Excerpt from Journal of the Statistical Society: General Index to Volumes XXVI-XXXV (1863-72), In Continuation of the General Indexes to Volumes I-XV (1834-52) And XVI-XXV (1853-62)

The object which has been kept in view has been, not only to make the Index of the greatest possible use to all who may casually consult it, but also to render it a valuable work of reference to the Statistical Student, in which he may discover as many collateral or cognate facts as possible in illustration of the subject on which he is engaged; and may be assisted in those philosophical generalisations of which the science of Statistics is so peculiarly the foundation.

To achieve this end, in addition to the usual alphabetical arrangement of the subjects, a series of abstracts of the contents of each paper contained in the Journal has been introduced, which abstracts afford the means of seeing, almost at a glance, what each article contains. These abstracts will also be found to embrace many smaller matters of too indefinite a character to be easily placed under any fixed heading in a mere Alphabetical Index, but still of some importance in connection with the subject of which they form a part, though otherwise of little use from the want of that connecting link which alone gave them their value.
