Yet the convenience of the public must not be sacrificed to brevity.
If, for instance, several authors had used the same pseudonym, the
titles of their respective works should be given in the references
that the reader may know under which of the authors he will find the
work he is in search of, and not have to turn to all three.
«Detlef», Carl, _pseud._ _See_ «Baur, C.» is the usual form of
reference; but it is not enough for Hamilton.
«Hamilton», _pseud._ Essay on a congress of nations. _See_ «Whitman,
G. H.»
«Hamilton», _pseud._ Hamilton. No. 1, _etc._ _See_ «Carey, M.»
Analytical references to treatises of the same author or on the same
subject, contained in different volumes of the same work, may be made
thus:
«Charles», A. O. Reformatory and refuge union. (_In_ «National Assoc.
Prom. Soc. Sci.» Trans., 1860.)—Reformatory legislation. (_In_ Trans.,
1861.)—Punishment and reformation in America. (_In_ Trans., 1863.)
«Comets.» «PEIRCE, B.» Connection of comets with the solar system.
(_In_ «Amer. Assoc.», Proc., v. 2. 1850.)—HUBBARD, J. S. Biela’s
double comet. (_In_ v. 8.)—KIRKWOOD, D. Mean distances of the periodic
comet. (_In_ v. 12. 1859.)
The signs ⟨ ⟩ have been used instead of ( ) in analytical references
to mean “contained in.” They are more conspicuous,—unnecessarily so.

References are frequently printed in smaller type than the rest of the
catalogue. This is well when there are enough not to be overlooked;
but a single reference from one form of a name to another, or from one
subject-name to its synonym, should be in the title type, not in the
note type, _e. g._
«Bell», Acton, _pseud._ _See_ «Bronté», Anne.
«Gardening.» _See_ «Horticulture.»
Similarly notes explaining the practice of the catalogue (§§ 61, 201
no. 5) should be made typographically conspicuous.
