Synopsis

Excerpt from Systematic Catalogue of the Public Library, of the City of Milwaukee, With Alphabetical Author, Title and Subject Indexes, 1885

A special effort has been made to enter authors' names with as much fulness and detail, as possi ble. Pseudonyms have been replaced by the real name, when known, with the pseudonym following immediately after it. Italicized and enclosed in parenthesis, and a reference made from the pseudo nym at its proper place in the alphabetical indexes. Given names and parts of surnames omitted on the title-page have been supplied, and initials expanded into the full name. The vernaar form of the names of foreigners has been used exclusively, which seems to be the only safe rule to follow in the catalogue of what will ultimately become a cosmopolitan collection of books, care being taken to represent accurately any peiar sounds expressed in a differentiation of symbols by means of diacritical marks, in those languages that make use of the roman alphabet. The names from. Other languages employing a special alphabet of their own, russian, greek, arabic, etc., have been trans literated in such a manner as to express. As nearly as practicable, the actual sounds of the original name. For this purpose, the consonants have been used with their usual power in english, but to the vowels must be given their continental pronunciation (a as in father, e as a in ale, i as in machine, it as in pull). In oriental names, the rules formulated for the use of the collaborators in the Sacred books of the east have been followed. Any inconsistency, however, that may be noticed in the method of transliterating a partiar name is attributable to the impossibility of finding, among the resources of the library, the name expressed in its original characters.
