PHILOLOGY 
423 Lexicology Dictionaries Idioms 
.I Idioms .2 English .3 German, etc. Put a dictionary of two 
languages with the less known language. Under 423 put only English. 
English dictionaries. Put an English-French dictionary with French, 
443.2; a French-Latin dictionary with Latin, 473.4. If in several 
languages, put with 413, or with least known. Put French-French 
dictionaries 443, not 443.4, so that the standard home dictionaries shall 
come first in each language. This plan brings together under each of 
the less known, all the dictionaries for translating either into or from 
that language. Some prefer to put each dictionary under the first 
language; i. e. that by which it is alfabeted. This gives under each 
language, regardless of its familiarity, all dictionaries for translating 
from it, but none for translating ¢mlo it. These must be sought under 
the language from which the translation is to be made. For a cosmo- 
politan library this plan is simplest and best; but in an English library, 
the first plan, with only English dictionaries in 423, and both ix and 
out dictionaries together under little known tungs fs more convenient.
