Excerpt from A List of Books on Industrial Arts: October, 1903 The length of time required to complete the printing is due in large measure to the frequency with which titles have been repeated under headings near to each other. It may seem advisable to limit such repetition in future, and to rely more upon the index for the additional references which seem desirable. The arrangement of the list is that of sections 607, 686, 701 to 709, 730 to 779, of the classed subject catalogue, but it contains only those titles in 607, 701 to 709, and 750 to 759, which fall within its scope. The order within the smallest subdivisions is chronological, the latest work being given first; but as the headings in most cases cover several subdivisions, the reasons for the arrangement under each heading are generally not apparent. Peculiarities of typographical arrangement have been determined chiefly by the previous use of the same matter on printed catalogue cards, the type for which has been electrotyped. Inconsistencies in the form of entry are due to the fact that'the older titles are not reprinted when a change of form has been made. The most conspicuous change in form has been caused by the adoption of the cataloguing rules formulated by a committee of the American Library Association and followed by the Library of Congress. All titles pre pared since April, 1903, are in accordance with these rules. The index gives in one alphabetical arrangement subjects, titles, and names of persons, institutions, and places.
