$LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS Dates in the last column of the page are the dates of publication. In cases where more than one edition has appeared, the date of the first edition is put in square brackets, that following being the date of the last edition.

Publishers' Names in round brackets after a non-English Town-name are the names of the London agents for the book in question. Authors' Titles in square brackets before their initials imply that such titles were acquired after they had written the book named; e.g., Hampden, [Bp.] R. D. Scholastic Philosophy. * before a book or part of a book implies that it is considered to be of exceptional importance or value, at least for the section in which it occurs with an asterisk.
