_Lesson 1._ INTRODUCTION. THEORY. UTILITY. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TERMS. This lesson is intended to make clear to the student the derivation and meaning of the words bibliography and bibliographer, in their original and present use. The aims of bibliography. What is the ideal in bibliographical work? The different kinds of bibliographies in print. The standards of bibliographical work. The value and uses of bibliography in the library profession. Bibliographical terms. An index of the Latin names of towns in which printing was established during the fifteenth century, with their vernacular equivalents will be found on pp. _43-50_ of Peddie’s “Fifteenth-century books” and on pp. _163-172_ of Brown’s “Manual of practical bibliography.” _Note._--Such subjects as the histories of printing, paper-making, bookbinding, authorship, etc., do not come within the province of modern practical bibliography.
