 PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 Since the third issue of this list in 1910, the recataloguing of several 
 classes has been completed, that of others begun or advanced: Pliilosophy; 
 Heraldry ; Genealogy ; Political science ; International law ; sections of Art, 
 Language and Literature ; Agriculture ; Military and Naval science ; special 
 collections, Lincoln, Washington, etc. These subjects, covered fully or in 
 part, have increased the list to more than double its former size. Together 
 with the Preliminary lists of subject headings with local subdivision, 
 recently issued, it forms a necessary complement to the main list of sub- 
 ject headings, and a key to the subject subdivisions used on the printed 
 catalogue cards. 
 
 The compilation of the additions and the preparation of the revised list 
 for printing are the work of Mary W. MacNair.

gen;eral form divisions under subjects. 
 
 Addresses, essays, lectures. 
 
 To include addresses, essays, lectures, whether issued singly'^- or in 
 collections, whether by one or more authors. It is to be limited to 
 the class of works specified, i. e. works which are usually brief and 
 do not treat the subject as comprehensivelj'' or methodically as a 
 regular treatise. 
 
 Occasionally the term "essay" is applied to a work which really forms 
 a conf^rehensive treatise on a subject or branch of a subject. In 
 this case the subdivision is to be omitted. The same holds true of a 
 series of lectures on a particular subject which, issued together, may 
 form a connected and comprehensive treatise, and should therefore 
 be entered under the general subject without subdivision.
