As for the author's own pleasures, there are few keener than seeing the index to his book...It hardly matters how fleeting are the appearances of some of the indexed items in the text of the book he's written. How learned the author feels just seeing those hundreds of alphabetical subjects and names, and how organized, as if someone had finally gone into his brain andall for the gentle reader's sakeput those heaps of clutter into a gleaming row of file cabinets.
