Excerpt from Catalogue Of The Historical Library Of Andrew Dickson White, First President Of Cornell University, Vol. 2: The French Revolution Like its predecessor, the present division is an author-catalogue, with subject-entries under persons and places. The speeches and motions of deliberative bodies are entered both under the names of their authors and under that of the assembly. Clubs appear under the name of their town, except those of Paris, which are entered under their own titles. The several parlements of France will be found under the naines of the cities where they sat. Titles are given with scrupulous fidelity as to spelling, though not always in full. \vhen an ortho graphic peculiarity is such as to suggest a printer's error, a rie has been inserted for the reader's assurance. There has been little attempt to retain the chaotic capitalization and punctuation; accents have been freely supplied where missing; and, in defiance of French usage, the article has for economy's sake been omitted from the dates at the end oi titles. On the other hand, in lhe interest of the hurried student, there has been appended to every revolutionary date its Gregorian equivalent. Both in the names and in the notes French words and phrases are freely used in place of English ones, in the belief that accuracy and clearness are worth seeking even at the cost of pedantry, and that in any case a catalogue of French books can be of little use to one who does not read French.
