Indexing

There are occasional clues that the publishers were conscious that indexing was a problem to be thought about; what indexes should be provided, and how they should be arranged. Two examples of explanations:-



INDEX / TO ESSAYS, DISSERTATIONS, and HISTORICAL PASSAGES. / [three stars] All the Leading Names of the OBITUARY are distinctly entered in the / "Index to the Essays."



The obituaries are frequently long essays. Having checked a couple, but only a couple, the names are duplicated in essay and name indexes.
INDEX TO NAMES. / [three stars] The Names of Persons noticed in the "Compendium of County History," are not included in this Index.
Clearly it was felt that the compendium entries would 'clog up' the name index.
