Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abbreviations and Technical Terms Used in Book Catalogs and in Bibliographies: Book Catalogs and in Bibliographies This list was begun as an expansion of Miss Mary Medlicott's Abbreviations in Book Catalogues which was issued in 1906 by the Boston Book Company as Bulletin of Bibliography, pamphlet No. 15. It has so far outgrown the limits of the original list as to have become a quite independent production. Special thanks, however, for the original plan and for much of the subject matter of the present list are due to Miss Medlicott's list and to a manuscript List of bibliographical terms and abbreviations compiled in 1906, under the direction of Mr. E. C. Williams, by Miss Eliza Townsend for the use of the Western Reserve Library School. Originality can hardly be claimed for any work so obviously dependent on previous similar attempts nor, although longer than most previous attempts, can any claim to more than approximate completeness be made for this list. Perhaps the chief point of difference from other lists is the greater attention paid to terms and abbreviations frequently used in current catalogues of second-hand booksellers but which, as they describe peculiarities of individual copies, are seldom found in more formal bibliographies. Arbitrary symbols used only in particular works are usually explained in the works themselves and are therefore seldom included here.
