INDEX

The intelligent use of an index requires careful thought and practice upon the part of the reader or consulter. Many books are over-indexed, and trifling allusions, or even words, made to swell the index. It is obvious, therefore, that a book of moderate compass should use only sufficient space to reveal the important general subjects treated. Besides the general index, the following self-indexing dictionaries and departments should be consulted:
