_Far_ from the world. _Far_ ... _Far_ *** _Far_, *** B. F. _Far_ ..., J. B. _Farr_, John.
The arrangement of title-entries is first by the heading words; if they are the same, then by the next word; if that is the same, by the next; and so on. Every word, articles and prepositions included, is to be regarded, but not a transposed article: e.g.,
_Uncovenanted_ Mercies. _Under_ a Cloud. _Under_ the Ban. _Under_ the Greenwood Tree; a novel. _Under_ the Greenwood Tree; a poem. _Under_ Which King. _Undone_ Task, The. _Undone_ Task Done.[53]
It makes no difference whether the words are connected with one another in sense or not; the searcher should not be compelled to think of that. Let the arrangement be by words as ordinarily printed. Thus _Home Rule_ is one idea but it is two words, and its place must be determined primarily by its first word _Home_, which brings it before _Homeless_. If it were printed _Homerule_ it would come after _Homeless_. Similarly _Art Amateur_ is one phrase, but as the first word _Art_ is followed by a word beginning with _am_, it must come before _Art_ and _Artists_, although its parts are more closely connected than the parts of the latter phrase.
The French _d'_ and _l'_ are not to be treated as part of the following word: e.g.,
_Art d'économiser._ _Art d'être grandpère._ _Art d'instruire._ _Art de faire._ _Art de l'instruction._ _Art de linguistique._ _Art des mines._ _Art digne._ not _Art de faire._ _Art de linguistique._ _Art de l'instruction._ _Art d'économiser._ _Art des mines._ _Art d'être grandpère._ _Art digne._ _Art d'instruire._
Arrange titles beginning with numeral figures as if the figures were written out in the language of the rest of the title: e.g.,
100 deutscher Männer--Ein hundert deutsche Männer; 1812--Mil huit cent douze.
Arrange abbreviations as if spelled in full, but elisions as they are printed: e.g.,
_Dr., M., Mlle., Mme., Mr., Mrs., St., as Doctor, Monsieur, Mademoiselle, Madame, Mister, Mistress, Saint_.
But _Who'd be a king?_ _Who killed Cock Robin?_ _Who's to blame?_
Care must be taken not to mix two subjects together because their names are spelled in the same way.
Thus _Grace_ before meals, _Grace_ of body, _Grace_ the musical term, and _Grace_ the theological term, must be four distinct headings.
