Publisher's Synopsis
"Mr. Clarke supplies a code of rules for different kinds of indexing work, and furnishes a long series of examples which should prove valuable to workers. It is undoubtedly the best work in English on a difficult subject, and we heartily recommend it to the notice of librarians and all who are in any way interested in the production and cataloguing of books and periodicals."-"Library World. "

"We can honestly recommend this work to all librarians and assistants who would be up-to-date in their methods-and to other men of affairs as well, for that matter." -"Library Assistant. "
"Mr. Leycester Clarke has been very successful in his desire to make this excellent manual somewhat of the nature of a guiding star to indexers in their very often complicated and difficult work. Judging from the plain and straightforward nature of his work, we feel sure that his efforts will be much appreciated by those who study this volume."-Mining Journal. "Mr. Clarke deals with his subject in the most comprehensive fashion, and his manual will be of the utmost service not only to literary men and librarians, but also to commercial men who wish to compile indexes of letters, addresses, or of catalogues. It is as complete and thorough a treatise on indexing as any one could possibly desire."- "Scotsman. "
"A simple concise exposition of indexing practice." -"Library Journal. "
