Very little requires to be referred to here. The Table of Contents should render unnecessary any Index of Names. The author's connection with the subject of his book has been a lengthened one.

This reprint is a disappointment. Instead of a book (as the original) you get a small pamphlet without spine title. The publisher writes:"We scanned this book using character recognition software that includes an automated spell check. [...]. After we retypeset and design a book [here in three columns!], the number change so the old index and table of contents no longer work. Therefore we often remove them [as in this book]."Other editions are books with 360 pages, this is just 74 pages.Books like this only serve scholarly purposes, and with this policy they cannot be used to quote because of the missing reference to original pages. Besides the author, Flint, wrote that the table of content is important and partly replaces an index.When buying this book you get access to the original scanned book online (with page numbers), but why then obtain this printed version?
