As however, the essential +points to be attended to, in the proper description of +a book, are little understood, I thought it would be desirable +to prefix to the list a few suggestions on the way to +supply correct information. These gradually developed, so +that I soon found the subject required more space, more +time, and more consideration than I at first imagined.</p> + +<p class='c010'>In the hope that I might obtain assistance from others, +and with a view to getting hints and exciting discussion, +I wrote an article for “Notes and Queries,” which was +printed in the numbers for January and April of 1872, +entitled, “How to describe a Book.” I now go more fully +into the matters that I consider require attention in the +proper description of a book.</p> + +<p class='c010'>An explanation of the title of this essay will no doubt +be looked for in the preface. It is very simple. In my +searches for the Authors’ names, the ladies in this list +have resisted all enquiry in the most aggravating manner. +Therefore I took the title of Aggravating Ladies as being +concise and appropriate.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The information asked for relates only to English Literature +of the 19th century, to which period I confine myself +entirely. The anonymous and pseudonymous writers +during this century being more than sufficient to occupy +a whole life of laborious application.</p> + +<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_6'>6</span>I have not included in the list any phrases such as:—A +Lady of Rank—A Lady of Distinction—A Lady of Hebrew +faith—A Banished Lady—A Young Lady—A too generous +Young Lady—nor, A Lady of distinction, who has witnessed +and attentively studied what is esteemed truly graceful and +elegant amongst the most refined nations of Europe (!) The +pseudonym of the author of The Mirror of the Graces, or an +English lady’s costume [treating of] … taste … grace; modesty +… dress …; rank … in life; … of accomplishments; … the mind +… means of preserving beauty …; by a lady, &c. London, +Crosby & Co., 1811.</p> + +<p class='c010'>On the other hand I have inserted some titles which have +been entered in different catalogues as by “a lady,” when +those words do not occur on the title. Such works probably +being really written by a lady, the publisher naturally desired +they should go forth with that impress of good faith +and with all the prestige attaching to that talismanic little +word.</p> + +<p class='c010'>As I have already explained, my list comprises only works +published in the present century, whose authors are unknown +to me. I have a longer list of works by “a lady,” whose +names are known, and who have therefore ceased to be aggravating. +I do not give the title when I know the name of +the author because I am now seeking not supplying information.</p> + +<p class='c010'>Another list as long as that I give at the end I have not +printed, not having been able to see the books themselves +so as to describe them from actual inspection.</p> + +<p class='c010'>I shall be grateful for information as to any of the works, +or the lives of these Aggravating Ladies.</p> + +<p class='c011'>38, Doughty Street, W.C.</p> +<p class='c012'>July, 1880.</p> + +</div> + +<div class='pbb'> + <hr class='pb c004'> +</div> + +<div><span class='pageno' id='Page_7'>7</span></div> +<div class='chapter' id='prelim'> + +<div> + <h2 class='c005'>PRELIMINARY REMARKS.</h2> +</div> +<hr class='c006'> + +<p class='c013'>What’s in a name?</p> + +<p class='c014'>Ask the booksellers, and they will tell you, <em>much</em> in the title-page +of a new book.…</p> + +<p class='c014'>The making up of a taking title-page, seems to have been +the peculiar province of the bookseller, time out of mind.—<cite>Fly +leaves.… London</cite> [published and edited by] <cite>John +Miller</cite>, 1854.</p> + +<p class='c009'>After a perusal of my list I think every gentleman will +agree with me that Ladies really are very aggravating. It +would be curious to hear the exclamation of any lady who +has written as “A lady,” upon looking it over. She would +probably exclaim that when she wrote as “A lady,” she +thought she was the only one, or at all events one of the +first.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The authoress of: “How to dress on £15 a year as a +lady, by a lady,” would no doubt be surprised to find such +a long list for the present century alone. I mention this +flowing and somewhat vigorously written little work; but it +is of too recent a date for me to make any enquiry for the +author’s name, especially as it is a secret that, from the present +popularity of the book, is not likely to be long kept.