BIBLIOGRAPHY
Introduction
The following bibliography contains with some
exceptions only those published items that were deemed of
special significance.
Letter, reports, and other documents
available only in manuscript form are usually cited (according to their depository locations) only in the footnotes.
A few such documents from the Boston Athenaeum have proved
to be of such high value, however, that they have been
included here in a special section, arranged chronologically.
A complete list of depositories is included in the Preface.
American Library Association conference discussions are
omitted.
Because of their great number, the fact that
most of them are cited only once, and their lack of distinctiveness unless titles were supplied, it has been
deemed sufficient to cite them only in the footnotes with
a full reference to their Library Journal location in each
instance.
Other items, cited only because of their use-
fulness in corroborating Cutter's activities, are also
omitted.
With regard to published items, four factors should
be taken into account.
eral divisions:
Other Authors.
First, they are arranged in two gen-
Works by Charles Ammi Cutter, and Works by
The works by Cutter are themselves
8S8
859
subarranged in four divisions:
(1)
Items in which Cutter
is listed as the editor, compiler or translator after a
main entry consisting of another person or institution.
(2) Items written in collaboration with other authors.
(3) Articles, books, notes, notices, reports and reviews
written by Cutter himself.
(4) Library Journal editorials
written by Cutter and cited in this study.
Second, anyone attempting to list Cutter's works
has to contend with a problem of anonymity.
Almost all of
Cutter's contributions to the Nation are unsigned.
The
problem of identifying them has been partially resolved by
the use of Daniel Haskell's The Nation:
1865-1917.
Volumes
1-105,
Indexes of Titles and Contributors (New York:
The New York Public Library, 1951).
In the present bib-
liography, Cutter's Nation items not otherwise annotated
should be understood to be listed in the Haskell work.
But
Haskell's list, based on the account books of the Nation,
is not all-inclusive, particularly for the years before
1873 and after 1883.
His list of eighty-seven items
attributable to Cutter does not do justice to what amounted
to almost thirty-five years of continuous library reporting
on Cutter's part
(£!. 1868-1903).
Fortunately, some help in identifying other Cutter
contributions to the Nation has come from the Library
Journal.
Cutter was responsible for the library bibliog-
raphies and the indexing in the Library Journal from 1876
to 1893.
Sometimes he wrote notices of his anonymous
860
Nation contributions and cited them as his own in the
Library Journal indexes to individual volumes.
Nation
items confirmed as his in this manner are followed by the
symbol (LJ).
In the same manner, Nation items confirmed
by index entries in Poole's Index to Periodical Literature
are followed by the symbol (PI) with the year of its coverage (e.g., PI-1882).
In addition, one item has been con-
firmed through a reference in a personal letter.
Finally,
four items, not absolutely identified but highly probable
as Cutter's, are also included, the evidence given in the
footnotes when cited.
Cutter's Library Journal editorials are also unsigned.
Because Richard R. Bowker is listed as the gen-
eral editor during the years of Cutter's editorship (18811893), one might assume that the editorials came from his
hand.
Other evidence, both internal and external, points,
however, to Cutter's authorship.
Editorials by their
nature deal with the issues of the day and especially with
matters contained in the current issues of the periodical.
The subject matter, point of view, and writing style of
the editorials during Cutter's years all point to his
authorship.
Point of view and style are especially indic-
ative when one compares the editorials as a group with Cutter's other confirmed articles, both in the Library Journal
and in the Nation.
same conclusion.
External evidence also leads one to the
Letters between Richard R. Bowker and
Cutter in the Bowker Papers at the New York Public Library
861
and between Melvil Dewey and Cutter in the Dewey Papers
at Columbia University constantly reiterate Cutter's role
as the editor of the literary contents of the periodical.
Bowker did contribute occasional editorials, but his are
signed, leading one to believe that he did so to demonstrate that his contributions were the exception rather
than the rule.
The profession as a whole seems to have
been aware of this difference.
In addition, Bowker, busy
in a great many other ventures and not so close to the
library field as the editorial content demanded, was often
absent from his office on extended trips.
One could sup-
pose that he would not himself have been either willing
or able to write on the wide variety of topics that are
represented in the editorials with an ease and facility
of expression that are otherwise. Cutter's trademark.
Finally, when Cutter did absent himself in 1893 during
the periods April-June and October-December, his correspondence with Bowker shows that he was careful to get
much of the material to Bowker in advance.
When he failed
to do so, Bowker seems to have been somewhat at a loss.
There is also a problem of anonymity in Cutter's
contributions to American Library Association committee reports.
Cutter chaired a significant number of committees,
especially between 1876 and 1885.
Although it is quite
likely that he by himself wrote a large portion of the
reports, because of the corporate nature of the committee
work, these have been listed in Works by Other Authors
862
under their appropriate headings for the American Library
Association.
His relationship to the committees and the
particular reports is given in the text and the footnotes.
A third factor to be noted, also having to do with
Cutter's works, concerns completeness.
The list contains,
of course, only those works cited in this study.
It ap-
proaches completeness only in that all of Cutter's major
writings in book form and most of his major articles and
communications in the Library Journal are listed.
Cita-
tions from the Nation come from thirty-two items, most of
those concerning library matters and only a few on other
literary topics.
This represents only a small percentage
of his total contribution there.
Also, the majority of
Cutter's many editorial insertions at the ends of other
authors' articles or in the Bibliography section of the
Library Journal have been omitted from this list unless
especially significant.
This has been done for the same
reasons as those given above concerning American Library
Association conference discussions.
A fourth and final factor concerning the total list
is that many of the short periodical items by Cutter and
other authors have no titles.
They often appeared as run-
ning comments in larger sections.
For example, many of
Cutter's Nation items are simply long paragraphs in the
general section entitled "Literary Notices."
Therefore,
when necessary for distinctiveness, titles have been supplied and placed in brackets in this list.

