A Subject Index Of The Modern Works Added To The Library Of The British Museum In The Years 1885 1890 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Subject Index of the Modern Works Added to the Library of the British Museum in the Years 1885-1890 Is the year 1886, a Subject Index of the Accessions of recently-published books added to the Library of the British Museum between January, 1880, and August, 1885, was issued. The present volume continues the work from September, 1885, to January, 1891, and contains an Index of the books published during the last ten years which have been added to the Library during the years 1886, 1887, 1888, and 1889, together with the greater part of those received in 1885 and 1890. Works in the Slavonic, Hungarian, Celtic and Oriental languages are not included in either volume. The primary object of the Index is to assist readers in their researches in the Library of the British Museum; it has not therefore been considered necessary to reproduce such portions of the General Catalogue of Printed Books as are of the nature of a Class Catalogue. Thus, the heading Bible will not be found in the present Index, although a considerable proportion of the Biblical literature of the last five years has been included, under such headings as Christianity, Church History, J ews, etc. For the same reason no personal names have been taken as subject headings, and the heading Biography has been used only for collected biographies, although such individual biographies as serve to illustrate History, Art, or Science have been frequently included, and will be found through out the work under various subject headings. Novels, poems, plays, and miscellaneous essays are also omitted, and only critical or historical works and selections will be found under such headings as Drama, Fiction, Hymns and Poetry. It should also be noted that when several editions of a book have been published during the period included in the present series, reference has been made only to the latest edition.

Excerpt from A Subject Index of the Modern Works Added to the Library of the British Museum in the Years 1891-1895 The first Subject Index of Modern Works added to the Library of the British Museum was published in 1886. It contained an Index of the books published in and after the year 1880 which had been acquired between January 1880 and August 1885. The second volume, issued in 1891, continued the work from September 1885 to the end of December 1890, while the present volume carries on the Index from January 1891 to the end of December 1895. The system of arrangement adopted in this volume follows as closely as possible that of the second Index, but as the latter will not necessarily be in the hands of those who may use the present work, it may be desirable to repeat here, almost verbatim, the explanations previously given.
