valuable book of reference. This is an age of bibliographies, but we
need more bibliographies prepared, as this is, by specialists who are

plan here pursued involves a discussion of methodology, statement of
problems, subdivision of topics, and a classified and annotated bibliog-
raphy under each of the general heads." Nation, 1899.
