Sinopsis
Excerpt from Hints on and on Index Entries: With a Rough Vocabulary of Terms and Abbreviations, Chiefly From Catalogues, and Some Passages From Journeying Among Books
That nothing may be wanting, we owe to America the prettiest piece of satire on spelling reform. A periodical once bore conspicuously on its front the editor's name mangled out of all knowledge. Another periodical issuing from the same house of business had to make the name intelligible by means of the unregenerate Spelling.

Excerpt from Hints on and on Index Entries: With a Rough Vocabulary of Terms and Abbreviations, Chiefly From Catalogues, and Some Passages From Journeying Among Books
Some day, when cataloguing has become a recognised art, the proper medium between too fine theory and too coarse practice may be hit upon.
About a tenth part of the volume before the reader is occupied with the treatment of books from the private or possessor's point of view. Bearing in mind that every man may be said to own a library according to his means, this is well within the proportion. Very likely the space thus devoted will not seem to have any practical value. But an endeavour has been made that it shall be interesting apart from any possible value. Indeed, if the reader could know the pains which have been taken to render this section of "Catalogue titles" attractive, he would be amused. However, the writer has some confidence that the fun, the strange interest, the historical value, the beauty, the power -may, even the pathos, of which the passages laid before the reader are turn by turn the vehicle, will form an oasis amid the dry places about it. At all events, calling these garnishings to "a private library catalogue" has been to the writer that kind of refuge from maddening detail, and an opportunity of shadowing forth a theory of book illustration, that books may brighten one another by association, as people in company do. There has been especial pleasure in seizing upon pieces which minister to a love of one's country and to pride in its heroes.
Besides mere literary illustration, the writer has sought to fling about the private library catalogue a kind of humanity that shall in some sort clothe the bare bones of titles.
Our American cousins have brought a great amount of mechanism and invention to bear on getting people to "read," as if mere reading, any more than mere eating, would do people good, or as if inert or sluggish bodies could be galvanised into communion with immortal spirits. Indeed, one may be met, at any moment, by the question, "What is the good of books?" The British Working Man will tell you, that in towns where Free Libraries exist, women sit over the fire reading novels instead of doing their work. In the matter of science it may be objected that books do but show us the way to heal diseases which are the product of a bookish era. And, it is quite possible that the two or three inches of the book now before the reader which are given to a way of counteracting the evils of sedentary life, may be found more useful than all the rest of the letterpress, dealing as it does with an occupation which is among the most sedentary. It is a condition of the "treatment" that all books, newspapers, and writing shall be abstained from, and English companionship abjured.
I have been careful to speak of anything advanced in this work as a hint. I should like to think of the reading it as a species of conference between the reader and the writer; the reader, of course, being in the chair, with the casting vote. In actual practice directions come from the master. The writer hopes to help the young hand most efficiently to carry out the desires of him whom he serves, whatever may be the style of work desired.
