In the same category as commentaries come concordances, with some differences of opinion as to the necessity for giving the main-entry under the compiler's name or the author concordanced. The compiler is entitled to an acknowledgment of his work, although it is of the "scissors and paste" order of literature; it is, however, not a matter of great moment, as under any circumstances both entries are given. The following are illustrations:
ELLIS, F. S. A lexical concordance to the poetical works of Percy Bysshe Shelley. 1892 821.77 HUSBAND, M. F. A. A dictionary of the characters in the Waverley Novels of Sir Walter Scott. 1910 823.73
=Shelley, Percy B.=: Ellis, F. S. Concordance to the poetical works of Shelley. 1892 821.77
=Scott, Sir Walter=: Husband, M. F. A. Dictionary of the characters in the Waverley Novels. 1910 823.73
Newspapers, magazines, periodicals, reviews, directories, annuals, almanacks, and publications of like kind are also regarded as anonymous, and are given a first-word title-entry.
Newspapers of a general character published in London would be entered in British catalogues without any regard to the place of publication, as
Times, The. Daily Telegraph, The. Westminster Gazette, The. Illustrated London News, The.
and not as London Times, London Daily Telegraph, London Westminster Gazette, London News, Illustrated. Local papers, on the other hand, are entered under the name of the place, whether the name appears in their titles or not, as
Chelsea. West London Press. Manchester Guardian, The. Liverpool. Porcupine, The. Leeds Mercury, The.
The number of volumes and period covered should be given as well as any change of names the papers have undergone. The editors, even when known, pass unnoticed, and no general heading of "Newspapers" (or any other entry) is required except in the classified catalogue, where all newspapers fall into place under the heading--in the Dewey classification 072 (Newspapers--English).
Magazines and periodicals receive similar treatment, being entered under the first word of their distinctive titles, as
Athenæum, The. Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. Dublin Review, The. Nature. Review of Reviews, The. Spectator, The.
When newspapers, periodicals, or magazines change their titles without breaking the continuity of publication, retaining some connection between their old and new titles, the entries are given under the latest titles, with references from the earlier if required, as
