(Princeton) ISSUED BY AUTHORS PRESS NEW YORK t^ ii FOREWORD History, that with their many subdivisions form indexes within the index, as it were. The items under each entry are classified, so far as possible, according to similarity, and are arranged in the order in which the stories to which they refer appear in the Manual. This enables an investigator of a particular subject. Ethics for ex- ample, to run through the analyses in their page order, departing from it only when two stories in different parts of the book are entered side by side in the index as treating of the same phase of the subject.
