Indexing

For this volume, and a number of succeeding volumes, the index to essays etc was split in two; an index to essays etc, and an index to occurences. It presumably became increasingly hard to distinguish the categories and the separate concept was abandonned. In this experiment and a trial of more precise name indexing about 1767, it can be seen that the editor/s were actively exploring how indexing might be useful to the reader.
