 ALPHABETIC ORDER. 
 
 Books on the shelves are kept alphabeted by authors by mark- 
 ing them with the initial of the author's family name* followed 
 by one or more decimal figures assigned according to a table so 
 constructed that the names whose initials are followed by some of 
 the first letters of the alphabet have the first numbers, and 
 those in which the initials are followed by later letters have later 
 numbers, f 
 
 E. G., Garfield, g18 Gore, g66 
 
 Gerry, g32 Grand, g76 
 
 Gilman, g42 Grote, 91 
 
 Glover, g51 Guizot, g94 
 
 If the books are arranged in the order of these numbers, of 
 course they will be in alphabetical order. 
 
 To use the table : 
 
 1. Find the first few letters of the author's name in the table ; 
 the figures following added to the initial are the mark. 
 
 E. G., for the name Holmes the table gives Holm 73, the mark is h73. 
 Lowell (Ivow 95) has l95, Tenuey (Ten 25), t25. Huxley is h98, Macauley 
 is Mil, Thackeray, t32. 
 
 * In the case of aiithorless books (anonymous works, periodicals, government publications, etc.), tlie 
 alphabetical order is determined by the lieading adopted for cataloging, according to Cutter's rules for a 
 dictionary catalog. In biography, when the Decimal Classification is used, the name of the subject of the 
 Ufe should be used Instead of the name of the author : in the Expansive Classification, the name of subject 
 forms part of the class mark, as Gerry's Life, Eg32. 
 
 t Two sets of tables have been issued : the first with only 2 figures after the initial ; the second, 
 prepared by Miss Kate E. Sanborn, with 3 flgui-es. The two cannot be used together in the same class, be- 
 cause the two figures of the Cutter tables are not the same as the first two of the Cutter-Sanborn. In 
 libraries where the old tables are used for small classes, the new can be used for large classes, like Bio- 
 graphy and Fiction, by a rearrangement. But another three-figure table is preparing, which is an 
 extension of the original two-figure table and can be used with it. 
 
 The figures given in the following examples are from the two-figure tables. 
 
 (3) 
 
In printing a catalog, the printer should be cautioned not to use the old 
 style figures (i, 2, 3, 4, etc.) in which the figure i is thrfisame as the "small 
 capital" letter i. 
 
 2. For names beginning with A, E, I, O, U, and S, I prefer 
 to use the first two letters of the author's name instead of the 
 initial, and for names beginning Sc three letters. 
 
 In this way fewer marks are used for the same amount of distinction. 
 In mj' two-figure tables only one figure is used for A, etc. , the second letter 
 taking the place of a figure. For large classes, a second figure is needed, and 
 I am preparing such a table for use at the Forbes lyibrary. Some persons, 
 however, object to the use of two letters. For such Miss Sanborn has pre- 
 pared a table of the vowels and S with three figures. In the old table, Abbott 
 is ab2, Edwards, ed9, Ives, iv3, Olney, ol6, Upton, up8, Semmes, Se5, 
 Scammon, sca5, Schopenhauer, sch6. 
 
 3. If the first letters of the name do not occur in the table 
 take the letters next previous in the alphabetical order. 
 
 E. g., there is no Dot in the table ; for Dotten, therefore, we take the 
 number of Dos, which gives d74 ; for Pecksniff, the number of Peb ; for 
 Manners, the number of Mam. Some persons prefer to add at once another 
 figure whenever the author-table does not give a figure for any combination ; 
 it prevents trouble later. 
 
 4. If the number found is already in use, annex another 
 decimal. 
 
 E. g., if one using the table wishes to insert Harrison between Harris, 
 h24, and Harsnet, h2.5, a third figure makes Harrison h242, Harrisse h245, 
 Harry h249. If, again, there is a Harrison, Alfred, h242, Harrison, James, 
 may be numbered with a fourth figure, h2424, Harrison, John, h2425, Harri- 
 son, Robert, h2427, and so on. This can be carried to any extent-. 
 
 In making such insertions it is necessary to con.sider in what part of the 
 gap the new name will best go, so as to leave room on one side or the other 
 for future insertions. For instance, between Bal 18 and Bald 19 there may 
 come in all the names beginning with Bala, Balb, Bale. There are nine num- 
 bers, which we might divide thus ; Bala 1-3, Balb 4-6, Bale 7-9. Then 
 Balbi would be b184, and BalboBl85, Balbuena, b186, Balcarres, b187, Balch 
 188. If Balboa should come in, it would go between b185 and b186, i. e., 
 BI8.53. I do not make it b1851, wishing to leave room for another Balbo.' 
 Except in very large classes, like Fiction or Biography, one rarely gets to the 
 fourth figure. But bad judgement in choosing the third figure may hasten 
 the need of adding a fourth. 
 
