Excerpt from A Contents-Subject Index to General and Periodical Literature Owing to the vast increase in the literary output of recent years. Considerable anxiety has been felt by librarians and others as to the possibility of keeping pace with such conditions, both in the additions to their stock of books and in the provision of adequate catalogues and other guides for the use of their readers. In the course of the discussion and controversy arising on these matters considerable attention has been directed to the question of Subject Indexes, and many valuable suggestions have been made, although as yet little has been effected with general literature, beyond giving the author and subject entries of the books. The Subject Index may be divided into two classes - the one referring to the main subject of a book or work, which is generally set forth upon its title-page the other to the contents of a work which are not apparent from its title and are rarely noted in an ordinary catalogue. Taken singly or individually it will be found that almost every work published in these days. Exclusive perhaps of prose fiction, gives not only a clear announce ment of its main subject on the title-page, but also a description of its contents, often carefully arranged under subject headings, either in a list of contents or an index.
