Excerpt from Subject Classification: With Tables, Indexes, Etc., For the Subdivision of Subjects
My best thanks are due to various librarians, and others, who have aided me with suggestions and plied me with unstinted criticism. Without such help the work would be much more incomplete than it is, and I have, therefore, to express my gratitude for the stimulus and aid afforded in so many ways by numerous Specialists in different departments of know' ledge. In particular I owe very warm thanks to Mr. James D. Stewart, of the Islington Public Libraries, who aided in the laborious work of indexing the scheme, and by his practical acquaintance with other systems, and the work of applying strict classification to books, greatly lessened the drudgery Of compilation. I am also indebted to Miss Alice Jones, of the Islington Public Libraries, for carefully reading the proofs. Notifications of errors and omissions will be thankfully received and acknowledged.
