"Pending the preparation of a consolidated index to the 30 volumes of the Collections, this list of subjects and authors have been made. In the arrangement of the work it has seemed advisable to make an index of subjects as well as titles. For practical purposes the present work will be found valuable in cases where names are not the object of the search, and where the searcher is reasonably familiar with the subject he is investigating, so that he has some knowledge of where the his material is likely to be found."
