The police report can be entered under "London," though by "Metropolis" is meant a much larger district than that usually understood as London, as it includes several outside county and other boroughs while excluding the City itself. Nominally the report is that of the chief officer, but there is no occasion to enter it under his name.
Upon the principle already outlined, editions of the statutes would, in the ordinary course, be entered under "Parliament," but it is better to take a separate heading, as "Acts of Parliament" or "Statutes, British," referring from "Parliament." Illustrative examples are
| Acts of Parliament: | |
| Statutes, The. A.D. 1235-1900. 2nd revised | |
| ed. 20 v. 1888-1909 | 346.2 |
| Chitty's Statutes of practical utility. 6th | |
| ed., by W. H. Aggs. v. 1-14. 1911-13 | 346.2 |
| Statutes, British. See Acts of Parliament. | |
| Parliament. See also Acts of Parliament. | |
| Law. See also Acts of Parliament. |
References should be given from the names of any editors, compilers, digesters, or annotators, as Chitty and Aggs. A volume of Acts relating to a specified subject, say, Copyright, Theatres, or Workmen, is not entered under the general heading, but under the name of the subject and the compiler. Such works ordinarily contain the law as well as the statutes, and therefore any references required from the general to the particular would be given under "Law." Legislative publications of other countries corresponding to our Acts of Parliament are entered under the names of those countries.
The manner of stating the number of volumes in the second (Chitty) of the above examples indicates that the work is still in course of publication; if it were complete the number of volumes would be given as in the first entry. This first entry also takes precedence of the Chitty for order because it is the official "By authority" edition.
As said above, the publications of colonial and foreign governments are first entered under the names of places, then by departments, as
| United States. Bureau of Education. Circular | |
| of information No. 1, 1902. Contributions | |
| to American educational history; ed. by | |
| Herbert B. Adams. No. 30, History of | |
| education in West Virginia, by A. R. Whitehill. | |
| Washington, 1902 | 572.973 |
| Canada. Department of Mines. Summary report | |
| of the Geological Survey Branch, 1911. | |
| Ottawa, 1912 | 557.1 |
