"It differs from the general encyclopedia in omitting facts and information which have no relation to the Church. On the other hand, it is not exclusively a church encyclopedia, nor is it limited to the ecclesiastical sciences and the doings of churchmen. It records all that Catholics have done, not only in behalf of charity and morals, but also for the intellectual and artistic development of mankind." Preface.

Authoritative work with long signed articles by specialists, good bibliographies and illustrations. Very useful for many questions on subjects in mediaeval literature, history, philosophy, art, etc., as well as for questions of Catholic doctrines, history, biography. The standard work in English, but for very full information often not so good as the great French Catholic works.

For ordinary purposes the most useful bibliographies in the field of the social sciences are the various "selected lists" issued by the Library of Congress and revised as needed. These contain references to the best book and periodical literature on their subjects and already cover about seventy different subjects, including such topics as child labor, parcels post, political parties, monetary question, trusts, tariff, etc. For a complete list of these bibliographies see the following:

Library of Congress. Publications issued by the library since 1897. Jan. 1915. Wash. Govt. print. off 1914. 50 p.

- Supplementary list. Jan. 1916. Wash. 1915. 6 p.

The New York public library has also published several valuable bibliographies on subjects in social science, including lists on bimetallism, constitutions, criminology, economic and social aspects of war, marriage and divorce, minimum wage, money and banking, political parties, political rights, government control of railroads, These lists, which are printed in the

etc.

Bulletin of the New York public library and reprinted as separates, are usually longer than the Library of Congress selected lists, and are very useful when full lists are wanted. For briefer lists the bibliographies given in the Debater's handbooks are often serviceable. See under Debates, p. 25.

Signed

The standard English work, including some general and foreign aspects of the subject, but largely limited to developments of economic study in England, America and the English colonies. articles by specialists, bibliographies. Useful and authoritative, but unfortunately not recently revised and so not up to date for recent topics and literature. First published 1894-96. The 1910 edition is a reprint, not a new edition, differing from the original edition only in having an appendix of new material, v. 3, p. 693-803. Libraries having the original edition can obtain the appendix, which is issued separately by the London house at 2s 6d. The first volume of a 1915 edition has been issued which con

tains the same supplement as the 1910, but differs from that edition by having cross references to the supplement incorporated in the main alphabet.
