Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Engineer Department, United States Army: Part I. Subject, Part II. Authors In planning this Catalogue, I have thought it would be better - the Engi neer Department Library being mainly composed of professional books - to arrange similar subjects into groups, and to append a list of the names of authors, rather than to adopt any of the elaborate forms now used for large libraries. Much pains has been taken to place the title of each work in its appropri ate group of subjects, but doubtless there are yet many errors in classification. In the Index to Subjects reference is made in each case to the group in which the subject will be found. In order to find all the works upon any subject it will be well to look through the entire group containing the subject. In this way not only all the special works, but all the general works touching the subject will be discovered. There are, however, exceptions to this rule; 6. G., works important to be consulted in a study of Iron Defenses will'be found in Artillery, Ordnance, etc., and in Metals, etc., as well as in Military Engineering, etc. The lists of additions to the Library, hereafter to be issued periodically, will be in such form that slips, containing the titles of the new books and the names of the authors, may be cut from them and pasted on the blank pages provided fo'r that purpose.
