande and Cox's 
 Dictionary of science, literature, and art 
 (1875, 3v.) and Zell's Popular encyclopedia 
 (1875-76, 2v.) 
 
 The People's cyclopedia of universal 
 knowledge (N. Y. Eaton, 1895-96, 6v.) is a 
 small cyclopedia which in its day was useful. 
 In vol. 6 there is an appendix containing 
 much miscellaneous information which wiP 
 still be helpful. 
 
ENGLISH. FRENCH

 ENGLISH 
 
 In England among the earlier encyclope- 
 dias of importance may be mentioned the 
 Lexicon technicum, by Dr John Harris 
 (Lond. 1704) and the Cyclopedia; or, An 
 universal dictionary of arts and sciences, by 
 Ephraim Chambers (Lond. 1728, 2v. foHo) 
 The latter was much superior to other 
 encyclopedias of that day, and is of interest 
 as forming t'he basis of the famous French 
 Encyclopedic. Chambers " may be regarded 
 as the father of Enghsh encyclopaedic 
 lexicography." 
 
 The first edition of the Encyclopaedia Bri- 
 tannica appeared in three quarto volumes 
 (1768-71) and has since gone through ten 
 editions. 
 
 EncyclopaBdia Britannica; a dictionary of 
 arts, sciences, and general literature. 9th ed. 
 Edin. Black, N. Y. Scribner, 1875-88. 24v. 
 and index vol. il. pi. maps, Q. 36. $175. 
 
 032 
 
 This still remains a standard work of reference, 
 although many of the articles are now out of date. 
 The arrangement is under general rather than specific 
 subject, the index volume referring to places in the 
 general alphabet, where a specific subject may be 
 found. The articles are lengthy treatises in most 
 cases, written by authorities, and signed, with val- 
 uable bibliographies referring to sources appended. 
 More useful for the specialist than the general reader. 
 Biographies of living persons are omitted. 
 
 The index volume to the Philadelphia reprint (991 p.) 
 is much fuller than the index to the English edition 
 (499 p.) " By its aid, every name and every topic, 
 treated anywhere in this vast repository of human 
 knowledge, can be traced out and appropriated; while 
 without, the E. B., with all its great merits, must re- 
 main very muCh- in the nature of a sealed book to the 
 reader who stands in need of immediate use and refer- 
 ence." A. R. Spofford in hia Book for all readers. 
 
 Supplement. N.Y. Encyclopaedia Bri- 
 tannica CO., Lond. Black, 1902-03. 11 v. il. 
 pi. por. maps, Q. $65. 032 
 
 These with the 24 volumes of the 9th edition con- 
 stitute the 10th edition of this famous encyclopedia. 
 Of this supplement, vol. 10 is devoted to maps, forming 
 an atlas volume. These maps are, however, the same 
 as those in the Century atlas, the same plates having 
 apparently been used in both works, the chief differ- 
 ence being that in the Britannica volume the maps 
 devoted to Great Britain come first and are more 
 numerous than those in the Century atlas, showing in 
 detail the various sections of the country. The index 
 volume (vol. 11) refers not only to the supplement 
 but to the original work as well. 
 
 The chief purpose of this supplement was to bring 
 up to date the 9th edition of the Britannica but the 
 publishers also planned to make an encyclopedia 
 dealing with recent events which might be used inde- 
 pendently. 
 
 Other supplements to the Britannica have been 
 compiled. These are now superseded by the above. 
 They are the supplement published by Stoddart 
 (N. Y. Stoddart, 1883-89. 4v. $32) and one edited 
 by D. O. Kellogg (Akron, O., Werner, 1900. 5v. 
 $12.50) These supplements contain information on 
 American subjects which were not fully treated in the 
 9th edition. In libraries containing them but not the 
 new supplement they will occasionally be found useful.

 First edition was published in 1860-68. It is a good 
 concise encyclopedia, probably not sufficiently Ameri- 
 can, although the later editions have articles on Ameri- 
 can subjects written by specialists in the United 
 States. Bibliographic references.

 betically arranged like an encyclopedia. Published 
 since 1886. Chiefly concerned with English, colonial 
 and foreign affairs, but including also many genferal 
 topics. 
 
