XXXII. The order of the Headings will be determined by the plan of
the catalogue, whether alphabetical, classed, or chronological.
XXXIII. The Titles are immediately to follow the headings; and within
the divisions and sub-divisions given below, the arrangement is to
be chronological. Editions without date, and those of which the date
cannot be ascertained, even by approximation, are to precede all
those bearing date, or of which the date can be supplied, either
positively or by approximation. The latter are to follow, according
to their date, whether apparent in any part of the book, or supplied.
Editions by the same editor, or such as are expressly stated to
follow a specific text or edition, and editions with the same notes
or commentary, to succeed each other, in their chronological order,
immediately after the entry of that which is, or is considered to be,
the earliest.
XXXIV. Titles, which occur under the name of an author, are to be
arranged in the following order:
(1.) Collections of all the works.
_a._ Those without translations, whether with or without notes,
commentaries, lives, or other critical apparatus.
_b._ Those with translations.
Editions with only one translation. Those with a Latin translation
are to be placed first; next those with an English; and then those
with a translation into any other language, in the alphabetical order
of the English name of such language.
Editions with several translations into different languages.
Those are to be entered first, which have the fewest number of
translations. Among those having the same number of translations, the
alphabetical order of the first of the languages employed is to be
followed.
_c._ Translations without the text. These are to be arranged among
themselves according to the principles laid down for translations
with the text.
(2.) Partial collections, containing two or more works. Those which
contain the greatest number of works are to precede. The arrangement
of the whole is to be, in other respects, according to the principles
laid down for collections of all the works.
(3.) Selections or collected fragments. Those from all the works are
to precede those from several works, and the whole to be arranged
according to the foregoing principles.
(4.) Separate works. These are to succeed each other alphabetically.
Entire portions of a separate work are to follow immediately after
the work itself. The different editions and translations are to be
arranged according to the foregoing principles.
(5.) Entire portions of a separate work, when the work itself does
not occur.
XXXV. Works placed under the names of collective bodies, (according
to Rule XXII,) are, in general, to be arranged in alphabetical order;
but works forming part of a series are not to be separated, although
that series be interrupted, or the title changed; and works published
by branches or subordinate bodies, are to be separately arranged and
placed under sub-headings, which should be printed in a distinctive
type.
XXXVI. Cross-References are to be placed after all other entries
under the heading, and in alphabetical order of the names referred to.
XXXVII. The entries under the word ~Bible~, are to be arranged in the
following order; subject in other respects to the principles laid
down in Rule XXXIV, except that, in each of the following classes,
editions with the text alone are to precede those with commentaries.
(1.) The Old and New Testaments with or without the Apocrypha.
(2.) The Old Testament.
(3.) Detached parts of the Old Testament, in the same order in which
they are arranged in the English authorized version of the Scriptures.
(4.) The New Testament.
(5.) Detached parts of the New Testament.
(6.) Apocryphal books.
