Rh In the following Index to the Rossetti MS., the sketches, poems, and prose contents are given in the order in which they occur in the volume; inverted pieces, written from the reversed end, are marked by an asterisk. To follow roughly Blake's own order of writing the poems enumerated, the Index should be read backwards page by page, from p. 115 to p. 98, and continued straightforwardly from p. 3 to the same point. Italics indicate sketches or prose. For prose passages, of which only the few first or last words are quoted in this Index, reference may be made to Gilchrist (vol. ii) or to Ellis and Yeats (vol. ii. pp. 383-403). The following contractions are used: — S.E., Sougs of Experience; MS. Book, Rossetti Manuscript (followed by number of poem in the present edition); Advt., Advertisement to Blake's Canterbury Pilgrims from Chancer, containing anecdotes of Artists (apparently intended as Blake's own title for piece which Rossetti and others call 'Public Address'); Cat. 1810, For the year 1810. Additions to Blake s Catalogue of Pictures, &c. ; WMR., W. M. Ros- setti's 'Annotated Lists of Blake's Paintings, Drawings, and Engravings,' List 2, no. 25 (Gilchrist's Life, ii. pp. 242-243).