 Among the old Enghsh encyclopedias 
 occasionally 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, 45 v.) 
 
 FRENCH 
 
 In France, during the 18th century, the 
 famous Encyclopedic was conspicuous above 
 all others of the time. This was the work 
 of Diderot and 1^'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 pubUshed in Paris and 
 Neufchatel in 28 vols. 1751-72, and was 
 followed by a supplement in 5 vols. Amster- 
 dam, 1776-77, and an analytical index, 
 Paris, 1780. It was of the greatest influ- 
 ence in spreading revolutionary thought in 
 France. Several editions were pubHshed 
 outside of France, and it served as a model 
 for many other encyclopedias. (For further

 GERMAN 
 
 The German encyclopedias include some 
 of the most voluminous undertakings of the 
 kind. The Allgemeine encyclopiidie der 
 wissenschaften und kiinste, 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 intervals in three sections. 
 Each subject is treated exhaustively, and 
 many valuable contributions by specialisti* 
 make it an important reference work. Its 
 usefulness, however, is limited in this country 
 to a few scholars. 
 
 The " Konversations-lexikons," 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-lexikon of Brockhaus and 
 that of Meyer hold an almost equally 
 important place in reference departments.

 V. 17 is a supplementary volume. 
 
 The 1908 edition is called the Jubilaums ausgabe but 
 is not revised. 
 
 Begun in 1796 by Lobel, it was taken up by Brock- 
 hacus 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." EncyclopcBdia Britannica, article En-

 The articles are not signed. An excellent encyclo-

 Some important encyclopedias in the other 
 continental languages will be found in lange 
 libraries, and are necessary in looking up gull 
 information regarding foreign affairs. Among 
 these may be mentioned:

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 
 Dictionary, 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 
 dictionaries, p. 358-409. An interesting history of English dictionaries is to be found in 
 James A. H. Murray's Evolution of EngHsh lexicography, 1900, 51 p. A bibhography of 
 dictionaries still useful, though not recent, is Triibner's Catalogue of dictionaries and gram- 
 mars of the world (Lond. Triibner, 1882) 
 
 AMERICAN 
 
 During the past fifty years, two dictiona- 
 ries have been published in the United States 
 which hold about equal rank as authorities. 
 The unabridged editions of Worcester's and 
 of Webster's dictionaries have gone through 
 many revisions. Webster's dictionary was 
 for many years considered the authority for 
 derivation and definition of words, while 
 Worcester's was quoted as authority for 
 pronunciation. The International diction- 
 ary, the latest edition of Webster, combines 
 all the advantages of both.

 " The plan includes three things: the construction 
 of a general dictionary of the English language which 
 shall be serviceable for every literary and practical 
 use; a more complete collection of the technical 
 terms of various sciences, arts, trades, and profes- 
 sions than has yet been attempted ; and the addi- 
 tion to the definitions proper of such related encyclo- 
 pedic matter, with pictorial illustrations, as shall 
 constitute a convenient book of general reference."

 which comprise alterations in the plates so as to intro- 
 duce new words.

 A new edition (1901) has 11 p. of addenda, contain- 
 ing 1100 new words. 
 
 It is encyclopedic in character, giving fuller expla- 
 nations of things than is usual in a dictionary, and it 
 contains some words not to be found in other dic- 
 tionaries. Illustrations and plates are good. Appen- 
 dix contains list of proper names of all kinds, with their 
 pronunciations, and other miscellaneous information 
 similar to the appendixes of Webster and Worcester. 
 
 A supplementary volume of maps has been pub- 
 lished, but is not important.

 edition of 1902 contains in a supplement a list of about

 supplement will probably be overlooked by the majority

 Worcester's first dictionary was published in 1830. 
 There is an introduction on the history of English 
 lexicography and a catalog ,of English dictionaries. 
 
 Both Worcester's and Webster's diction- 
 aries 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.

 names. 
 
 Dictionary of foreign quotations, phrases, etc.

