Strana 75 - Author, in the narrower sense, is the person who writes a book ; in a wider sense, it may be applied to him who is the cause of the book's existence, by putting together the writings of several authors (usually called the editor, more properly to be called the collector).
Strana 181 - ... denoting works on many subjects. Reference, partial registry of a book (omitting the imprint) under author, title, subject, or kind, referring to a more full entry under some other heading; occasionally used to denote merely entries without imprints, in which the reference is implied.

French names, preceded by a preposition only, to follow the same rule; those preceded by an article, or by a preposition and an article, to be entered under the initial letter...
Strana 225 - Littell's living age. When a periodical changes its title the whole may be catalogued under the original title, with an explanatory note there and a reference from the new title to the old ; or each part may be catalogued under its own title, with references, " For a continuation, see ," "For the previous volumes, see ."

Strana 41 - Ellesmere. 10th. Using English or some other language instead of the language of the title-page, llth. Cataloguing anonymous works, or works published under initials, under the name of the supposed author. Where this practice is adopted, the books so catalogued can be found only by those who possess the same information as the cataloguer, and uniformity of system is impossible, unless the cataloguer know the author of every work published anonymously or under initials. 12th.
