— _and_ White, E. Dahomey and the slave trade.
This trifling inconvenience can be easily avoided, however, by including the second name in the title; _e. g._,
When the form «Smith», John, _and others_ is used, Full will give a list of the “others” in a note. They are not put into a heading merely because there is not room for many names on the first line of a card, and in a printed catalogue the information seems more in place in a note than in a very long heading.
241. In the order of titles take account of every word except initial articles. If two titles have the same words arrange by date of imprint, the earliest first.
_Ex._ «Address» of Southern delegates in Congress.
«Address» of the people of Great Britain.
«Address» of twenty thousand loyal Protestant apprentices.
«Address» to Christians, recommending the distribution.
242. Arrange different editions of the same works chronologically.
_Ex._ «Homerus.» Carmina [Gr.]; cum annot., cur. C. G. Heyne. Lips., 1802. 8v. 8º.
— _Same._ [Gr.]; cum notis et proleg. R. P. Knight. Londini, 1820. 4º.
— _Same._ [Gr.]; ed. J. Bekker. Bonnae, 1858. 2v. 8º.
«Bartlett», John. Collection of familiar quotations. 3d ed. Camb., 1860. 12º.
243. Undated editions should have the date supplied as nearly as may be; absolutely undatable editions should precede dated editions.
244. Disregard numerals commencing a title before such words as Report, Annual report.
_Not_ First report, Fourth report, General account, Second report.
_but_ General account. 1st, 2d, 4th report. { 90}
245. Arrange translations immediately after the original, prefixing the name of the language into which they are made; if there are several, arrange the languages alphabetically.
_Ex._ «Cicero.» De officiis. [Various editions, arranged chronologically.]
— _Same._ Erkl. von O. Heine. Berlin, 1857. 8º.
— _Eng._ Offices; tr. by C. R. Edmonds. London, 1850. 8º.
— _French._ Les offices; tr. par [G. Dubois]. Paris, 1691. 8º.
If the original is not in the library the translation may be arranged either by the first words of its own title or by the first words of the original title prefixed in brackets. The latter order is to be preferred when most of the other titles are in the original language. When the list of entries is long a reference should be made from any title of a translation which is alphabetically much separated from its original back to the original title under which it is to be found.