 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 dictionaries. 
 
 After Bailey's great work, the next impor- 
 tant dictionary was that by the celebrated 
 author and lexicographer, Dr Samuel John- 
 son, 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 pub- 
 lication of Johnson's Dictionary " formed a 
 greater era than that of any other work. No 
 other dictionary has had so much influence 
 in fixing the external 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 
 appearance of Charles Richardson's New 
 dictionary 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 
 present day, which for practical use have 
 superseded the earlier ones. The most com- 
 prehensive is : 
 
 Murray, James Augustus Henry. New 
 EngHsh dictionary on historical principles. 
 Ox. Clarendon press, 1888-1908. v. 1-7, F. 
 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. 
 
 Vol. 5 to K, V. 6, pt. 1, V. 7, pt. 1, and many sections 
 of other volumes have been published. 
 
 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 quotations 
 from English writers to illustrate the history and use 
 of words. It is a dictionary for the scholar rather thaa 
 for popular use. 
 
 Known also as the Oxford dictionary. 
 
 Other English dictionaries of importance 
 are: Stormonth's Dictionary of the English 
 language (N. Y. Scribner, 1899. S9); Ogil- 
 vie's Imperial dictionary (Lond. Blackie, 
 1882-83. 4v. 5) encyclopedic in character* 
 the Encyclopaedic dictionary (Lond. Cassell, 
 1879-88. 7v. Q. 21s. per vol.) which has 
 been reprinted in America (Phil. Syndicate 
 pub. CO. 1895. 4v. $16) 
 
 SYNONYMS 
 
 Books of synonyms are in constant use to 
 distinguish words of similar meaning, and to 
 assist in obtaining a variety of expression. 
 Of these the best are :

 plained in alphabetical order. New ed. enl. 
 N. Y. Harper, 1892. 856 p. O. $1.25. 424

 ETYMOLOGY 
 
 For the etymology of the English language, 
 the best authority, so far as it has been pub- 
 lished, is Murray's New Enghsh dictionary. 
 A smaller but very useful volume, and the 
 best concise dictionary is : 
 
 Skeat, Walter William. Etymological dic- 
 tionary of the Enghsh language. 2d ed. Ox. 
 Clarendon press, 1893. 844 p. sq. Q. 2 4s.

 - " 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.

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.

 Baldwin, James Mark. Dictionary of phi- 
 losophy and psychology. N. Y. Macmillan, 
 1901-05. 3v. in 4, il. pi. Q. $26. 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 second volume has indexes of Greek, Latin, 
 German, French and Italian terms. 
 
 Volume 3 is a classified bibliography of subjects by 
 Benjamin Rand. It includes references to books and 
 periodical articles. There is no author index. This 
 is the most important bibliography of philosophy and 
 psychology. It is continued by the Psychological index. 
 
 "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."

 the other is adapted for the use of the English-speak-

 always from a Jewish standpoint, de omni scibili; on

 branch of knowledge the civilization of a single 
 race. . . . The chief value of this book ... is to be 
 found in its biographies, its descriptions of the present 
 state of Jews throughout the world, and in its elucida- 
 tions of Talmudic law. On all these points it gives 
 first-hand information of a kind and to an extent not 
 accessible elsewhere." Nation, 73 : 341-342.

 YEAR-BOOKS 
 
 Year-books or annuals which give statis- 
 tical 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 sec- 
 tions of a reference 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 statis- 
 tical facts about our own country which 
 cannot be found so completely given in the 
 English publication, e. g. election returns of 
 the various states, etc. 
 
 Annuals of special subjects are described 
 under their respective headings, e. g. an art 
 annual under Fine arts, etc. 
 
 AMERICAN

 useful are the newspaper almanacs, of which 
 the following are the best:

 1908. D.* 25 cts. pap. 317.3

 includes foreign and miscellaneous statistics not to be 
 found in the Tribune almanac. In constant use in a 
 reference department. Every reference librarian must 
 know its contents thoroughly. Index in front. There 
 is also an index to subjects contained in former vol- 
 umes of the almanac which are not included in the 
 latest volumes. 
 
