Synopsis
Excerpt from The Library of George Gordon King, Vol. 1 of 2
The best form of a Catalogue, intended for family use, seemed to be the Dictionary, wherein all the headings are arranged under one and the same alphabet and are bound together by means of references.
In abbreviated or condensed titles, the new rule of librarians as to the sparing use of capital letters has been followed. The original spelling has been preserved. Even as to the Contents. Omissions or interpolations are made evident, at least in the principal. Or author, entry. Authors' full names, the binding of the volumes, the contents, and the notes accompany only the principal entry; but all other particulars follow the title everywhere.
