Abstract
This is a longer version, with additional material, of the biography contributed to the Introductory Volume of the new (2nd) edition of the Bibliographic Classification, the first parts of which should appear this year. It goes into Bliss's private as well as his professional life and shows for the first time in print the reasons why he devoted himself first to librarianship, and later to a life of scholarship, particularly to the study of classification and the production of an entirely new general scheme.