 Tribune almanac and register for 1908. 
 N. Y. 1908, D.* 25 cts. pap. 317.3

 tistics, election returns, laws, and other political infor- 
 mation. Index at end.

 cts.) is also to be recommended.

 some paper published in its own city, to give 
 names of local and state officials and other 
 information of the locahty.

 perance, and reform movements, with bibliographies of 
 all these subjects. A directory of societies (including

 SPECIAL SUBJECTS 
 
 Vol. 1 is a dictionary of costume, giving in alpha- 
 betic order concise definitions of terms used in describ- 
 ing dress, with copious illustrations; vol. 2 gives a his- 
 tory of costume in Europe. 
 
 Besides many general books on costume, 
 such as Racinet's Le costume historique 
 illustrated biographies and histories of vari- 
 ous 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. Com- 
 paratively few good scientific dictionaries 
 exist. Many old cyclopedias are frequently 
 found useful; among these are: Tomlinson's 
 Cyclopaedia of useful arts, mechanical and 
 chemical, manufactures, mining, and engi- 
 neering (Lond. Virtue, 1868. 3v.), and Ure's 
 Dictionary of arts, manufactures, and mines 
 (N. Y. 1857-62. 2v.).

 ANTHOLOGIES AND QUO- 
 TATIONS 
 
 Anthologies and books of quotations are 
 very numerous. Even a small library must 
 have several in order to answer many ques- 
 tions as to authorship of passages. They are 
 also of service in finding passages illustrating 
 special subjects, in verifying a quotation as 
 regards its accuracy and as regards its exact 
 place in an author's work.

 FICTION 
 
 The following guides to fiction are helpful 
 in assisting the reader who wishes to pursue 
 a course of reading in historical fiction, or 
 who desires a novel illustrating some special 
 subject, e. g. strikes, spiritualism, etc. 
 
 The Chronological index to historical fic- 
 tion published by the Boston public library 
 (2d ed, 1875) included the titles of prose 
 fiction, plays, and poems arranged chrono- 
 logically under countries. This edition has 
 been for some time out of print, but a third 
 edition appeared in the Bulletin of the 
 library from January, 1892, to January, 1896. 
 Some explanatory notes are given.

 Bulletins, Oct. 1885-89, contains lists ar- 
 ranged by countries and states with chrono- 
 logical sub-arrangement. In its Class list, 
 no. 1, English prose fiction (1897) the St. 
 Louis public library gives a list of the best 
 fiction and a list of historical novels.

 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, nota- 
 bly those of the Milwaukee public library 
 and the Library of the Peabody 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 
 authors 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 
 alphabetic list of single plays, including 
 those in foreign languages as well as in 
 English. This is continued in the Supple- 
 ment. 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. 
 
 The Catalogue of the dramas and dramatic 
 poems contained in the Cincinnati public 
 library (192 p. Q. 1879) is an extensive list, 
 arranged under authors with title lists of 
 English, French, German, Greek, and Latin 
 dramas.

 BIOGRAPHY 
 
 Dictionaries of biography are of three 
 kinds: (1) general, (2) national, (3) of special 
 classes. Consult first the national biographic 
 dictionary in looking up a sketch of the life 
 of a person. The articles are likely to be 
 fuller, and more names are usually included 
 in it. There are national biographic dic- 
 tionaries 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 Encyclopajdia Britan- 
 nica does not include names of hving per- 
 sons. The biographic articles in the Now 
 international encydopsedia are good and in- 
 clude contemporaries. Larousse is especially 
 useful for Europeans. Webster's Inter- 
 national dictionary contains in an appendix 
 10000 names, giving merely full name, dates, 
 and characterization. 
 
 In addition to biographic reference books, 
 those cyclopedias of special subjects which 
 
 include 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, Champhn and Apthorp's Cyclope- 
 dia of music and musicians, and Grove's 
 Dictionary of music; for theologians, Smith's 
 Dictionary of the Bible, and McClintock and 
 Strong's Encyclopaedia of biblical, theologi- 
 cal, and ecclesiastical hterature, etc. 
 
