The book also has a large bearing upon the ethics of these days, and seems to need an additional entry under "Morals" or "Ethics." If any doubt exists as to the value of the book as a contribution to the subject, let the mistake be made on the right side, and give the entry
=Ethics=: Browne, G. F., &c. The Church and life of to-day. 1910
For the classified catalogue the entry is marked 261.4 (Religion. The Church. Church and Morals.), and the index entries
Ethics, Church and, 261.4 Church of England and Morals, 261.4 Morals, Church and, 261.4 Browne, G. F., &c. The Church and life of to-day. 261.4
A book somewhat similar to the last but varying in the method of treatment is
The citizen of to-morrow: a handbook on social questions edited by Samuel E. Keeble for the Wesleyan Methodist Union for Social Service. London, Charles H. Kelly
Examining the book we find that there are three series, each consisting of five essays, classified as "Historical and General," "Labour and Poverty," and "Citizenship and Service." The book, having a general editor, the main-entry is given under his name, and because of this is not entered under that of the writer of the first essay, as in the previous example.
KEEBLE, Samuel E. (_Ed._) The citizen of to-morrow: a handbook on social questions. (_Wesleyan Methodist Union for Social Service._) [1906]
The abbreviation _Ed._ may be used either for editor or edited, the position marking the meaning. The year of publication is not on the title-page, but is taken from the end of the preface, which is dated "June 30, 1906"; being, therefore, an addition to the title-page it is enclosed in brackets. The value of giving the year of publication wherever possible is unquestionable. When there is no clue to it in the book itself, all available sources of reference should be searched, more particularly the _English Catalogue of Books_ and library catalogues. In the event of the search proving fruitless, the letters "n.d.", signifying no date, are put in place of the date.
As was the case with the previous book, each essay in the book deals with a separate subject, yet the whole forms a single subject, and may be fitly placed under a heading entitled, say,
=Social Question, The=: Keeble, S. E. (_Ed._) The citizen of to-morrow. [1906]
