Cataloging: Final Project - Catalog Records : Condition of the Working Class in England

For this assignment, I had to catalog a non-fiction book, starting with the RDA Template, and encode it in MARC. I chose Condition of the Working Class in England, as I have a limited number of non-fiction books in my collection. I lost a few points because of a 400 field, as well as a few encoding mistakes. I put notes for my instructor in parenthesis and blue.

Other Pertinent Information
LCC: HD8389 .E54 1993 (these call numbers are for “working classes” “in England” “through 1848.” As this book was originally published in 1845, I thought it best. I Cuttered it for Engels.)
DDC: 305.5620942733 (that’s the Dewey of “Working classes” “in England” and tabled for Manchester City; I didn’t know it could get that specific…)
Summary: The Condition of the Working Class is the best-known work of Engels, and in many ways still the best study of the working class in Victorian England. It was Engel’s first book, written during his stay in Manchester from 1842-1844, compiled from his observations and detailed contemporary reports. The fluency of his writing, the personal nature of his insights, and his talent for mordant satire combine to make this account of the life and victims of early industrial change into a classic historical study that parallels and complements the fictional works of the time by writers such as Gaskell and Dickens.