 The article on biographic 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 
 dictionaries.

 The best general biographic reference book. It 
 gives the pronunciation of names, sketch'es of lives of 
 persons, and bibliographic references. A list of the 
 leading English Christian names, with their equiva- 
 lents in the various European languages, is given in an 
 appendix. 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. Full-page portraits have 
 been introduced.

 the dates of their birth and death, and the titles of 
 their respective works, without any of that informa- 
 tion respecting the contents or subjects of their writ- 
 ings which adds so much value to the articles in the 
 Biographie universelle. . . . Nor are these lists so full, 
 or compiled with such accuracy, as those in the Bio- 
 graphie universelle. In one point, however, and that 
 of no small importance, the bibliographical information 
 of the Biographie generale is superior to that of its

 Contains biographic sketches of prominent Amer- 
 icans, and is devoted mainly to the lives of those who 
 are of the present time. Names of individuals are to 
 some extent grouped with reference to their work, 
 but they do not necessarily follow in any special order. 
 Numerous portraits and plates are an important 
 feature. Of special use for less known Americans. 
 Index in each volume, but it is easier to find an article 
 by cgnsulting the Conspectus.

 of special value to the reference librarian. It con- 
 tains lists of men in public or private office grouped 
 under such heads as: presidents of the U. S., cabinet 
 officers, governors of states, presidents of American 
 universities, presidents of learned societies, Mayflower 
 passengers, editors of magazines, etc. Besides these 
 may be found lists of pseudonyms, and sobriquets, 
 last words of famous Americans, anniversary calendar 
 of noted events, etc. etc.

 Alphabetically arranged. Comparing with Apple-

 a nearer approach to democratic equality. Presidents 
 and the like are handled less extensively, men and

 Published biennially. Condensed sketches of the

 earlier volumes useful. 
 
 The volume for 1908-09 contains 16395 names and 
 sketches, also a geographic index which "groups by 
 states, cities and post office addresses all the names in 
 the book, making it easy to find quickly the names for 
 any particular locality or place."

 An excellent one volume summary of the 66 vols, 
 of the great Dictionary. This can be bought separately 
 and is worth having in those libraries which cannot 
 afford the large work. The Index and epitome gives 
 concise biographies of all the persons included in the 
 Dictionary and refers to the volume and page where the 
 full article will be found. 
 
 A new cheaper edition of the Dictionary is being 
 published in 22 vols, instead of 66 (N. Y. Macmillan, 
 1908. $4.25 per vol. sold in sets only) The paper is 
 thinner, making it possible to put three vols, of the old 
 edition into one of the new. Some corrections and 
 revisions have been made in the new edition.

 DIRECTORIES 
 
 The city directory is in constant demand 
 and should therefore be in the most con- 
 venient place in the library. In a iarge city 
 it is important to include the business direc- 
 tory 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 addition directories 
 of the large cities of this country. Volumes 
 of past years are frequently consulted. 
 
 Telephone directories are also to be con- 
 sulted for addresses. Those of large cities 
 especially New York are important. 
 
 Various directories of special classes of per- 
 sons and for the trades pubhshed annually 
 in England and America are also necessary 
 to a large reference collection. Among these 
 are: 
 
 American: American medical directory, 
 Polk's medical register and directory of the 
 United States and Canada, Martindale's 
 American law directory, Textile manufac- 
 turers' directory and year book. Banker's 
 register, Sharp and AUeman Co.'s lawyers' 
 and bankers' directory, Architects' directory, 
 etc. 
 
 English: Whitaker's naval and military 
 directory and Indian army list, Colonial office 
 list. Foreign office list. Hart's army list, Navy 
 list. Official army list, Civil service directory, 
 etc. 
 
 A good hst of trade directories will be 
 found in the John Crerar library's List of 
 cyclopedias and dictionaries (see p. 5-6). 
 
 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 readers can be referred to them. The 
 books mentioned here are among the best 
 guides to the innumerable sources of infor- 
 mation for family histories. Some historical 
 society libraries have found it necessary to 
 compile card indexes of local family history. 
 As an example, the Pennsylvania historical 
 society library has a large card index to 
 family histories especially full for the middle 
 states.

