This is more advertisement than title-page, and the cataloguer renders it all as simply as possible in this way:—

Before proceeding further, these books by Orientals must have subject-entries to complete them. The first is a history of the Mongols, and not of the Mohammedan Empire in India as the title might seem to imply, therefore the entry is
| Mongols, The: | |
| Muhammed Haidar. Tarikh-i-Rashidi: history | |
| of the Moghuls. 1895 | 950 |
The author's name here cannot be curtailed to "Muhammed H." Two references are needed, none being required from Moghuls to Mongols,
| Asia, Central: | |
| See also Mongols. | |
| Elias, N. (Ed.) See Muhammed Haidar. | |
India: | |
| Social life. | |
| Yusuf-Ali, A. Life and labour of the people of | |
| India. 1907 | 915.4 |
Japan: | |
| Okakura, Kakasu. The ideals of the East. | |
| 1903 | 709.52 |
London: | |
| Markino, Yoshio. A Japanese artist in | |
| London. 1910 | 914.21 |
Where names have become so much adapted to the Western style, as the above two, it might be possible to reduce them to "Okakura, K." and "Markino, Y.", though the full form is preferable, even in sub-entries.
The Chinese work being by the founder of the religion known as "Taoism," receives an entry accordingly
