* Note.—As each of the four numbers is paged independently of the others,

the index must necessarily accord therewith,—hence this explanation. The

column Roman Notation designates the different volumes or numbers

of the "Seriu," viz., 9,10,11 and 12,) and the figures refer to the page of the

corresponding volume. Take for instance "After the Battle," the character

IX shows that it will be found in No. 9, and the figures following give the page

of that volume.