 " I have gone little further than an attempt to trace 
 back our names to their original forms, to clear them 
 from the incrustations of time, and to place each, 
 however misleading in appearance to-day, in its own 
 particular class." Introduction. 
 
 "Will always remain a monument of industry and 
 good judgment. He has not only brought together a 
 mass of material and placed it within convenient reach 
 of the student, but his discussion of it is in the main 
 very trustworthy. There must, in the nature of the 
 case, be plenty of doubtful matter in such a volume."

 Bibliographies of individuals are too nu- 
 merous to be given here. Among examples 
 may be mentioned the sections of the British 
 museum catalogue relating to individuals, 
 e. g. Shakespeare, Dante, etc. The Dante 
 catalogue of the Cornell university library 
 is an elaborate bibliography published in two 
 quarto volumes. 
 
 A series of bibliographies published by 
 Houghton, Mifilin & Co. includes thus far 
 the following useful volumes: Bibliography 
 of Nathaniel Hawthorne, by Nina E. 
 Browne (1905), of James Russell Lowell, by 
 George W. Cooke (1906), of Oliver Wendell 
 Holmes, by George B. Ives (1907), and of 
 Ralph ^Valdo Emerson, by George W. 
 Cooke (1908) 
 
 The bibliographies appended to the vol- 
 umes of the Great writers series are excellent 
 for the authors included.

 ATLASES 
 
 The best atlases are German. 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 covuitries the foreign atlases 
 are much better. Even a small library 
 should possess a German or English atlas, 
 and it is possible to have one, because a 
 good foreign atlas can be bought at a low 
 price.

 GUIDE-BOOKS 
 
 The small volumes so well known to all 
 travellers as " Guide-Books " are of much 
 assistance in a reference library. They are 
 usually well indexed, and may be easily 
 consulted for special information on subjects 
 not dealt with fully in the gazetteers and 
 other books of reference. 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 hbrary a guide-book of the 
 city in which the library is located.

 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.

 GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS 
 
 Before the 54th congress (December, 1895) 
 each House published its journal, executive 
 documents, miscellaneous documents, and re- 
 ports of committees. 
 
 The departments of the United States gov- 
 ernment are: State, Treasury, War, Navy, 
 Justice, Post-office, Interior, Agriculture, 
 Commerce and Labor, the District of Colum- 
 bia, and several independent bureaus and 
 institutions. All of these issue reports sepa- 
 rately, and the various subordinate bureaus, 
 divisions, etc., of each department also issue 
 their special publications. 
 
 Publications of the national government 
 appear in two forms: first, the leather (or 
 sheep) bound set (sheep-bound or congres- 
 sional reserve), which volumes are commonly 
 known as " congressional documents," in- 
 cluding the pubhcations of the Senate and of 
 the House; second, the cloth-bound sets, in- 
 cluding reports and publications of the sev- 
 eral departments and their bureaus. The 
 same document may appear in two or more 
 forms; e.g. the Annual report of the Commis- 
 sioner of education appears separately as a 
 publication of the Bureau, then as part of 
 the Report of the Secretary of the Interior, 
 and again as one of the House documents in 
 the series of congressional documents. 
 
 A "depository" library is one that is desig- 
 nated to receive, store, and keep for use the 
 pubhcations of the United States 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 bureaus. The government pubhshes 
 many valuable documents on subjects of 
 general interest. Each library must select 
 what will be of most use to its readers, and 
 refer to the nearest depository library when 
 it has not the needed document on its shelves. 
 Designated depositories are enumerated in 
 the Report of the Superintendent of Docu- 
 ments, issued separately, and also in the Re- 
 port of the Public Printer. 
 
 The Monthly catalogue United States pub- 
 lic documents states on the back of the cover 
 how the various documents may be obtained.

