ABSTRACT
The cataloguing of deeds as well as their classification has been the subject of study, and has been reported upon by the British Records Association, and before the arrangement of deeds is undertaken, what has been done by that body should be considered. In modern "dictionary" cataloguing such a book would be entered under its author, its title, and its subject or subjects in one alphabet, as are the words in a dictionary. All cataloguing nowadays should follow the Anglo-American code as to form and fullness of entries. The arrangement of the collection should be a simple matter to the librarian when once he has determined his guiding principle. This chapter consists only of elementary suggestions which can be followed in treatises on classification. It will be found on examination that the subject has interested many librarians who have made their suggestions in the various library journals.
