Each section of the Library is again subdivided to the second 

 letter. The present catalogue embraces only the sections K and L, 

 which are subdivided as follows : 



By this arrangement we collect together all the books on the 

 shelves relating to any part of the subject. The authors' numbers 

 are in keeping with the key given in "The Cutter-Sanborn alpha- 

 betic-order table." 



By this system, any one knowing the author and subject of a 

 book can find it on the shelves without even consulting the cata- 

 logue. Thus, in looking up Babington's Manual of British botany, 

 knowing the book is in section L. of English Botany, if you refer 

 to the shelf in that section, following the index letters to B you 

 will find the nine editions under the initial serially arranged. If 

 you want a special subject, for instance the Flora of Middlesex 

 County, in the section LC. you will find all the books we have on 

 the subject brought together. 



We believe that the system we have adopted for the Lloyd 

 Library is the most convenient and practical that has been devised 

 and is capable of indefinite expansion without derangement.
