DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION 
Table 2-— Form divisions 
The form distinctions o1, Philosofy; 02, Compends; 03, Dictionaries; 04, Essays; os, Periodicals; 06 
Societies; 07, Study and Teaching; 08, Polygrafy, Collectiv works; 09, History, can be used wheres 
needed if these numbers ar not alredy employd with other significations. They hav been printed in 
the full tables only where they seemd specially needed. 
The following is an alfabetic list of these divisions, and the figures prefixt should be added to the num- 
ber of the subject to be subdivided; e. g. Disputations on Chemistry in general 540.4; Dictionaries of 
Mining’ 622.03.

Table 3 — Languajes 
The table below includes all individual languajes given a distinct number in the classification, but not 
some groups not yet subdivided (e. g. 407 North American Indians) nor some languajes named as part of 
a group which may be subdivided later. 
Any languaj in this table may be subdivided like 420, English. 
Any philolojic topic in the index may be.transferd to another languaj by replacing the initial figures 
of the languaj, as found in this table, by those of the 2d languaj also found here; e. g. Syntax, English 
languaj, in the index is 425.2. .In this table, English is 42 and French is 44; replacing the 42 by 44 gives 
445.2 French syntax. Hebrew is 492.4, and Hebrew syntax is 492.452. 
A 3d way to subdivide the languaj is to prefix the languaj figures.as given inthis table, to the philolojic 
numbers given in Table 4. 
All 3 methods give the same result.
