Excerpt from State Library Bulletin: Additions No. 3; September 1894 The field of knowledge is divided into nine main classes, and these are num bered by the digits, 1 to 9. Cyclopedias, periodicals, etc., so general in character as to belong to no one of these classes, are marked naught, and form a tenth class. Each class is similarly separated into nine divisions, general works belonging to no division having naught in place of the division number. Divisions are similarly divided into nine sections, and the process is repeated as often as necessary. Thus 512 means Class 5 (natural Science), Division 1 (mathematics), Section 2 (algebra), and every Algebra is num bered 512.
