Wood, James (Ed.) See Carlyle, Thomas (Sartor
resartus.)
The first of these references contains abbreviated forms of Christian names, which, as economies, are quite allowable, because they are well recognised and convey the same meaning as if given in full. Other names of the kind are Alex., Alf. or Alfd., Chas., Edwd., Eliz., Fredk., Geo., Margt., Robt., Saml., Wm., though it is inadvisable to use them in the transcriptions of book titles; "The marriage of Wm. Ashe," "Sir Geo. Tressady," "Geo.'s mother," must be avoided.
In the same category as commentaries come concordances, with some differences of opinion as to the necessity for giving the main-entry under the compiler's name or the author concordanced. The compiler is entitled to an acknowledgment of his work, although it is of the "scissors and paste" order of literature; it is, however, not a matter of great moment, as under any circumstances both entries are given. The following are illustrations:
| Ellis, F. S. A lexical concordance to the poetical | |
| works of Percy Bysshe Shelley. 1892 | 821.77 |
| Husband, M. F. A. A dictionary of the characters | |
| in the Waverley Novels of Sir Walter Scott. | |
| 1910 | 823.73 |
Shelley, Percy B.: | |
| Ellis, F. S. Concordance to the poetical | |
| works of Shelley. 1892 | 821.77 |
Scott, Sir Walter: | |
| Husband, M. F. A. Dictionary of the | |
| characters in the Waverley Novels. 1910 | 823.73 |
Newspapers, magazines, periodicals, reviews, directories, annuals, almanacks, and publications of like kind are also regarded as anonymous, and are given a first-word title-entry.
Newspapers of a general character published in London would be entered in British catalogues without any regard to the place of publication, as
Times, The.
Daily Telegraph, The.
Westminster Gazette, The.
Illustrated London News, The.
and not as London Times, London Daily Telegraph, London Westminster Gazette, London News, Illustrated. Local papers, on the other hand, are entered under the name of the place, whether the name appears in their titles or not, as
Chelsea. West London Press.
Manchester Guardian, The.
Liverpool. Porcupine, The.
Leeds Mercury, The.
