About the Book
Excerpt from General Index to the Edinburgh Review, From the Fifty-First to the Eightieth Volumes, Inclusive: April, 1830-October, 1844 The Third General Index to the Edinburgh Review comprises the Volumes between Fifty-one and Eighty. It has been compiled on the same plan as the Second - in the analysis of the articles, in their subdivision under their various heads, and in the references to the incidental matter which each article contains. A few new features, not to be found in any other Index, have been added, which the Compiler trusts will be consif dered of utility: These may be briefly stated st, The substantiating of the dates of the events indexed, which, in a general summary, are often left out, or so vaguely stated as to make it difficult to ascertain the date on referring to the article. 2d. The Christian names of the individuals mentioned, their titles, the year in which they were born, and that in which they died, are given. This has been done especially with the view of discriminating between the members of those families who have taken a prominent part in the political affairs of the British empire. Thus the families of Grey, Bedford, Carlisle, Norfolk, Newcastle, Pitt, or Wal pole, instead of being classed under one'head, are so particularised that the historical events with which they were severally connected are kept quite distinct, and all ambiguity is thus avoided. The family names of those individuals who have been afterwards ennobled, or of younger branches of the nobility whose titles of courtesy are given, will also be found under their respective heads. Thus the Newcastle family are also inserted under Pelham, the Grey family under Howick, Carlisle under Morpeth, Pitt under Chatham, Orford under Walpole, Oxford under Hartley, and so on. 3d. The geographical positions of kingdoms, cities, towns, and places mentioned, are also stated. 4th. The Political measures of the times, will be found generally under Whigs and Tories, and the great leaders of the parties, as Peel, Grey, Brougham, Russell, Wellington, &c. 5th; The Financial measures are under their proper heads-such as, Corn Laws, Finance, Free Trade, Manufactures, Tariff, &c. These additions will, it is believed, obviate the immediate necessity of consulting other authorities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
