The following index to this translation of "_Der Einzige und sein
Eigentum_" is intended to help one, after reading the book, to find a
passage which he remembers. It is not a concordance to aid in analytical
study. Hence the designations of the matter referred to are in a form
intended to be recognized by the person who remembers the passage; I
have generally preferred, so far as convenience permitted, to use the
words of the text itself, being confident that a description of the
subject-matter in words more appropriate to the summary form of the
index would never help any person to find his passage. If the
designations are recognizable, I have permitted them to be rough.
Of necessity the index has been made hastily, and I hereby confess it to
be guilty of all the faults that an index can possess, though I hope
that the page numbers will prove to be accurate. The faults that I am
most ashamed of are the incompleteness which usually omits the shorter
occurrences of a given word or idea and the indefiniteness of the "ff."
which does not tell the reader how far the reference extends. It has
actually not been in my power to avoid either of these faults, and I
hope they will not prevent the index from being of very considerable use
to those who pay continued attention to the book. These two faults will
be found least noticeable in the references to proper names and
quotations: therefore the reader who wants to find a passage will do
best to remember, if possible, a conspicuous proper name or a quotation
whose source is known--perhaps oftenest from the Bible--and look up his
passage by that. In the indexing of quotations, however, I have omitted
anonymous proverbs, lines of German hymns, and quotations of whose
authorship I was (whether pardonably or unpardonably) ignorant.
The abbreviations are: ftn., "footnote"; f., "and next page"; ff., "and
following pages."
