This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...but let first mention suffice if not exceeding the page, unless so interrupted by other subjects that later mention might be overlooked see page 19; for example, Roosevelt, Theodore, literary work, 175, 221-24, 245 Title cards, 97, 97', 98" Give each modification of the subject a separate slip.

The entry should begin at the extreme upper left edge of the slip, with every line following indented slightly, so that, in alpha-beting, the heading will readily catch the eye. The assistant indicates on the text by a check under the heading that the entry has been written, and places each slip as it is made behind those already in the tray, so that the entries will stand in order of occurrence, making " verifying' easy. In a long piece of work it is a good plan to put the cross reference slips in a separate tray. If alphabeted occasionally, reference to them is easy and prevents making extra slips when a cross reference already made is called for on subsequent proofs. Such separation also greatly facilitates comparison in editing. VERIFYING The indexer, at frequent intervals unless the index is very short, should verify the slips, whether they have been written by himself or an assistant, by carefully comparing each...
