F. REFERENCES.
202. In references use the word See when there is no entry under the heading from which the reference is made; See also when there is one.
Ex.
Death penalty. See Capital punishment.
Horticulture. LINDLEY, J. Theory of H.
See also Flowers;—Fruit.
Not Vide; the language of an English catalogue should be English.
203. References must be brief.
Yet the convenience of the public must not be sacrificed to brevity. If, for instance, several authors had used the same pseudonym, the titles of their respective works should be given in the references that the reader may know under which of the authors he will find the work he is in search of, and not have to turn to all three.
Detlef, Carl, pseud. See Baur, C.
is the usual form of reference; but it is not enough for Hamilton.
Hamilton, pseud. Essay on a congress of nations. See Whitman, G. H.
Hamilton, pseud. Hamilton. No. 1, etc. See Carey, M.
Analytical references to treatises of the same author or on the same subject, contained in different volumes of the same work, may be made thus:
Charles, A. O. Reformatory and refuge union. (In National Assoc. Prom. Soc. Sci. Trans., 1860.)—Reformatory legislation. (In Trans., 1861.)—Punishment and reformation in America. (In Trans., 1863.)
Comets. PEIRCE, B. Connection of comets with the solar system. (In Amer. Assoc., Proc., v. 2. 1850.)—HUBBARD, J. S. Biela’s double comet. (In v. 8.)—KIRKWOOD, D. Mean distances of the periodic comet. (In v. 12. 1859.)
The signs have been used instead of ( ) in analytical references to mean “contained in.” They are more conspicuous,—unnecessarily so. {80}
References are frequently printed in smaller type than the rest of the catalogue. This is well when there are enough not to be overlooked; but a single reference from one form of a name to another, or from one subject-name to its synonym, should be in the title type, not in the note type, e. g.
Bell, Acton, pseud. See Bronté, Anne.
Gardening. See Horticulture.
