42. The prefixes Mr., Mc, St., etc., should be arranged as if spelt Mister, Mac, Saint, etc. [200]
43. When the word Saint represents a ceremonial title, as in the case of St. Alban, St. Giles, and St. Augustine, these names are to be arranged under the letters A and G respectively; but the places St. Albans, St. Giles, and St. Augustines should be found under the prefix Saint. [201]
44. Prefixes in proper names, even when printed separately, are to be treated as if they were joined. Thus De Morgan will come before Demosthenes, and De Quincey after Demosthenes. [203]
45. Headings consisting of two or more distinct words are not to be treated as integral portions of one word. [204]
Order of Sub-Entries.
46. The works of an author should be arranged in the following order:—
- a. Collected works.
- b. Partial collections.
- c. Separate works in chronological order, except in the case of plays or novels, which may be in alphabetical order.
- d. Translations in the same order as that adopted for the original works. [205]
Manipulation.
47. Slips of paper or thick cards should be used for writing the titles upon. A convenient size is that of a page of note paper used lengthways. The shelf-mark can be placed at the top of the right-hand corner. The author's name or heading should be written on a line by itself at the left-hand side, about an inch from the top of the paper.
48. The references may be written upon similar slips, so as to range with the titles.
