To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if this is con- sidered a serious objection to the use of these atithorjiiai'ks, the difficulty can be entirely avoided by using two figures with the initial in all cases, treating them as ordinals, and when t\vo names are to be represented by the same combination, so that subdivision becomes necessary, starting a new series of ordinals either from 1 to 9, or from 11 to 99, by putting a point after the first two figures, e. G. , H21. 1, or H21. ]l. The sttipidest attend- ant could not fail ...to comprehend the order H34, H34. 1, H34. 2, H34. 3, H34. 4, and so on. As it would be awkward to use two decimal points (H34. 2. 1, H34. 2. 2), it wotild be well to use two figures after the decimal point in very large collections, as Fiction and Biography, thus, H34, H34. Li, H34. 12, H34. 13, etc. Of course this ordinal method does not allow infinite inter- calation. A time will come when some new name cannot be inserted in its proper order, because its number is alread}' occupied. But a notation consisting of an initial followed by fotir characters provides places for so mau}^ names that this misfortune will not occur soon or frequently.
