List of plates

  list of plates
  directions to the binder

Many volumes of the magazine have a list of plates, sometimes near the front, sometimes at the end or between two of the indexes. The list is sometimes quite simple, in the example below it is more elaborate; in some issues the list is in alphabetical order, acting as an index to the illustrations.



This list is explicitly 'Directions to the Binder'; and notice the mention of the volume title page and preface, which were supplied along with the supplement - perhaps the excuse for having a supplement.