 STATE AND CITY DOCU- 
 MENTS 
 
 Large libraries must have the reports of 
 the departments of their state and municipal 
 governments. These are issued in different 
 ways in the various states and cities. Small 
 libraries will find use for only a limited num- 
 ber 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, rail- 
 roads, fisheries, and agriculture;

 tive committees, and special commissions of the states, 
 and with governors' messages for the period since 1789 
 to 1904 inclusive. Each volume is divided into two 
 parts: 1st, general sources of information and descrip- 
 tive material; 2d, topical analysis. The volumes for

 The student of reference work will find the study of bibliography most essential, inasmuch 
 as 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, 
 classification, 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 
 bibliography embraces a description of a book according to its edition, typography, paging, 
 
 99 
 
100 
 
 BIBLIOGRAPHY 
 
 etc. the external features; while intellectual bibliography has to do with the contents or 
 
 internal characteristics of the book. 
 
 The subject is usually divided into the following sections: 
 
 General (or universal) bibhography, which includes bibliographies whose object is to 
 enumerate the titles of books of every age and country and on all subjects (e. g. 
 Brunet's Manuel du libraire) 
 
 Special bibliography, or subject bibliography, which is confined to books on some particu- 
 lar 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 catalog of books) 
 
 Bibliography of bibliography, which is a list of bibliographies (e. g. Vallee's Bibliographic 
 des bibliographies)

 V. 6 of the Manuel is a " table mdthodique." Brunet's 
 work is especially valuable for the bibliographic details 
 of the books mentioned. It aims to include the rare 
 and precious books of all kinds from the origin of print- 
 ing. It gives the history of different editions, distin- 
 guishing characteristics of each and their collation, full 
 titles, prices that books have brought at auction, 
 some illustrations, and facsimiles. The arrangement 
 is alphabetic with a classified index, and the sup- 
 plement includes books not mentioned 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.

 been made limited to the most useful works. 
 An excellent account of trade bibliography 
 and how to find information contained in it 
 will be found in Growoll's The bookseller's 
 library and how to use it, which should be 
 carefully studied by librarians.

 title, publisher, place of publication, date, 
 edition, size or price of books " may be found

 included the full-title record with annotations from the 
 Publishers' weekry, and an index under authors, titles, 
 subjects and series. From 1900-1903 the Annual bore 
 the title Annual American catalog, cumulated, and con- 
 sisted of only the short-title lists in one alphabet, cumu- 
 lating throughout the three years. No .\nnual was 
 published in 1904 as the five-yearly volume of the Amer- 
 ican catalog 1900-1904 contains the same entries. The 
 Annuals for 1905 and 1906 consisted of three short-title 
 lists in one alphabet, and the full-title record with anno- 
 tations, in one alphabet. There was no Annual for 
 1907, the American catalog, 1905-1907 containing the

 SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES 
 
 Subject bibliographies 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 subject bibliographies are of such frequent use that indexes of 
 them are made including those which appear as parts of books and in Hbrary 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. 
 
 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 library 
 index contains a list of the special bibliographies of each year. 
 
 Bibliographies of special subjects are in this manual included under their subjects with 
 other reference books, e. g. a bibliography of the ilne 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 
 bibhographies have been mentioned, since on account of their great number it was impractica- 
 ble to name many of them. 
 
 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. See page 117 for lists of bibhographies pubhshed in library bulletins. 
 
 The Library of Congress has since 1898 published many valuable subject bibliographies on 
 topics of current interest in connection with the government of this country. These are issued 
 through its Bibliographical Division and may be obtained free. Many of these lists will be 
 found useful in college and school libraries for furnishing references for debates. 
 
 ANNUAL SUMMARIES 
 
 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. Additional titles will be found in Stein's Manuel de 
 bibliographic g^n^rale and in Langlois's Manuel de bibliographic historique, 1901, p. 170-201.

 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, 
 Valine, Petzholdt, etc. 
 
 CHOICE OF BOOKS 
 
 Man.y good manuals have been prepared 
 which give hints on methods and courses of 
 reading. These are often suggestive to per- 
 sons 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 reading, 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 Koop- 
 man's Mastery of books and Spofford's A 
 book for all readers. Other helpful aids are 
 the syllabi with bibliographies published by 
 the University extension society, and some 
 of those published by the University exten- 
 sion 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 
 available books. 2d ed. N. Y. Ptitnam, 
 1891. 1009 p. sq. Q. $9. on 
 
 A classified list, with author and ti^ and subject 
 indexes, of 50000 of the best books, priiroipally 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 characterization 
 of some of the books, and bibliographic notes. The 
 very best books on each subject are indicated by stars. 
 
