_Encyclopædia of Indexes, or Table of Contents_ (Vol. ix., p. 371.).--Your

correspondent THINKS I TO MYSELF inquires respecting the desirableness and

practicability of forming an "Encyclopædia of Indexes, or Tables of

Contents." It was to meet this want (which is very commonly felt) that the

publication of the _Cyclopædia Bibliographica_ was undertaken. The work has

met your approval, and I have the pleasure of announcing that the volume

will be completed on June 1. I think it will meet the desire of your

correspondent and many others, who, "in reading up on any subject, wish to

know whether any author treats upon it, without being obliged to examine

his works, at a great expense of time and labour."
