Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Subject Index of the Modern Works Added to the Library of the British Museum in the Years 1880-1885 The Index is, of course, designed to supplement, not in any way to supersede, the General Catalogue; consequently no personal names will be found among the headings, nor has the heading Bible, which would have been one of the largest and most important entries in the work, been reproduced from the General Catalogue. Novels, Tales, Plays and Poems have also been omitted. A few words of explanation are necessary as to the general system of arrangement which has been followed throughout the work. The headings and subheadings are in strictly alphabetical order; precedence being given under each to the larger or more important works, and all books being as far as possible grouped together according to their language in the following order - English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Spanish and Portuguese. There are, however, some deviations from this system of arrangement: for example, in the history of each country the titles follow each other in chronological sequence, irrespective of language.
