First edition was published, in 3 Vols., 1768–1771, and the eleventh edition, in 29 Vols., 1910–1911. The Index issued by the Cambridge University Press, 1911, and the Indexes to the Catalogue of the Wheeler Gift, have served as a guide for the Index to this Bibliographical History, which will be found to embrace all names of individuals and of publications likely to prove of service to the general reader. It must be conceded that “the value of any Index depends to a large extent on the fulness of its cross-references,” and it will be seen that our own Index has not only been made upon an unusually extensive scale, but that the new “encyclopædic system of alphabetization” has likewise been closely followed along the lines adopted by the publishers of the Eleventh “Britannica,” wherever found practicable.