<a id='r1'></a><a href='#f1' class='c015'><sup>[1]</sup></a> +For I have remarked that though these ladies do not like +placing their names on their books, yet there is little desire +to disguise the authorship, and enquiries are generally soon +satisfied if a work has attained any success. They like +to see themselves in print, so long as there is no infringement +of the patent of modesty.</p> + +<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_8'>8</span>The inference from this is that my list is composed chiefly +of works that have not become famous or popular, which is +the fact. If secresy were their object, it has to the present +time been attained, for they have defied my researches. +Nevertheless I believe that to some one of the author’s +friends or relations she has been known, but “no man is a +prophet in his own country,” and friends and relations very +often care too little for what literary ladies are doing to +follow Captain Cuttle’s advice and “make a note” of an +author’s name. Knowledge is often the greatest enemy to +the recording of facts. People often know so well whom a +book is by, that they are not even aware of its pseudonimity. +The majority of novel readers never know the name of the +author, nor do they care to enquire, and much prefer reading +a novel “By the author of” some previous work which has +interested them.</p> + +<p class='c010'>In many cases I am asking for information which the +authoresses do not conceal, and which is well known though +unknown to me.</p> + +<p class='c010'>Thus I ascribe my not knowing the name of the author +rather to the fact of there being no one to make a note of it +when found, than any desire on the fair writer’s part to remain +unknown. When a lady has written her first work as “a +lady” she seldom adopts that denomination in her second +work; but more frequently uses the term “By the author of” +the previous work, or “By a lady, author of,” etc.</p> + +<hr class='c016'> +<div class='footnote' id='f1'> +<p class='c010'><a href='#r1'>1</a>.

This has been done +for many years past by the librarians of our National Library. +So that there at least we have a Catalogue that we can depend +upon so far as it goes: how far that is the rules inform +us. Several of them simply provide against the prevailing +loose notions of cataloguing. Rules for example to tell us +that titles are written straight on as they are found, or in +the language in which the book is written and not in another, +read like satires on ignorance. And yet how necessary they +are.</p> + +<p class='c010'>These rules, invaluable as a guide to every catalogue +maker, will be found printed in the: Catalogue of printed +books in the British Museum, volume 1. London, printed +by order of the trustees, MDCCCXLI, in folio; the Preface is +signed by the editor Sir Antonio Panizzi, and examples of the +rules will be found in: A handbook for Readers at the British +Museum, by Thomas Nichols, assistant in the British Museum, +London, Longman, 1866, p. 51. This useful little work unfortunately +has no index. A catalogue drawn up according +to the rules of the Museum will be found in: “A list of +the books of reference in the Reading room of the British +Museum.”</p> + +<p class='c010'>The rules are ninety-one in number but for small libraries +where provision is not required for every language under the +sun, a smaller number would be sufficient.<a id='r3'></a><a href='#f3' class='c015'><sup>[3]</sup></a></p> + +<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_12'>12</span>Whatever rules are determined upon should be printed +in the catalogue, so that those who consult it may know at +once whether or not they are likely to find what they want +and how.</p> + +<hr class='c018'> + +<p class='c010'>The first question that arises is the amount of title page +information to be given. To abbreviate or not abbreviate +becomes the difficult question. It generally resolves itself +into one of expense, and abbreviated titles are determined +upon.</p> + +<p class='c010'>I now therefore treat of the matter as it is, and not as it +should be, for if I treated it as it should be, namely with +full titles, I should have little to say.</p> + +<p class='c010'>He must have been a bold man who first began to abbreviate +titles for a catalogue. It is a most unsatisfactory practice, +though now having long precedent for its use. It is +like cutting off a leg or an arm, the body can still go on, it +is true, but it is nevertheless mutilated.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The more title page information a bibliotheca gives the +greater will be its usefulness.

