SIR,—II is proposed to form a Society of Indexers, and

the project has the full approval of the Pub- lishers' Association.

Its aims would include the following : (1) to im- prove the standard of book indexing and secure some measure of uniformity in its technique; (2) to provide a pool from which authors and publishers could draw experienced indexers; and (3) to communicate from time to time papers and notes on the subject.

If any of your readers who are interested will kindly get in touch with the undersigned Hon. Secretary pro tern., at 4 Fitzroy Street, London, WI (MUSeum 3786), they will be sent particulars of the proposed Society.—Yours faithfully,

G. NORMAN KNIGHT 4 Fitzroy Street, London, W1
