Table was the usual See also:English word, and See also:index was not thoroughly naturalized until the beginning of the 17th century, and even then it was usual to explain it as " index or table." By the See also:present English usage, according to which the word " table " is reserved for the See also:summary of the contents as they occur in a See also:book, and the word " index " for the arranged See also:analysis of the contents for the purpose of detailed reference, we obtain an See also:advantage not enjoyed in other See also:languages; for the See also:French table is used for both kinds, as is indite in See also:Italian and See also:Spanish. There is a See also:group of words each of which has its. distinct meaning but finds its respective See also:place under the See also:general heading of index See also:work; these are See also:calendar, See also:catalogue, See also:digest, See also:inventory, See also:register, summary, See also:syllabus and table.' The value of indexes was recognized in the earliest times, and many old books have full and admirably constructed ones, A See also:good index has sometimes kept a dull book alive by See also:reason of the value or amusing See also:character of its contents. See also:Carlyle referred to See also:Prynne's Histrio-Mastix as " a book still extant, but never more to be read by mortal "; but the index must have given amusement to many from the curious character of its entries, and See also:Attorney-General See also:Noy particularly alluded to it in his speech at Prynne's trial. Indexes have sometimes been used as vehicles of See also:satire, and the witty Dr See also:- WILLIAM

To serve its purpose well, an index to a book must be compiled with care, the references being placed under the heading that the reader is most likely to seek. An index should be one and indivisible, and not broken up into several alphabets; thus every work, whether in one or more volumes, ought to have its See also:complete index. The mode of arrangement calls for See also:special See also:attention; this may be either See also:chronological, alphabetical or according to classes, but See also:great confusion will be caused by uniting the three systems. The alphabetical arrangement is so See also:simple, convenient and easily understood that it has naturally superseded the other forms, See also:save in some exceptional cases. Much of the value of an index depends upon the mode in which it is printed, and every endeavour should be made to set it out with clearness. In old indexes the indexed word was not brought to the front, but was See also:left in its place in the See also:sentence, so that the alphabetical See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order was not made perceptible to the See also:eye. There are few points in which the printer is more likely to go wrong than in the use of marks 'of repetition, and many otherwise good indexes are full of the most perplexing cases of misapplication in this respect. The oft-quoted instance,
See also:- MILL
- MILL (O. Eng. mylen, later myln, or miln, adapted from the late Lat. molina, cf. Fr. moulin, from Lat. mola, a mill, molere, to grind; from the same root, mol, is derived " meal;" the word appears in other Teutonic languages, cf. Du. molen, Ger. muhle)

actually occurred in a catalogue. But in See also:modern times there
1 Another old word occasionally used in the sense of an index is " See also:pye." See also:Sir T. Duffus See also:Hardy, in some observations on the derivation of the word " Pye-Book " (which most probably comes from the Latin See also:pica), remarks that the earliest use he had noted of pye in this sense is dated 1547—" a Pye of all the names of such Balives as been to accompte See also:pro See also:anno regni regis Edwardi Sexti primo."
has been a great advance in the See also:art of indexing, especially since classes which were to be maintained in the See also:Trent Index:
the See also:foundation in 1877 in See also:England of the Index Society; and the growth of great See also:libraries has given a stimulus to this method of making it easy for readers and researchers to find a ready reference to the facts or discussions they require. Not only has it become almost a sine qua non that any good book must have its own index, but the art of indexing has been applied to those books which are really collections of books (such as the See also:Encyclopaedia Britannica), to a great newspaper like the See also:London Times, and to the cataloguing of great libraries themselves. The work in these more elaborate cases has been enormously facilitated by the modern devices by means of which See also:separate See also:cards are used, arranged in drawers and cases, See also:American enterprise in this direction having led the way. And the value of the work done in this respect by the Congressional Library at See also:Washington, the See also:British Museum and the London Library (notably by its Subject Index published in 1909) cannot well be exaggerated. (See also BIBLIOGRAPHY).
There are numerous books on Indexing, but the best for any one who wants to get a general See also:idea is H. B. See also:Wheatley's How to make an Index (1902).
