a It has been suggested that it would be convenient if the words illustrative of certain
special subjects were grouped together under general heads. For Architecture, Armour,
Cookery, Dress, the Fauna and Flora with which the author seems to have been con-
versant, and some other subjects, this Index supplies means of reference, not only to the
notes, but also to most of the kindred words occurring in the Promptorium under
each class respectively, but to which only brief allusion, if any, will be found in the Notes.
