INTRODUCTION
This Supplement is designed to supply a double need: it furnishes ananalytical index to the entire series of twenty volumes; and it affordsa great deal of additional information, bearing on the subject-matter ofthese volumes, but which from its very nature it was impossible toincorporate in the text.

For convenienceof reference, it has been deemed preferable to group the manuscriptsources under general headings, and print the list as a separate sectionin the volume.
In the preparation of the bibliographical references, the object hasbeen to include only those works that have
