Mr. Dewey’s Rules for a card catalogue, printed in No. 2 of the
_Library notes_, pp. 111–124, and reprinted as Columbia catalog rules,
Boston, 1888, and again as Library School rules, Boston, 1889, “except
for the enlargements, differ from the A. L. A. rules,” he says, “only
in the following points:
We enter always under real name, omitting the exception that some
books may go under pseudonyms. [_Not_ Eliot, G., _but_ Lewes or
Cross.] (1e
We follow the rule recommended as best in Cutter’s rules No. 40,
putting under the name of the place local and municipal societies,
_though the corporate name may not begin with that word_. (1s
We give cities in their vernacular form instead of in English. [Wien,
_not_ Vienna.] (2f
We do not capitalize common nouns in German, but follow the rule of
the Library of Congress. [Wahrheit und dichtung.] (5m
We give place and date at the end of the imprint entries instead of
after edition, thus following the L. A. U. K. and Bodleian rules, the
A. L. A. minority report, and the Library of Congress in putting those
most important items in the most prominent place, instead of burying
them back of minor items.
We give edition in English rather than in the language of the title,
[Ed. 2, _not_ 2^e Aufl.] (4c
We use Arabic figures for all numerals, unless Roman are used on the
title after names of rulers and popes.” [Charles 1, Leo 13.] (9b
