CONCORDANCES OF ENGLISH
AUTHORS.
I HAVE asked and obtained permission from Prof. Charles G. Osgood, Secretary, of Prince- ton, New Jersey, to reprint (with slight changes) the list of Concordances which he issued as a part of Circular No. 7 of the Concordance Society. My changes are in the main intended to correct the list to date. It will be observed that I have not included the titles of works like Miss Lockwood's excellent Milton ' Lexicon ' ; and where there is more than one Concordance of the same poet, only the title of the better or best is recorded. It is to be hoped for the con- venience of the many readers who make inquiry for the sources of quotations that these books will find their way into every library of importance.
