General Index Book , 1855 - 1868
Scope and Contents
Labelled 'General Index' and noted as 'begins 1855' this volume appears to be the first of two General Indexes, and is connected with Coll-203/A5/12. It is less structured with authors listed alphabetically, with their works listed below, then the number of the tract (series of bound Offprints). Created in 1855 the works included are not frequently dated as in Coll-203/A5/12, however appear to date from 1846 -1868. These two General Indexes (Coll-203/A5/1 and Coll-203/A5/12 are therefore the key to the authors and works that Lyell is reading and where that reading is bound into the bound Offprints.
