  • the mostly blank copy of Index Rerum available via Google Books, from the Gutman Library at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. This edition was published in 1883, and was received as a gift in 1941, from the library of Professor Herbert Weir Smyth (1857-1937, class of 1878, philologist, author of Greek Grammar among other works). Three or four entries only (on accent, education, utopia).

    This edition includes preformatted pages for noting Author; Title; Publisher; etc.; Date; and Price under those respective heads. My own copies do not provide this.
