Excerpt from A Biographical Index to the History of England: Consisting of an Alphabetical Arrangement of All the Titles and Proper Names of Persons in Hume's History of England; With Biographical Articles Attached

In view of these embarrassments, the author resolved on preparing, for his own use, a manuscript list of all the titles and proper names of persons in Hume's History, with references to the various works, volumes, and pages, in which they appear. After proceeding with this labor for a few months, he was persuaded to prepare it with an eye to publication, that others might have the benefit of it. This, however, he soon saw, could never be of any general utility, as comparatively few would ever be at the trouble of examining such a work with sufficient care to reap any material benefit from it. After mature deliberation, therefore, he resolved on throwing it into the form of a. Biographical Dictionary and in this form it is now pre sented, though with the original title.