They must aim at serving +the tyro no less than the professor.—<cite>Edward Edwards</cite> +(Memoirs of Libraries, 1859, II., p. 836).</p> + +<p class='c009'>Books may be classed under four heads, namely (1) Autonymous—(2) +Polyonymous—(3) Pseudonymous, and—(4) +Anonymous.</p> + +<p class='c010'>1. Autonymous, the first and most common is with the +author’s name either on the title-page, or if not on the title-page, +signed to a preface, introduction, letter, or dedication, +or in some part of the book, or at the end. Speeches though +usually anonymous with regard to the reporting or editing, +are frequently catalogued under the name of the speaker as +autonymous.</p> + +<p class='c010'>2. Polyonymous, is with several authors’ names. It is +usual to enter them under the name of the first author, with +cross references from the others.</p> + +<p class='c010'>3. Pseudonymous, without the author’s name, but with +a fictitious name or designation, thus giving some indication +as to the author, though possibly a very slight one. No +matter in what part of the book the pseudonym appears, the +work is pseudonymous.<a id='r6'></a><a href='#f6' class='c015'><sup>[6]</sup></a></p> + +<p class='c010'>In cataloguing, the pseudonym should no more be left out, +than the author’s name. If an author uses a pseudonym on +the title, but gives his real name in the book, it is not pseudonymous, +but must be catalogued as autonymous. In this +<span class='pageno' id='Page_15'>15</span>case, as in all others, the pseudonym should be given, even if +the title is abbreviated. In fact the pseudonym for bibliographical +purposes takes the place of the author’s name. I +have not space here to enumerate the different classes of +pseudonyms, of which there are many varieties.<a id='r7'></a><a href='#f7' class='c015'><sup>[7]</sup></a></p> + +<p class='c010'>4. Lastly an Anonymous book is one without the author’s +name, whether on the title page, or any part of the book. +The word anonymous has been and still is very indiscriminately +used to include pseudonymous. The cataloguer must +be careful not to be betrayed into this error so fruitful of +inaccuracy. This class of books has resisted the most strenuous +efforts of the learned to bring it within rules, every +rule for cataloguing such books requiring an exception. With +anonymous works having simple titles, such as “Aggravating +Ladies” (supposing a work to be published anonymously +with such a title) the task is easy. Though even this +example will illustrate the difficulty of the subject, for there +are only two words and there are two ways of cataloguing, +each having advantages. By one system it would come +under “Aggravating” and by the other under “Ladies.” +According to the system of Audiffredi<a id='r8'></a><a href='#f8' class='c015'><sup>[8]</sup></a> and of Barbier<a id='r9'></a><a href='#f9' class='c015'><sup>[9]</sup></a> +<span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>and of a similar work on English authors<a id='r10'></a><a href='#f10' class='c015'><sup>[10]</sup></a>, it would be +catalogued by the first word, and for such works this is the +most approved method<a id='r11'></a><a href='#f11' class='c015'><sup>[11]</sup></a>. According to the Rules of the +British Museum it would be catalogued under Ladies.</p> + +<p class='c010'>It affords matter for consideration when we find it stated +that “An anonymous work is seldom read with confidence or +quoted as an authority.”<a id='r12'></a><a href='#f12' class='c015'><sup>[12]</sup></a></p> + +<p class='c010'>Many publications intended expressly for youth, and therefore +requiring some guarantee that they are fit for the purpose, +are published without the author’s name, though frequently +with an indication of sex.</p> + +<p class='c010'>It may probably be that little as is the credit given to the +anonymous or pseudonymous work, for in the above quotation +both are meant, it would obtain less if it had the author’s +real name<a id='r13'></a><a href='#f13' class='c015'><sup>[13]</sup></a>.</p> + +<p class='c010'>To shew that a book was published without the author’s +name, whether anonymous or pseudonymous, some bibliographers +have put an asterisk or star at the beginning of the +title. I am not aware that this, or indeed any plan has +systematically been adopted in any English work, except +within the last few years. In his learned Essay On the Literature +of Political economy, p. x, J. R. McCulloch says: +“When the name of the author of a work is included between +brackets, it shows that it was published anonymously.” He +<span class='pageno' id='Page_17'>17</span>uses anonymous here in the sense of without the author’s +name, and to include pseudonymous. I made use of the star +in the Handbook of Fictitious Names in 1868, but only to +indicate anonymity, and not as Quérard uses it. In Notes +and Queries for the 6th April, 1872, I suggested the adoption +of a line — to shew that a book was published pseudonymously. +And I made use of both signs in my Bibliographical +list of Lord Brougham’s publications. These +signs have the advantage of attracting the eye, and declaring +at once the class of book. On the other hand they +cannot be used for foot notes, are likely to be overlooked +in printing, and there is always great difficulty in +getting readers to find out what signs mean. On the whole +after much consideration I have determined for the future +to use simply abbreviations of the words anonymous and +pseudonymous which everybody understands without explanation.