NOTICE.

The foregoing Catalogue supersedes all lists previously issued; upon comparison a considerable reduction in the price of most of the articles mentioned will be noticed, which increased manufacturing facilities have enabled me to make.

Ja The designation by numbers (No.) of the several articles in this Catalogue is an arbitrary one and is made for the purpose of enabling customers to be precise in ordering.

However extensive this Catalogue, it comprises only a part of my stock of Kindergarten Gifts, Occupation Material, Furniture, etc. Many kindred articles are on hand, and new additions are continually being produced as fast as circumstances permit to carry out my plans and desires of promoting whatever tends to the development and popularization of the Kindergarten System.

J An enlarged edition of the present Catalogue is already in preparation; it will be issued shortly, and sent free to all persons desiring to receive it.

October, 1878.

SUBJECT-INDEX

TO THE

BOOKS AND OTHER ARTICLES ENUMERATED ON THE PRECEDING PAGES.

NOTE. -The arrangement of this Index will appear at a glance to differ essentially from the method
usually adopted just as the "expository cataloguing" exemplified on part of the pages 151 to 273 is also likely
to prove new to many readers. The aim has been to mention every thing under special headings and popular
names, rather than under general and scientific terms.

[ocr errors]

Thus the book How to Write Clearly" (p. 207) has been indexed under Writing English, and "How to Parse"
(p. 207) will be found under Parsing, because while Writing and Parsing may, or may not, be treated of
at length in some of the English Grammars published, none of them teach these particulars so specifically as
do the two books above named.

Principles of Decorative Design (p. 155, Dresser) is indexed under both Decoration and Design, and not under
the non-committal heading of Art. It is thought that this manner of specializing will prove of real practical
value to the general reader, while others will experience no difficulty in coming to the conclusion that certain
special matters are sure to be similarly treated of like the two instances above cited in books which are
here indexed only under other and more general subjects.

This Index having been prepared from the titles alone (without any inspection of the books themselves,
no claim can be made as to its being correct and exhaustive, or even uniform and consistent in all its parts.
In accordance with the wording of the titles, synonymous matters appear, in many cases, at different places
(as e. g. Apparatus [Botanical] and Botanical Apparatus), while cross-references and comparisons of the
enumeration under analogous headings have mostly been omitted in the belief that this imperfect state will call
forth more suggestions for the improvement of the plan, especially on the part of publishers and authors
interested, than if this sample had left nothing to be desired-a goal not likely to be speedily reached.

This plan, also, allows books to appear with their titles correctly and distinctly given, and will not
make it necessary to distort the real title of a book, simply to give prominence to a leading catch-word. A book
can thus be enumerated in the advertisement, e. g., as "A First Sketch of English Literature" (p. 155, Morley),
and not English Literature, a First Sketch of," or, "The Elements of Building Construction and Architectural
Drawing" (p. 155, Davidson), instead of “Building Construction, the Elements of, and Architectural Drawing.”.
