Abstract

Reprints of two early texts on indexing by Frederick Howard Collins: 'Making of an index' from the 2nd ed. of Charkes T. Jacobi's 'Some notes on books and printing: a guide for authors and others (1902)' and 'Subject indexes: some principles which underlie them' prepared for the Royal Society in 1986 for participants in a conference on an International Catalogue of Science. Michael Robertson has edited the texts and provides a background to them
