Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue or Alphabetical Index of the Astor Library, Vol. 1 of 2 It is to be regretted that it was deemed expedient to print a Catalogue of the Astor Library, before it was known that it would soon be enabled to make large additions to its number of volumes. The noble purpose of the son of its founder had not then been communicated; by his liberality, this collection of books now only begun, will ere long become so considerable, as to entitle it in point of numbers to rank with first class libraries, and in point of absolute completeness to make it in reality a library. It would then have been the time, if such a thing is to be done at all, for printing a catalogue, and it is not unreasonable to predict, that during this now living age, the principal value of the present one will be to mark the proportions between the newborn child and the full grown man. Of tin library as it is, the first volume of the catalogue is here presented, and as its plan differs in some respects from that of most other catalogues, some explanation of it maybe desirable. The plan is that of a Dictionary or alphabetical Index in two parts - the first, of authors and books - the second, of subjects. In the first part the books in the library are entered in strict alphabetical order under the name of the author as found upon the title page, or annexed to the dedication or preface, and if anonymous they are entered by their titles. In the latter case, the word of the title which constitutes its main subject is that under which it is entered, and not as is usual, under that of the first word of the title which is not an article or preposition.
