Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of Books Recommended for Public Libraries: November, 1895 This Catalogue has been prepared for the guidance of Book Committees in the selection and purchase of books for Public Libraries. The departmental headings, viz: - History, Biography, Voyages, Science and Art, General Literature, Poetry, Religious Literature, Fiction, Miscellaneous and Reference Books which have been in use in our Libraries for the past twenty-five years are still continued, but these subjects have been sub-divided and classified under sub-headings; for example, Science and Art has been divided as follows: - I, Natural Science. - 1. Anthropology, Ethnography, Ethnology, Biology, etc. 2. Zoology. (a) Mammalia, Birds, Reptiles, Fishes, etc. (b) Entomology. 3. Botany. 4. Geology and Mineralogy. 5. Natural Phenomena, Meteorology, etc. 6. Astronomy. 7. Chemistry. 8. Physics. II. Useful Arts. - 1. Agriculture, (a) The Farm, Forestry, Manures, etc. (b) Gardening, Fruit, Vegetables, etc. (c) Horses, Breeding, Farming, Riding, etc. (d) Cattle, Sheep and Pigs, (e) The Dairy, Poultry, Pigeons and Bees, (f) Dogs, Rabbits and Domestic Pets. 2. Electric Arts, Steam, etc. 3. Microscope, Telescope, Phonograph, etc. 4. Carpentry, Painting and other Trades. 6. Miscellaneous Science and Manufactures for Young People and Amateurs. 7. General Science, Discoveries, Inventions, etc. III. Fine Arts. - 1. Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Engraving, Heraldry, etc. 2. Music. IV. Domestic Arts. - 1. Physiology, Medicine, Hygiene, etc. 2. Home Life, Domestic Science, Sanitation, etc. 3. Amusements, Sports and. Pastimes, and Physical Culture. V. English Language, Art of Teaching, Etc. - 1. English Language. 2. Art of Teaching, including Kindergarten, etc. 3. International Education Series. 4. Education in Europe, America etc. 5. Universities, etc. As the Catalogue contains over 6,000 volumes representing the principal branches of Literature, Science and Art, it is hoped that this system of classification will also be valuable to Librarians when recommending books, and to students when selecting books for study. Another important feature in the preparation of this Catalogue is the division of so-called Fiction. At the present time there is a great diversity in the methods employed in our Libraries in the classification of Fiction: on inspection it has frequently been found, that books of Adventure, Historical Tales, Religious Literature, Moral Tales, Essays, etc., are classified as Fiction. In our classification we enter Novels only as Fiction. Books of Adventure are classified with Voyages and Travels. Historical Tales with History, etc. As books may now be imported free of duty for Public Libraries, the prices quoted are the Publishers retail prices for cloth bound volumes, (except specially mentioned) and are subject to the regular trade discounts. When ordering books through Booksellers, or Publishers´ Agents in Canada, it is advisable for the Secretary to give instructions that the books are to be passed through the Customs free of duty, and to send with the list of books selected, a Power of Attorney, showing that not more than two copies of any one book is ordered, that the books are not for sale, nor to become the property of any private persons, but are for the sole use of the Public Library. For fuller descriptions of the books in this Catalogue, Book Committees are referred to the Publishers, who will send on application complete Catalogues of their publications. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com
