Some years ago I prepared a Manual of Library Cataloguing, whichmet with more acceptance than was expected, and has been out of printfor some time. Upon considering requests for a new edition, I concludedthat a book upon somewhat different lines would be more likely to meetthe present requirements of librarians and library assistants—thisvolume is the result.
No pretence is made that the work is exhaustive or complete, but it ishoped that it will serve as a practical and useful introduction to theseveral codes of cataloguing rules. The statements made in it are notmeant to be dogmatic, but they indicate the lines upon which good andaccurate work is to be accomplished. As the illustrative examples werechosen from every-day books, and are worked out as simply as possible,they should be found useful by beginners; especially in preparing forthe examinations of the Library Association in this subject.
I am indebted to my friend Mr. Frank Pacy, City Librarian ofWestminster, for reading my proofs and suggesting many improvements,although I am sure he would not care to accept responsibility for allthe views expressed or the mode of expressing them.
