Index of Contents

The main bulk of the index consists of titles and authors of books reviewed and broad subject categories. This information was previously available in the cumulative index compiled by Newspaper Archive Developments (now Primary Source Media) and published by them in book form from 1978 onwards. The electronic database of this index—a complete and almost wholly accurate record of the main contents of the TLS since its inception—has been revised in the process of being augmented by information about contributors. The main changes and additions, taken from the original issues of the TLS, are as follows.

The title of each book is no longer inverted and is now given in full, together with information (where applicable) about number of volumes, title of series and the language from which a work has been translated. Publisher, place of publication and price are also now included for the first time. Year of publication is only stated if different from the year of the review, and place of publication only if not London.

Where the former index listed authors of notes or of prefaces indistinguishably from the main authors of works, the electronic version provides more precise details of who contributed what.

The title (heading) of each item as it appeared in the TLS is also given, mainly as an aid to finding the piece on the relevant page. Reference is also facilitated by the addition of issue number and date where the earlier index only provided year and page number. Finally, circulation figures are recorded, as given in the relevant issue.
