Excerpt from The Best Reading: Hints on the Selection of Books; On the Formation of Libraries, Public and Private; On Courses of Reading, Etc;, With a Classified Bibliography for Easy Reference
The topics chosen have usually been as specific as was practicable, because these are most likely to be looked for, and therefore to save most labor. Thus, one who wants books about the horse, will find them under Horse, and is not expected to reason about Domestic Animals, or Mammalia, or Zoology, or Natural History. If he wants a book on Chemistry he need not search under Natural Science. If he wants one on Abyssinia, he need not search Africa; and so on. The cross-references will, it is believed, prevent any perplexity from exceptions to this rule.
