Excerpt from Iconographic Encyclopædia of Science, Literature, and Art, Vol. 1 of 4Tables of Contents and Indexes have been prepared for each volume, and no pains have been spared to make these more than usually accurate. The indexes do not refer to words merely, but to facts and ideas, so that the text can be readily consulted upon any given topic. The lists of the figures on the plates will be found under the contents of the text which they are intended to elucidate, with references to the pages in the letter~press Where explanations may be looked for. They furnish an immediate explanation of any figure that may arrest the eye.' A glossary of the German terms and phrases used in a few of the plates is also added to these lists. It would undoubtedly have been more convenient if the few plates which have caused the necessity of such translations, had been re-engraved in English, but the expense of doing so would have more than doubled the price of the work, whose unparalleled cheapness could only be secured by a liberal contract for impressions from the excellent German plates.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