 Avoid using the number 1 as long as other numbers are vacant, because 
 when it is once used nothing can be in,serted before it ; one cannot' put, for 
 instance, anything between 22 and 221. Zero is not used because it might be 
 mistaken for the letter o of a worK-mark ; otherwise, 220 would come between 
 22 and 221 . It can be used when nothing else will get one out of a difficulty. 
 
 (4) 
 
; 5., , The-figures are to b© considered as decimals, and arranged 
 on the shelf in the order h2, h21, H2ai, h2111, h2112, h22, h23, 
 h233, h24, h3, and so on. ; 
 
 That is, all the numbers beginning with 2 come before a number begin- 
 ning with 3, and ,all the numbers beginn^pg with 21, .before any beginning 
 with 22, and ,all begintT.ing with 221 before any beginning with 222 ; just as 
 in a dictionary all the words beginning with ah come before words beginning 
 with ac, arid all the aca word§ come before the acb words. 
 
 [J^^Somfe persons are apprehensive that this decimal arrange- 
 ment will be hard to use, or at least hard to teach to stupid assist- 
 ants and (when the public are allowed to go to the shelves) to a 
 public unwilling to take the trouble to comprehend. It may be so 
 sometimes ; I can only say that I never had any difficulty with 
 anyone, boy or girl, man or woman, when the arrangement was 
 explained as it is above. But if this is, considered a serious ob- 
 jection to the use of these author-marks, the difficulty can be 
 entirely avoided by using two figures with the initial in all cases, 
 treating them as ordinals, and when two names are to be repre- 
 sented by the same combination, so that subdivision becomes 
 necessary, starting a new series of ordinals either from 1 to 9 or 
 from 11 to 99, by putting a point after the first two figures, e. g., 
 H21.1, or H21.il. The stupidest attendant could not fail to com- 
 prehend the order H34, H34.1, H34.2, H34.3, H34.4, and so on. 
 As it would be awkward to use two decimal points (H34,2.1, 
 H34.2.2), it would be well to use two figures after the decimal 
 point in very large collections, as Fiction and Biography, thus: 
 H34, H34.il, H34.12, H34.13, etc. 
 
 Of course this method does not allow infinite intercalation. 
 A time will come when some new name cannot be inserted in its 
 proper order, because its number is already occupied. But a nota- 
 tion consisting of an initial followed by four characters provides 
 places for so many names that this misfortune will not occur soon 
 or frequently. And when it does occur the approximate alpha- 
 betical arrangement that will here and there result is very much 
 better than no alphabetic order at all. 
 
 . * 
 
 Fui'ther marks : 
 
 6. On the shelves three alphabetical series should be made, 
 O including all-books 25 cm. high or less, Q between 25 and 30, 
 
 (5) 
 
F over 30. These will be indicated by the sign that separates the 
 class mark from the author-and-book mark, • for O and smaller 
 sizes, -|- for Q, || for F. 
 
 In small libraries it is best to make only one series of books under each 
 division ; the few books that are too large for the shelves can be turned down ; 
 very large books can be kept in some separate case. But in a library of size, 
 and especially in a library that has many old books, there are likely to be so 
 many quartos and folios that provision must be made to keep them by them- 
 selves, and yet in juxtaposition with the smaller books of their class. 
 
 It is well always to mark the books for Q and F with these distinctive 
 marks, but these two sizes may often be mixed advantageously in a single 
 alphabet on the shelves, especially where there are only one or two folios 
 with many quartos, or one or two quartos with many folios. They can be 
 separated where there are enough of each class to make it worth while. 
 
 The three size-marks are for marking the catalog and the back of the 
 title-page ; they are not used in lettering the backs of the books ; in a majority 
 of cases the book's size is sufficiently shown to the attendant who puts them 
 up by the fact that a Q book will not go on an O shelf. 
 
 7. In numbering Q and F books a single figure will usuall}^ 
 be enough, because there will usually be few books of those sizes' 
 in any class, and therefore fewer marks are needed to distinguish 
 them ; often the initial alone would be enough in F. 
 