</p> + +<p class='c010'>As in describing a book the principal object is to enable +the student to identify it, so that there may be no doubt that +the cataloguer’s remarks upon a certain book apply to that for +which the reader is searching. It is less important that autonymous +works should be catalogued so fully as anonymous, +<a id='tn-because'></a>because the author’s name is at once a guide. For though +two autonymous works bear the same title their authors’ +names would be different. But not so with two anonymous +works having the same title.</p> + +<p class='c010'>Pseudonymous works, in which the pseudonym is a name +and not a phrase or denomination, would come in the same +category.</p> + +<p class='c010'>For anonymous, and frequently for pseudonymous works +it is not only desirable to give the full title, but to supplement +it with any further information that will help identification. +As for example, if the book is printed at a different +place to that of sale or publication<a id='r14'></a><a href='#f14' class='c015'><sup>[14]</sup></a> or if dated and addressed +from what would appear to be the author’s residence, +or if there is any allusion in the work or the advertisements<a id='r15'></a><a href='#f15' class='c015'><sup>[15]</sup></a> +to other publications of the same author. Examples of +<span class='pageno' id='Page_18'>18</span>all will be found in my list. Though a book be anonymous +so far as the title page informs us, yet if pseudonymous from +the preface or introduction being signed with a fictitious +name, or with initials or denomination, or other qualification, +it should be catalogued as pseudonymous. Thus following +the rule with regard to autonyms. Except when signed:—The +Author, The Editor, The Translator, Himself, or Herself, +of which it is best to take no notice, even if on the title. +Such works should be considered anonymous without even +giving cross-references from those words.</p> + +<p class='c010'>Of whatever description, whether autonymous, or anonymous, +or pseudonymous, the first words of the title, or the +half title, should be quoted correctly, and exactly as they +occur, and to this rule there should be no exception, whether +for bibliographical lists, or for the purpose of citation as an +authority. For in the latter case, however familiar the work +cited may be, there are sure to be readers unfamiliar with it, +to whom a loose reference will cause trouble. The half title +or any abbreviation of the title, if used by the author of the +book may be adopted.</p> + +<p class='c010'>Few things cause greater waste of time amongst literary +men than the habitually careless manner in which they give +references. Not only should a book be correctly described, +but the edition or date and page ought to be added. Bibliographers +(which term I here use to mean persons who have +concerned themselves with the description of books) have +sinned terribly in this respect by giving descriptions of books +at second, or even third-hand, and repeating the mistakes +and blunders of the original authority. Title pages are like +rumours, the oftener they are repeated the more incorrect +they become. The student should never rely upon a catalogue +for the description of a book, unless the compiler has +adhered strictly to rules. A statement in bibliothecas, biographical +dictionaries, or catalogues, that a work is anonymous, +can never be relied upon<a id='r16'></a><a href='#f16' class='c015'><sup>[16]</sup></a>.</p> + +<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_19'>19</span>After the first few words of the title every abbreviation or +omission should be indicated by three dots … close together +not thus. . . . This is a better method than using an +“etc.,” a sign which from the carelessness of authors is frequently +found on title-pages of books, and if used by both +authors and cataloguers we should never know which. As +few authors could explain the meaning of an “&c.” on the +title, it is not likely that readers can guess.</p> + +<p class='c010'>It has been customary to omit mottoes without any indication +of the omission, and this has been done in one of the +most bibliographical works published in England<a id='r17'></a><a href='#f17' class='c015'><sup>[17]</sup></a>.

