Résumé :
Excerpt from Where to Find It: An Index to Sources of Information on All Subjects of General Interest

In this work it has been my aim to make it a complete guide to all subjects of study, covering almost the entire field of human activity. In other words, to help make accessible all the material on any particular subject. Obviously, the field to be covered is an exceedingly large one, and this must be brought within a book of less than the ordinary size. In order to save space, some of the earlier and redundant reference books have been omitted. It is therefore, upon the successful choosing of what is most necessary and suitable that the value of the work must largely depend.

In respect to arrangement, the reader will at once see that I have endeavored, by cross references, to unify and harmonize the whole. Related titles have in many cases been treated together, but it is believed that, by the complete system of cross references, this will not interfere with the utility of the book as a work of reference.

Great care has been taken in order that this edition may be useful. Not only to teachers, students, librarians, scientific and literary writers, professional men and business men, but as a general book of reference for all who want to be put readily in the way of keeping up to the date in the literature of their life's. Work.