Boston Athenaeum Manuscripts
Letter, Charles A. Cutter to Charles Deane, November 21,
1868.

for information on Cutter's pre-Athenaeum library
activities and early thoughts on librarianship.

"Report of the Librarian on Printing the Catalogue,"
[ Ma rc h , 1870? ] •
Cutter's second report on the catalog project,
in which he gave an explicit list of matters
remaining to be completed and a timetable for
doing them. As a result, Cutter was placed in
direct charge of the project.
"To the Library Committee," December 18, 1871.
Cutter's report on his progress toward
printing the catalog and his reasons why it would
be delayed. The report has special significance
in that at this point Cutter still hoped to
include specific-to-general cross-references in
the subject system. The report appears to lack
some pages, but that does not diminish its importance in explaining Cutter's earlier thinking on
the dictionary catalog subject system.
"Decennial Report of the Librarian, January, 1879."
A review of ten years of progress at the
Athenaeum. Published in the Boston Daily Advertiser, January 16, 1879 under the title,
"Boston Athenaeum; A Review of the Past Decade."
"Report of the Librarian for 1879." [January, l880J.
Having set a precedent with his first extensive report the previous year, Cutter apparently thought to continue the practice. In this
report he discussed how the two sizable bequests
of 1879 could be used and explained the extensive
changes taking place at the Athenaeum with respect to circulation procedures and shelf classification. The date in brackets is the month in
which he delivered the report to the Library
864
Committee, just prior to the annual meeting of
the proprietors. This report was published as

Cutter's third annual report, submitted in
January, 1881.
"Annual Report of the Librarian [for 1881J."
Cutterls fourth and final annual report,
submitted in February, 1882. Beginning in 1882
the annual meeting of the proprietors was moved
to February. The shortness of this report is
probably because first, he had little new to
report except the completion of the catalog;
second, he was very busy with reclassification
and the Library Journal; and third, changes
slowly overtaking the Trustee Board and Library
Committee made his report less desirable. At
any rate, he subsequently made no more reports.
