Abstract
THIS Index was commenced in 1915 as a successor to Pooles Index, which had ceased some years earlier. The present volume sets out to arrange alphabetically by subjects the more important articles in some 600 periodicals, mainly in the English language. and of a general character, covering the principal English scientific and technical periodicals, but excluding most of the specialist and semi-technical periodicals and foreign scientific and technical journals. The Index caters only for such inquiries as may be expected to confront a general librarian. From this point of view it is very well done, the get-up is excellent in every way, and, considering the labour of compilation, which is only to be comprehended by those who have under- taken similar work, the price is not high.