 Reader's guide to contemporary litera- 
 ture. Lond. Sonnenschein, 1895. 775 p. 
 sq. Q. $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 pre- 
 ceding volume. 
 
 A. L. A. Catalog, 8000 volumes for a 
 popular library with notes, 1904; prepared 
 by the New York state hbrary and the 
 Library of Congress, under the auspices of 
 the American library association publishing 
 board. Editor Melvil Dewey. Wash. Gov- 
 ernment printing office, 1904. O. $1 pap. oig 
 
 To be obtained from the Superintendent of Docu- 
 ments, Washington, D. C. Pt. 1, classed; pt. 2, 
 dictionary. 
 
 Useful in a librai!ry for many purposes, among them 
 
 (a) as a guide in selecting books on any subject because 
 the selection was made by many experienced librarians, 
 and because the annotations are in some cases helpful; 
 
 (b) as an aid in ordering because the publisher's name 
 and price are given and because care was exercised in 
 the selection of editions; (c) in classifying books; (d) in 
 the selection of subject headings; (e) in ordering printed 
 catalog cards from the Library of Congress, because the 
 serial numbers are given. 
 
 A previous A. L. A. Catalog was published in 1893, 
 entitled Catalog of "A. L. A. Library," 5000 volumes 
 for a popular library (Wash. Government printing oflice)

 CHILDREN'S READING 
 
 Several guides to children's books have 
 been compiled, and many libraries have 
 issued catalogs of their well-selected collec- 
 tions. In order to make these important

 bers of books when they are contained in the 
 library.

 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. 
 
 BULLETINS 
 
 The Bulletin, usually issued monthly, is 
 the best way a library has to keep its readers 
 informed 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 printing the bulletin has kept 
 many libraries from using it for these pur- 
 poses. By means of advertisements, how- 
 ever, the expense can be greatly reduced, so 
 that a comparatively large number of libra- 
 ries now publish bulletins. The bulletin is 
 useful to other libraries, especially if the refer- 
 ence list is one of its features. The Monthly 
 bulletin of the Providence public hbrary 
 was particularly noted for its reference Hsts 
 so admirably carried out by Mr W. E. Foster. 
 Other bulletins are: Bulletin of the Salem 
 pubHc Hbrary (monthly), which pubhshes 
 excellent reading-lists on subjects of general 
 interest; those of the Boston pubhc Hbrary, 
 the New York public library, the Carnegie 
 library of Pittsburg, etc.

 THE CARD CATALOG 
 Perhaps it may be worth while to empha- 
 size the importance of using a card catalog. 
 The young student in college or in school 
 should be taught at an early period the 
 general principles of classification and the 
 arrangement and mode of entry adopted in 
 preparing a card 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 libra- 
 ries does not enable the student to find all 
 the material on a subject. The catalog can 
 aid him by means of its cross-references, 
 double entries, and analytic references. 
 The resources of the library on any subject 
 cannot be thoroughly exhausted until the 
 catalog, as well as the books on the shelves, 
 b^ss been examined. 
 
SUGGESTIVE LIST OF 100 EEFEEENCE BOOKS 
 
 The selection of the most important reference books for a small library is often difficult to Diake, 
 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, however small and 
 whatever its character, can be complete without a dictionary, an encyclopedia, an atlas, and a bio- 
 graphic 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 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 estimate 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 begin- 
 ning 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 use- 
 ful 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.

INDEX 
 
 The index lias been made as full as practicable in order tliat the reference books may be more readily used by 
 persons who have had little experience in looking up information in them. 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 analytic index to the contents of reference books, there are 
 still a number of subjects which it is convenient to locate quickly, and which are diificult to find without a thor- 
 ough knowledge of these books. ^
