"Classification Theoretical And Practical" by Ernest Cushing Richardson offers a comprehensive exploration of the principles and practices of classification systems, essential for organizing knowledge and managing libraries. This volume delves into the theoretical underpinnings of classification while providing practical guidance for implementation. The inclusion of "An Essay Towards A Bibliographical History Of Systems Of Classifications" enriches the reader's understanding of the evolution and historical context of these systems.
Further sections on "The Order Of The Sciences" and "Classification Of Books" provide detailed insights into the structuring of knowledge domains and the specific challenges of classifying books. This work is invaluable for library science students, professionals, and anyone interested in the theoretical and practical aspects of organizing information.
