One should acknowledge that G.B. does collocate four copies (of
apparently the same edition), and not only that, it also
lists a few related works and references. But did they really,
intentionally digitize four copies (Harvard, twice Michigan, NYPL)?
There is no pointer to the 1891 (or any other) edition which you find
further down the list when searching for   cutter catalog rules
When searching explicitly for
    cutter "rules for a dictionary catalog"
only the 1904 edition (4 copies) is brought up on top, other
editions by the very same title don't appear on that 640 item list.
You add the year  1891  and get a list of 93 entries, the
1891 edition appears only on the second page. The exact title,
IOW, apparently doesn't figure in the ranking.
