Excerpt from Subject Classification: With Tables, Indexes, Etc., For the Sub-Division of Subjects

His system of Classification has been compiled in response to a demand from many librarians in the United Kingdom for a greatly extended version of the Adjustable Classification, which was published in 1898. That system was not fully indexed, and its main classes and divisions are only worked out in detail here and there, to suit the needs of the smaller British municipal libraries. There was, in consequence, plenty Of room for a much more elaborate and complete scheme, suited to the requirements of British libraries Of all kinds and Sizes, and this system Of Subject Classification is the result. Its plan and. Method Of application are set out SO fully in the Introduction, that there is no need to explain here the principles Of its construction or aim. The attempt to supply a complete classification of literature for libraries and general educational purposes could be justified on many grounds, but it will be sufficient to claim that a Simple, fairly logical and practical method has long been wanted in British libraries.
