- Abstract
- Julia Pettee's claim to find in Thomas Hyde's 'Preface to the Bodleian catalogue of 1674' a formulation of the first principle of modern cataloguing stands up to the criticism of Eva Verona and Carolyn Frost. Her statement of that principle, 'that the cataloguer should recognise and assemble literary units under a single caption', faithfully summarises the common intent of the procedures described in Hyde's preface. Further, this principle should not be identified with the literary unit principle alone (a common misconception), but refers to the 2 interrelated principles of authorship and the literary unit. That Hyde 'formulated' these principles cab be defended only if we permit Pettee a certain latitude in her use of language.
