Book excerpt: Excerpt from New System of Classification and Scheme for Numbering Books, Applied to the Mercantile Library of Philadelphia The general idea of this system is, First, the division and arrangement of the books, in such principal and subordinate classes, as will make it most easy to determine what works the Library contains, on any topic, and in what part of the collection books on any given subject are to be found; and, Second, the numbering and arranging them on the shelves in such a way that they can be most readily found without consulting a catalogue, or stopping, to ascertain the shelf number. In working out this idea it was found that all the books in any library of a general character, could be gathered into about twenty primary groups or classes, each of which would have a certain completeness, and would embrace a kind of book that was not included in any other class; and also, that the works in each of these several groups or classes, while having certain characteristics in common, yet had peculiarities which furnish ground for the formation of subordinate classes. Some of these primary classes could readily be divided into fifteen or more secondary classes, while others required only six or eight; and it seemed altogether best, to make such an arrangement of classes, and sub-classes, as would be at once recognized as natural and convenient in practical operation. In making this distribution into classes, it was found that about one half of the old divisions in the Library, could be retained as primary classes in the new arrangement, with more or less of transferring of individual books; among these classes are those of History, Biography, Theology, Fine Arts and Medicine. In other cases, two or more of the old classes were found to embrace works that had close affinities with each other, and so they were consolidated to form new primary classes; thus, the old divisions of Poetry and Drama, have been united to form one primary class, under the compound name; and the three former classes, Natural Philosophy, Astronomy and Mathematics, have been united into one, under the name of Mathematics and Physics. The old classes of Commerce and Agriculture has been consolidated with that of Useful Arts; and that of Political Economy has been combined with Sociology and Law.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New System of Classification and Numbering: In Use in the Mechanics' Institute Free Library His System is as nearly mnemonic as possible, intending to aid both the public and Library employes. The classification of knowledge is arranged to fall in succession, each sub-class a relative part of the main class It is divided into three parts - Class (a), sub-class (b), and a division Any person with an ordinary education and a small knowledge of books and their authors can find books, should the readers fail to supply either class letters or number, or both. Example: If a book on music is wanted, the messenger will know that music is a fine art. Class F, and sub-class 77: (music), where a guide card shows the numbered division wanted. This system is more expansive than here represented, as not all the letters of the alphabet are used, leaving room for more classes, also very few sub-classes or divisions are used up.

Download or read book Scheme of Classi cation Classic Reprint written by United States Department of Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scheme of Classi cation The classification of the library of the Department of Agriculture is one which was made especially for it in 1889 by Mr. W.' I. Fletcher, then librarian of Amherst College, there not being available at that time any adequate printed classification of the literature of agriculture. The classification as originally made was broad and simple, the total number of classes being only 230. The library's collections at' that time were comparatively small, aggregating probably less than volumes. With the growth of the library it has been necessary greatly to expand the original classification, the number of classes being now The additions have been made from time to time as the size and use of the collections in certain subjects have demanded subdivision and as books on subjects not previously included in the classification have been added to the library. These changes have been largely in uenced also by the growth in the work and organization of the department. In making the additions it has not been possible always, on account of the make-up of the classification, to place them Where they would logically belong. As a result, the present classification is in many respects illogical and unbalanced. The classi fication of subjects such as botany and forestry is rather minute, while other sub jects - for example, cereals, horticulture, veterinary science, and zoology - have not yet been subdivided. The work of expanding the classification in these and other subjects which are in need of subdivision, will be continued as rapidly as the routine work of the library will permit. The classification has been printed on one side of the page, in order easily to permit of additions and changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space. Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions. In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.

Book excerpt: A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.
