honestly printed the date of publication. One could
almost wish that the Times, and every other publication,
would decline to review any book (within certain limits) that
has not an index ; for no author, speaking generally, who
writes a thousand pages of closely printed and perhaps valuable
matter, is justified in not providing his reader with
contents of chapters that he may see where he is going,
or with an index to show whence he has come.
Things are improving, however, in this respect, and
authors may be relieved of much tedious labour by placing
their works in the hands of professional index-makers.
There has been formed also a society, called the Index
Society, the object of which is to make and publish indexes
to valuable books now without them. The society has
already issued one or two valuable works, notably, “ A Guide
to the Literature of Botany,” and “ An Index to Titles of
Honour,” but for lack of funds it can do but little.
I gladly mention this in case any who read these lines
should be disposed to send the society help in money, or
the offer of honorary assistance in making indexes, or doing
anything towards the suggested bibliography of English
literature. Communications will be thankfully received by
the Secretary, Mr. W. T. Riseley, Offices of the Index Society,
8, John Street, Adelphi, London, W.C.
Meanwhile I append my bibliography, arranged chronologically.
