Excerpt from Classed Catalogue of Printed Books The collection is necessarily quite general in character, being a library of reference for connoisseurs and art - historians, as well as for practical artists and art-students who have to introduce heraldry into their designs. It is for the sake of the latter classes that references are made in the list to works, on other subjects, which include perhaps only isolated illustrations of good heraldic art.

Excerpt from Early Printed Books: Annotated Catalogue With Introduction and Epilogue Even the bookseller, in his busy day, likes to emulate Henry Bradshaw, who was found one evening sitting in his room at Cambridge with the windows wide open. Some friends were there. All seemed to wait for some thing to happen. In a short while the evening air was filled with a mysterious mellow sound, soft yet strong. Ah, there it is! Said Bradshaw. No one else spoke. It was the muffled peal of St. Mary's bells ringing from the old tower. As this catalogue goes forth we seem to linger in this same manner, still charmed by the spirit of the stately volumes which we have made an effort to describe. We hope, as in Bradshaw's case, that some friends will step into our rooms. The door is open. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On the Classification of Books: A Paper Read Before the American Library Association, May, 1882 The classification is intended to be permanent only so far as the six main classes A E I O U and Y, and their sub-classes a, b, c, d, e, etc., are concerned. In its details it is Open to modification to suit the needs of libraries devoted mainly to the collection of one or a few classes of books. As the volumes multiply on the shelves, it is Obvious that the divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., can be added to indefinitely, - by each librarian for himself - without deranging the system. Moreover, the divisions can themselves be subdivided by supplying arbitrary marks. For example, under Zoology I have made but one subdivision, that of Birds (116 whereas an Academy of Natural Sciences might well find it expedient to distribute their works on the animal kingdom in accordance with the elaborate plan set forth' in Agassiz's Essay on Classification. On the other hand, a small library may content itself with the classes and sub-classes marked by letters only, or even with the classes A E I O U Yalone. It is to he remarked in passing that, by this arrangement, whatever improvements may be made from time to time in the details of the system, the books have always a relative, and not a fixed location on the shelves, so that they may be moved from shelf to shelf, from case to case, and from building to building, without altering the shelf marks. The system is available, not only for the arrangement of books on the shelves, but also for their classification in a subject catalogue. Indeed, the shelf lists them selves form - when properly made - a subject catalogue, which may be sent Off to the printer as soon as there is money enough to pay for setting them Up in type. It is true that most of the ends of a subject catalogue may be gained by the modern dic tionary catalogue - combining authors and subjects in one alphabet - which it is to the credit Of Mr. Poole to have invented, and Of Messrs. Cutter, Noyes, and others to have developed; but, nevertheless, to my mind, the ideal printed catalogue is a classified one, with a cepious alphabetical index. Suppose that the British Museum had such a printed catalogue to-day, how much would the usefulness of that great Institution be enhanced!
