be; absolutely undatable editions should precede dated editions.

245. Arrange translations immediately after the original, prefixing the
name of the language into which they are made; if there are several,
arrange the languages alphabetically.
_Ex._ «Cicero.» De officiis. [Various editions, arranged
chronologically.]
— _Same._ Erkl. von O. Heine. Berlin, 1857. 8º.
— _Eng._ Offices; tr. by C. R. Edmonds. London, 1850. 8º.
— _French._ Les offices; tr. par [G. Dubois]. Paris, 1691. 8º.
If the original is not in the library the translation may be arranged
either by the first words of its own title or by the first words of
the original title prefixed in brackets. The latter order is to be
preferred when most of the other titles are in the original language.
When the list of entries is long a reference should be made from any
title of a translation which is alphabetically much separated from its
original back to the original title under which it is to be found.
_Ex._ «Hofland», _Mrs._ B. (W. H.). [The son of a genius. _French_:]
Ludovico; tr. par Mme. de Montolieu.
«Dudevant.» L’homme de neige.
— _Eng._ The snow man.
[58 titles interposed.]
— The snow man. _See, back_, L’homme de neige.
An original text with a translation is to be arranged as if alone,
but if there are many editions make a reference from among the
translations to the original. If there are translations into two
languages in a volume, arrange by the first, and, if necessary, refer
from the second.
Polyglots precede all other editions.
246. Divide the works _about_ a person when numerous by collecting the
titles of lives into a group.
247. When a writer is voluminous insert the criticisms or notes on or
replies to each work after its title; otherwise give them according to
§ 240, at the end of the article.
248. Arrange analyticals, when there are several for the same article,
chronologically, as being different editions.
_Ex._ «Pretty», F. Prosperous voyage of Sir T. Cavendish. (_In_
«Purchas», S. Pilgrims, v. 1, b. 2. 1625; — «Harris», J. Col., v. 1.
1705; _and_ v. 1. 1764; — «Callander», J. Terra Austr., v. 1. 1768; —
«Hakluyt», R. Col., v. 4. 1811.)
249. If the library has a work both as part of another work and
independently, arrange in the probable order of publication.
_Ex._
«Cutter», C: A. Common sense in libraries. (_In_ «Library» journal,
v. 14. 1889.)