When short it +<span class='pageno' id='Page_20'>20</span>is a luxury the bibliographer may occasionally indulge in. +I confess that this is one of the points I have felt extremely +puzzled about. I never abbreviate or omit anything from a +title-page without fear and trembling, which is intensified in +the case of mottoes. They frequently in one short verse, or +sentence, give the pith of a book, and my fear is that some +one in the future should wonder how I could be so stupid as +to suggest their omission.</p> + +<p class='c010'>All additions should be indicated with the same care by +placing them between brackets [ ]. Additions in titles +should be as few and as short as possible, all explanatory +matter can be given in a note.</p> + +<p class='c010'>Sometimes authors use brackets or parentheses on the title +pages. When this is the case, if of no use or unimportant, +they should be left out by the cataloguer. For instance, +when an author has the words [Reprinted from, &c.] in the +title. To omit the brackets is the least misleading, for if +left in it would look as if this information were not supplied +by the author, and if (<span lang="la"><i>sic</i></span>) were put it would not be understood +as referring to the brackets.</p> +<hr class='c016'> +<div class='footnote' id='f6'> +<p class='c010'><a href='#r6'>6</a>.

In the second edition in +1826 he very properly eliminated so far as he was able such works +as contained the authors’ names. For many things the first edition +is better than the second, in which many of the titles we are told +were abbreviated. In the third and last and best edition, part of +which was published in 1872, his son, (see p. xxix., note) has so +far as he was able, re-instated such titles because so many editors +and others still continue to consider a work anonymous if the +author’s name does not occur on the title page.

As to so much of the title as occurs before the author’s +name we have already said that the first few words should +<span class='pageno' id='Page_22'>22</span>be copied word for word, and afterwards every omission +should be denoted by dots.</p> + +<p class='c010'>(2.) The name of the author should not be abbreviated, if +it renders it difficult to distinguish between two with the +same initials. If the author’s qualifications are omitted or +abbreviated, dots … of omission should be inserted. A description +after a name is often very important and useful in +determining the degree of credit to be attached to the work, +but they are frequently so numerous that they are too long +for most catalogues.</p> + +<p class='c010'>Works in more than one volume generally have the number +on the title, as “In three volumes, vol 1.” Take no +notice of “Vol I.,” but invariably state the number of volumes +in the order in which it occurs on the title-page. The number +of volumes, however, is not always stated; in some works +each volume simply has “Vol I,” or “Vol II,” on the title, +when this is so, the number of volumes should be stated +after the date thus: “1873, in three volumes, octavo.” +The reader would then know whether the number of volumes +was stated on the title or not.</p> + +<p class='c010'>There will be cases where this rule will not sufficiently +indicate the fact, as for instance, when the first does not, +but the second does, state the number of volumes.

The Publisher’s name we seldom find in any list of +books. I never recollect to have seen it in any catalogue of +a library, and in very few bibliographical works. And yet +it is often of great importance. In cataloguing works without +the author’s name it should seldom if ever be omitted, +however much the title is abbreviated.

