Any _additions_ needed to make the title clear are to be supplied and inclosed by brackets. (3b
Initial _capitals_ are to be given in _English_: (3c
to proper names of persons and personifications, places, bodies, noted events, and periods (each separate word not an article, conjunction, or preposition, may be capitalized in these cases); (3d
to adjectives and other derivatives from proper names when they have a direct reference to the person, place, etc., from which they are derived; (3e
to the first word of every sentence and of every quoted title; (3f
to titles of honor when standing instead of a proper name (_e. g._, the Earl of Derby, but John Stanley, earl of Derby); (3g
In _foreign_ languages, according to the local usage; (3h
In doubtful cases capitals are to be avoided. (3i
_Foreign languages._—Titles in foreign characters may be transliterated. The languages in which a book is written are to be stated when there are several, and the fact is not apparent from the title. (3j
[For the A. L. A. transliteration report, see pp. 108–114.]
After the title are to be given, in the following order, those in [ ] being optional:—
[and the _publisher’s_ name] (these three in the language of the title); (4c
the _year_ as given on the title-page, but in Arabic figures; (4d
[the year of copyright or actual publication, if known to be different, in brackets, and preceded by c. or p. as the case may be]; (4e
the number of _volumes_, or of pages if there is only one volume; (4f
[the number of _maps_, portraits, or illustrations not included in the text]; (4g
and either the approximate _size_ designated by letter (see _Library journal_, 3: 19–20), or the exact size in centimeters; (4h
the name of the _series_ to which the book belongs is to be given in parentheses after the other imprint entries. (4i
After the place of publication, the place of _printing_ maybe given if different. This is desirable only in rare and old books. (4j
The _number of pages_ is to be indicated by giving the last number of each paging, connecting the numbers by the sign ＋; the addition of unpaged matter may be shown by a ＋, or the number of pages ascertained by counting may be given in brackets. When there are more than three pagings, it is better to add them together and give the sum in brackets.
