LIBRARY CATALOGUE.

 PREFACE. 
 
 This Catalogue (which is a complete revision of the former 
 Catalogue, published in 1876) has been prepared with reference 
 throughout to the fact that there are two different objects which a 
 Member may have in view when consulting the catalogue of a library. 
 These are, (1) to ascertain whether it contains some particular book, 
 the title and authorship of which he knows more or less perfectly; 
 (2) to ascertain what books it contains bearing upon some particular 
 subject, which he may wish to study. 
 
 With a view to the first object, each book is entered in the 
 Catalogue under two headings, (a) the author’s surname, (6) the first 
 significant word (omitting articles, prepositions, &c.) which occurs in 
 its title. In the case of works in foreign languages, the book is 
 entered under the first significant word both of its original title and 
 of its English equivalent, except in cases where the two are 
 practically identical, e.g. Chain and Chaine. 
 
 With a view to the second object, the books in the library have 
 been grouped together, as far as possible, under the general Subjects 
 to which they relate, these subjects being inserted in their proper 
 places, and printed in heavy type. Under the subject-headings the 
 various works are not generally placed alphabetically, but arranged 
 as far as possible into sub-groups, according to the different parts of 
 the main subject. The full title, date, and other particulars of each 
 book are given under this heading; and the entries under the other 
 headings are cross-referenced to it. This subject-arrangement may 
 also assist a Member who is searching for a particular book; since, 
 if he has an imperfect recollection of the title and author’s name, he 
 will probably be able to identify it, if in the catalogue, on turning to 
 the subject to which it relates. There are, of course, many works 
 which cannot be grouped under any general subject; and these are 
 entered only under the two headings of title and author’s name. On 
 
 a 2

 two subject-headings ; and these will be found under both.
