Excerpt from Index to the English Catalogue of Books, Vol. 4: Jan. 1881 to Dec. 1889 IN the case of professional instruments or of a box of tools it is understood that a certain amount of training is needed in order to use them properly. Long experience has led to the formation of certain rules which guide both the maker and the user of the instruments. Catalogues are the instruments or the tools of librarians and booksellers. The making of them is getting to be regarded as a science; but one dare not call it so yet. It may be worth while to indicate the cause of this, or one of the causes. The first duty of a man who makes a catalogue is to consider how it will act, how the consulter will be affected by it. And, in composing a volume which is but one in a series, he has to think of those who have been in the habit of consulting previous volumes. What this means will be appreciated by any one who has occasion to refer to a number of back volumes of the Annual Register. The indexes of some will be found to differ in plan from those of others, to the great perplexity of the consulter.

Excerpt from The English Catalogue of Books, Vol. 4: An Alphabetical List of Works Published in the United Kingdom and of the Principal Works Published in America; With Dates of Publication, Indication of Size, Price, Edition, and Publisher's Name; January 1881 to December 1889 A volume of the English Catalogue being a blending of so many years of the Annual Catalogue into one alphabet, the main thing for the operator is to see that none of the titles of the separate alphabets get astray after they are cut apart, one by one-which is found necessary in order to put the whole into proper order. First of all, two copies of each year's Catalogue are taken. The right-hand pages of one of these are erased with blue pencil. The left hand pages of the other are similarly erased. This gives a perfect copy of the Catalogue, by leaves instead of pages. The next process is to spread gum over the backs of the pages, after they have been trimmed down to the edge of the print with scissors. The months observable in the yearly Catalogues are removed in trimming, as years take their place in the volume of several years. When the gum is dry, each page is cut up into its component lines. These pieces of paper, extremely slender, are found quite long enough to be manageable without the margin which has been removed. The heading of each page is not thrown away, but kept in the heap of slips. The gummed slips of each page are rapidly passed through water in a shallow dish, and laid, one by one, on slips of paper cut to a particular size, and then placed between sheets of blotting paper. It is found that half a quire of blotting paper easily holds the slips of two pages of the Catalogue, ten slips going to each interval. The heading of each page is treated like a title, only it is laid down on an envelope of suitable size. When the slips of two pages have been laid between the blotting paper, they are removed from it. The hour or so which the process has taken has given most of the slips time to dry somewhat.

Excerpt from The Illustrated Catalogue of the Industrial Department, Vol. 4: Foreign Division But there is particular admiration due to the excellent organization and superior artistic capacity of the I. R. Court and State Printing Office, which alone was able to print three volumes of this extension in four weeks and in three languages. The alphabetic index contains all names; but of other references the heading words only. In order to retain the same number for each exhibitor in all the three catalogues, which they have in the English Official Exhibition Catalogue, it was sometimes necessary to deviate from the alphabetic order to which some exhibitors belong, but there is always reference to be found at the proper place.
