Tlie labour and the patience, the judgment and the penetration, which are required to make a good Index, is only known
to those who liave gone through this most painful, but least-praised part of a publication. But laborious as it is, I think
it indispensably necessary, to manifest the treasures of any multifarious collection, facilitate the knowledge to those who
seek it, and invite them to make application thereof. Oldys.
