183. Print publishers’ names, when it is necessary to give them, after the place.
Ex. London, Pickering, 1849; Antwerpen, bi mi Claes die Graue. The publisher’s name must not be mistaken for the place. I have seen a dozen books catalogued as Redfield, 185–. D; Redfield being a New York publisher who had a fancy for making his name the most prominent object in the imprint of his books.
184. If the place or date given at the end of the book differs from that on the title-page, or if place and date are given there only, they should be printed in brackets.
Ex.
Augsb., 1525 [colophon Nuremb., 1526].
Lpz., [col. 1571].
185. In early works the date is sometimes given without the century, as “im vierten Jahre,” i. e., 1604. Of course the century should be supplied in brackets.
186. Masonic dates should be followed by the date in the usual form.
Ex. 5834 [1834]. O.
187. Chronograms should be interpreted and given in Arabic numerals.