For +how wrong a guess of this kind may be has been amply illustrated +in Notes and Queries.</p> + +<p class='c010'>Every celebrated man has had numerous publications attributed +to him by people who professed themselves quite +certain of the authorship, from the style and subject matter.</p> + +<p class='c010'>There is at present no book which will give any help in +an investigation like the present. In the “Handbook of +Fictitious Names,” at pages 7 and 8, only seven real names +of ladies are revealed, with a note to the effect that there +were upwards of fifty works unknown.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The very useful series of catalogues published by Messrs. +Bent, Hodgson, and Sampson Low, the English Catalogue of +the latter being the best of the kind, afford great assistance.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The London catalogue of books, 1814-1851, has a classified +index, and in this anonymous works are frequently attributed +to their real authors, though without any indication +of their anonymity.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The British catalogue also has a subject index.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The following include the majority of publications from +1800 to the present time, except pamphlets and privately +printed works.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The London catalogue of books … since the year 1800 to +March 1827, Lond. pub. for the executor of the late W. +Bent by Longman &c. 1827, 8o.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The London catalogue … 1814 to 1846.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The London catalogue … 1816 to 1851, Lond., Thomas +Hodgson 13 Paternoster row and sold by Longman &c., +1851, 8o.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The classified index to the London catalogue … 1816 to +1851, London T.

She wrote ‘Some Observations on Girl’s +Schools and Boarding Schools,’ but whether with her name +or not I forget. Also, about 1822, was published, by Smith +of London, an interesting religious tale called Lily, and in +16o, 1825, a capital little work on the choice of books, +with advice about Miss Edgeworth’s Novels.”</p> + +<p class='c010'>It will be evident to anyone that the whole of the above +requires verification, a labour of hours, perhaps days, which +might have been saved by a little bibliographical knowledge +on the part of our informant.</p> + +<p class='c010'>On investigation it appears, then, that our informant has +scarcely given a single date or title correctly.—1. Miss Seaman +died in 1829, not 1830.—2. The reference to the Ryde +papers is useless, as too wide for verification, and inaccessible.—3. +The title of each of her works is given from recollection, +or rather, from no recollection, and they are all incorrect.—4. +The titles are made up.—5. Words not in the title-pages +are interpolated without notice.—6. The size of the +book is placed before the date—<abbr title='spell'><span lang="fr"><i>i.e.</i></span></abbr> it is interpolated, and in +fact everything is reversed.</p> + +<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_38'>38</span>The above information might be best put in this form.</p> + +<p class='c010'><span class='sc'>Seaman</span> (Lucy) the daughter of a Captain in the Royal +Navy, born at Ryde, the 23 May, 1801, wrote several works +which are held in high estimation, and died of consumption +on the 15 September, 1829.

Miss Maria Edgeworth’s tales compared with other +works of fiction; to which is added advice for the selection, +and a list of works most suitable for children, by the author +of Little Lily, &c., Lond., J.

But from the book +being printed at Ryde for the author, though published in +London, it may be inferred that she resided at Ryde at the +time.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The second work is pseudonymous, as the abbreviation +“pseudon,” indicates.</p> + +<p class='c010'>The third work would appear also by the title-page to be +<span class='pageno' id='Page_39'>39</span>pseudonymous, it is not so, as the preface is signed by the +authoress, and the abbreviation “auton,” warns us that it is +autonymous.</p> + +<p class='c010'>In conclusion, I hope that my observations will not dishearten +the student who is ambitious of being bibliographical. +Let every one strive to do his best. But let no man +suppose he can make a good catalogue simply from his desire +to do so and without previous study. It is no use saying +a man must be accurate, he cannot until he has studied +the art of bibliography, and learned what has already been +done in that science; so that by taking note of the errors of +his predecessors, he may attempt a catalogue on the most +modern and improved principles, and thereby contribute towards +the advancement and improvement of bibliography.</p> + +</div> +<hr class='c016'> +<div class='footnote' id='f30'> +<p class='c010'><a href='#r30'>30</a>.
