Excerpt from Canons of Classification Applied to the Subject, the Expansive, the Decimal and the Library of Congress Classifications: A Study in Bibliographical Classification Method I do not think the above examination is an easy one, but I am convinced that most Of the problems of theoretical classification are contained in it and the student who in four hours can compass the questions satisfactorily, without reference to his text-books, has a fair chance of satisfying even a rigorous examiner.
