Note 24 — MATTERS TO BE ATTENDED TO IN CATALOGUING.

This plan is advocated in a work I cannot too strongly recommend. It is indispensable to every librarian. The learned author thoroughly studied all the various systems in vogue, and founds almost a code for the cataloguer upon them. It is the:—Smithsonian Report on the construction of catalogues of libraries and their publication by means of separate stereotyped titles, with rules and examples, by Charles C. Jewett, Librarian of the Smithsonian Institution, second edition. Washington, published by the Smithsonian Institution, 1853, 8vo, pp. xii., 96. Since the above was written Mr. Cutter’s Rules have appeared (see p. 11), and should be referred to.
