.—The indexed word is usually found in the phrase, indicated by its initial letter. When not found there it is to be understood that the phrase begins with the indexed word.

In general old spelling is not followed, but all words will be found under the correct form. This is the case with dialect, save when the spelling is so well known that the searcher would otherwise be misled. As the space allowed is often not adequate for a full phrase, unimportant words are omitted in order to convey the idea, although no word is changed.

The small black-faced figures that follow the page numbers indicate the numerical order of the quotation on the page.
