FOOTNOTES:
[1] _Rosamond’s Epistle_, lines 103-4.
[2] “Etiam vellem mihi mittas de tuis librariolis duos aliquos, quibus Tyrannio utatur glutinatoribus, ad cetera administres: iisque imperes ut sumant membranulam, ex qua _indices_ fiant, quos vos Græci (ut opinor) συλλάβους appellatis.”--Ad. Atticum lib. iv. ep. 4.
[3] _Discoveries_, ed. 1640, p. 93.
[4] I would here, under cover of our great poet’s name, protest against the use of the plural _indices_. As long as a word continues to take the plural form of the language from which it is borrowed, we cannot look upon it as thoroughly naturalized. Surely Index may be considered an English word when it was treated as such by Shakespeare.
[5] My friend Mr. Furnivall draws my attention to the fact that Fleming was the index-maker of Shakespeare’s day as Philemon Holland was the translator.
[6] Some in the present day seem to be of the same opinion as Baret, for we occasionally hear of an _Index Rerum_ instead of an _Index of Subjects_.
[7] Another word occasionally used in the sense of an Index is _Pye_, which has been supposed to be derived from the Greek Πίναξ. The late Sir T. Duffus Hardy, in some observations on the derivation of the word “Pye-Book,” remarks that the earliest use he had noted of _pye_ in this sense is dated 1547--“A Pye of all the names of such Balives as been to accompte pro anno regni regis Edwardi Sexti primo.”--Appendix to the 35th Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records, p. 195.
[8] Noy calls it an Index, but Prynne, in conformity with the usual practice, writes _Table_.
[9] The book was published six weeks before Henrietta Maria acted in a pastoral at Somerset House, so that the passage “women actors notorious whores” could not have been intended to allude to the Queen. See Cobbett’s “State Trials,” vol. 3, coll. 561-586.
[10] This is the last entry but one in the index, and I cannot resist the pleasure of adding in a note the passage here indexed:--
“I’m willin a man should go tollable strong Agin wrong in the abstract, for that kind o’ wrong Is ollers unpop’lar an’ never gits pit’ed, Because it’s a crime no one never committed.”
[11] “Idcirco celebris quidam scriptor nostræ gentis, quò significaret eam curam ejus esse debere, cujus cura opus ipsum constitit, urbane, salseque ajebat, Indicem libri ab authore, librum ipsum à quovis alio conficiendum esse.”--Nicolaus Antonius, Bibliotheca Hispana, 1672, tom. 2, p. 371.
[12] “M. Bochart ... me prioit surtout d’y faire [i.e. his Diogenes Laertius] un _Index_, étant, disoit-il, l’âme des gros livres.”--_Menagiana_, Paris, 1729, tome i. p. 75.

[18] I searched in vain for the date of the first edition of the _Gradus_, until I was so fortunate as to find it in the valuable article on “Dictionaries” in the new edition of the _Encyclopædia Britannica_. Little information was to be obtained from the British Museum Catalogue, owing to the complicated arrangement of the anonymous books. I looked into the new General Catalogue under the heading _Parnassus_, where the book should have been entered according to the rules, and there was only one edition of the present century. I then turned to _Gradus_, and there was a reference to an edition by Valpy. I knew that there must be some earlier edition, so I went to the old General Catalogue and there I at once found among others an “editio novissima” (Coloniæ Agrippinæ, 1687). When the book was in my hands I noticed that it was marked to be catalogued under the heading of “Dictionaries,” where I venture to think few would look for it. This experience is related here as a good illustration of the inconvenience of classification in an Alphabetical Catalogue.

[27] “The Rushworths, Whitlockes, Nalsons, Thurloes; enormous folios, these and many others have been printed, and some of them again printed, but never yet edited,--edited as you edit wagon-loads of broken bricks and dry mortar simply by tumbling up the wagon! Not one of those monstrous old volumes has so much as an available Index. It is the general rule of editing on this matter. If your editor correct the press, it is an honourable distinction.”--_Carlyle’s Introduction to Cromwell’s Letters and Speeches._

[35] A friend asks me to give chapter and verse for this blunder, but it will be seen that nothing is more difficult than to find an authority for misprints which are corrected as soon as they are found out, perhaps even in the proof. A curious misprint occurred in _The Times_ in a letter from Lord Shaftesbury (August, 1878), who wrote of the Bulgarians that “they panted for liberty,” but was made by the printer to say “they prated of liberty.”
[36] See Rule 11, p. 72.

[38] My brother (Mr. B. R. Wheatley) writes as follows of Allibone’s forty Indexes: “What however shall we say of the sub-indexes which really have no existence whatever, except in the list of their titles at the commencement? Take, for instance, the first--Alchemy--which refers you to Class or Index 8, which is Chemistry. How much nearer are you to Alchemy?--it is a more secret science in the Index than it was in the middle ages--you have 500 names under Chemistry, and you must look out the whole of them before you find the philosopher’s stone which lies hid in this five-century crucible of mixed ingredients.”--Trans. Conference of Librarians, 1877.
