NOTE TO SECOND EDITION
Since the publication of the first edition ofthis book two or three readers have pointedout that it needs an index. By the additionof an index, they say, its value as a work ofreference would become almost wholly negligible.Impressed by the force of their remarks,I employed expert aid, and the index nowprinted at the end of the volume is the result.It was prepared by Miss Narcissa Bloom, anhonor graduate of the Philander Library School,and it may therefore be relied upon as theflower of modern library science.
