opyright or actual publication, if known to be
different in brackets, and preceded by c. or p. as the case may be];

the number of volumes, or of pages if there is only one volume;

[the number of maps, portraits, or illustrations not included in the
text];

and either the approximate size designated by letter, or the
exact size in centimeters;

the name of the series to which the book belongs is to be given in
parentheses after the other imprint entries.

After the place of publication, the place of printing may be
given if different. This is desirable only in rare and old books.

The number of pages is to be indicated by giving the last number
of each paging, connecting the numbers by the sign +; the
addition of unpaged matter may be shown by a +, or the number of
pages ascertained by counting may be given in brackets. When
there are more than three pagings, it is better to add them
together and give the sum in brackets.

These imprint entries are to give the facts, whether ascertained
from the book or from other sources; those which are usually
taken from the title (edition, place, publisher's name, and
series) should be in the language of the title, corrections and
additions being inclosed in brackets. It is better to give the
words, "maps," "portraits," etc., and the abbreviations for
"volumes" and "pages," in English.

CONTENTS, NOTES.

Notes (in English) and contents of volumes are to be given when
necessary to properly describe the works. Both notes and lists of
contents to be in a smaller type.

MISCELLANEOUS.

A single dash or indent indicates the omission of the preceding
heading; a subsequent dash or indent indicates the omission of a
subordinate heading, or of a title.

A dash connecting numbers signifies to and including; following a
number it signifies continuation.

A ? following a word or entry signifies probably.

Brackets inclose words added to titles or imprints, or changed in
form.

Arabic figures are to be used rather than Roman; but small
capitals may be used after the names of sovereigns, princes, and
popes.

A list of abbreviations to be used was given in the Library
journal, Vol. 3: 16-20.
