APPENDIX VII. SOME WORKS OF REFERENCE.
I have set down here chiefly those works which I find to be of constant use in cataloguing. One occasionally needs many more, even for a short investigation. A complete and systematic view of bibliographical literature is given in Petzholdt’s “Bibliotheca bibliographica. Leipzig, 1866,” and many of the more modern works may be found in Vallée’s Bibliographie des bibliographies, Paris, 1883, and supplement, 1887. Powers’ “Handy-book about books. London, 1870,” contains a useful list, which is reprinted, with additions, in Sabin’s “American bibliopolist.” C: H. Hull’s “Help’s for cataloguers in finding full names” in the Library journal, Jan., 1889, gives an excellent classified list with descriptive notes. {129}
