Using This Index

Arrangement of entries Entries are arranged in letter-by-letter alphabetical order, i.e. spaces between words are ignored. Thus the entry 'Kingdom of Tamburlaine, precedes 'King Lucid'. Abbreviations are indexed as written (i.e. 'Mr' follows all 'Mo-' entries and precedes all 'Mu-' entries) with two exceptions: 'St' is indexed as if spelt out as 'Saint', and 'Mac' and its variations are all treated as if spelt 'Mac'.

Use of italics Entries in italics are titles — either of articles in The Spectator or of books, magazines and newspapers or of plays, films, operas, ballets, exhibitions etc reviewed or mentioned.

Page references are in the form: (Day) (Month) (Page), i.e. date of issue followed by page number. Thus '23 Jul 31' means '23 July issue, page 31'. Where a subject occurs more than once in an issue, the reference may appear thus: '26 Nov 4(PW), 19(A)'.

The nature of contributions is indicated by the letter or letters which follow the page reference. Thus '20 Aug 25(R)' refers the reader to a book review appearing in the 20 August issue on page 25. Where successive references in a list are to the same type of contribution the distinguishing letter may be inserted after the last of them only. Thus the entries '15 Oct 33, 22 Oct 28, 29 Oct 30(L)' all refer to letters. A list of the distinguishing letters used is printed at the head of this index.

All leading and 'middle' articles are indexed by title, as are all books (under author and title), plays, films, operas etc which are either specifically reviewed or mentioned at length.

In addition, contributions are indexed under the subjects they deal with, usually with a brief indication of their main contents.

In order to save space and to group together references on similar subjects, a number of general headings such as 'Children', 'Education', 'Economic' and 'Parliament' are used, as well as the names of countries and organisations. References which there is no room to index separately can often be traced from entries under these general headings.
