Excerpt from Cruickshank Science Library, Subject Catalogue, Vol. 2
This Subject Catalogue of the Cruickshank Science Library contains the titles of about one-third of the books in the Departments of Pure Science (Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Pal?ontology, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Anthropology) and Agriculture, including Forestry and Veterinary Science - being those which it is specially desired to bring under the notice of the student. The remaining two-thirds are titled either in the author catalogues printed in 1873-74, 1887 and 1897, or in the manuscript sheaf catalogues (both of authors and of subjects), which may be consulted in the Library.
To keep the booklet of a convenient size, the titles have been cut down as far as is consistent with clearness. Authors' pre-names are entered as initials only, while the names of editors and of translators are omitted, save in exceptional cases. No cross-references are given from the names of joint authors, and books of composite authorship have not been analysed.
The system of classification and notation here employed is a modification of that devised by Mr. Melvil Dewey, which is in use in many libraries in all parts of the world. Certain alterations have been introduced, suggested by the publications of the Institut International de Bibliographie of Brussels, and the whole has been adapted to the special requirements of a Scottish Academic Library.