 8. Different books by .The SAME author in the same class 
 are distinguished by work-marks consisting of the first letter or 
 letters of the catch-title after a thin space. 
 
 E. g., Dickens's Chimes, d55c ; Christmas Carol, d55ch ; Cricket on the 
 Hearth, d55cr ; David Copperfield, d55d ; Dombey and Son, d55do. 
 
 9. Other COPIES or other editions are noted by adding 2 or 
 3 or 4, as the case may be, to the work-mark. 
 
 'E.g., another edition of Dombey and Son, d55 do2. 
 
 10. The special mark for TRANSLATIONS, for use in large 
 libraries or in large special collections in a small library., is the 
 initial of the language, a capital letter added (after a size-mark) to 
 the author-mark. • 
 
 * For a discussion of other metliods, see Library Notes, Vol. 3.

E. g. , Goethe's dramatische Werke -055 
 
 " Drama.tic works • g55 • E 
 
 " CEuyres dramatiques • g55 • F 
 
 " ' Faust -055 f 
 
 ' ' Faust, in English • g55 f • E 
 
 11. If there are several translations distinguish them by 
 adding the initial of the translator's name to the language-mark. 
 
 . g., Faust, 
 
 in the original 
 
 
 ■g55 f 
 
 
 " English by Austin 
 
 
 • g55 f • Ea 
 
 
 " " " Bernays 
 
 
 • g55 F • Eb 
 
 
 " Blackie 
 
 
 • g55 F . Ebl 
 
 
 " " " Bowen 
 
 
 • g55 f • Ebo 
 
 
 " Brooks 
 
 
 • g55 f ■ Ebr 
 
 
 " French " Blaze de 
 
 Bury 
 
 • g55 f • Fb 
 
 
 " Italian " Maffei 
 
 
 • g55 f • Im 
 
 These marks are long. But it must be remembered that the need for 
 such marks does not occur at all in a small collection of books, and very rarely 
 in a large one. Morever, if anyone wants to avoid them altogether, he can do 
 so by giving up the exact arrangement of versions, and simply numbering 
 texts and translatians in numerical order as they are received, which is just 
 as well where there is no access to the shelves, and almost as well even where 
 there is, until the number of editions and translations becomes very large, as 
 it would among the classics in a college library, or in- the case of Shakespeare, 
 Goethe, and Dante, in any large general library. 
 
 12. In Biography, which is to be arranged by names of 
 the subjects of the lives, in the Decimal classification distinguish 
 different authors by adding their initials. In the Expansive class- 
 ification Biography is treated like any other class. 
 
 E. g., Chadwick's Defoe In the D.C. 920 D36c In the E.G. Ed36 • C 
 Morey's Defoe In the D.C. 920 D36m In the E.G. Ed36 • M 
 
 Wilson's Defoe In the D.G. 920 D36w In the E.G. Ed36 • W 
 
 13. When, in a large collection, the number of editions of a 
 single work exceeds or is likely to exceed 9, the different editions 
 may be distinguished by adding the year of publication (usually of 
 the first volume, if there are more than one) instead of a number 
 2, 3, or 4. 
 
 E. g., Paradise Lost, ed. of 1667 . m64 p • 1667 
 
 " " reprint of same • m64 p • 1667-2 
 
 " ed. of 1732 • m64 p • 1732 
 
 " ed. of 1754 • m64 p- 1754 
 
 (7) 
 
14. If it is desired to keep a commentary on any work 
 immediately after the work add to the work-mark a capital 'Y and 
 (if necessary) the initial of the commentator. For dictionaries 
 and concordances add "Z. 
 
 E. g., Frehse's Worterbuch zu Renter's sammtlichen Werken would be 
 ■r31-Z; Clarke's Shakspere concordance (in a library which has no special 
 mark for Shakspere) -Shi -ZcS. 
 
 The various marks then are : 
 
 Class 
 
 Size . 
 
 Author 
 
 Work . ■ . 
 
 Copy or Edition 
 
 " " " when very many

 Other copies of translation

 For a fuller explanation, see Cutter's Expansive Classification, pt. 1, pp. 
 139-160. This includes a way to mark a large collection of Greek and I,atin 
 classics, such as would be found in a college library, first published in the 
 Library Journal, 11 : 280-289. See, also, my full scheme for marking Shakes- 
 peare, Dante, Goethe, Moliere, Milton collections, in the expansive classifica-
