Jowett Papers - Subject Index

An explanation of the conventions of this Index is given in Section III of the Introduction; however, two parts of the Jowett Papers require special mention here, namely BJ's letters to Florence Nightingale (III N), and the commonplace books (I H23-84). Quinn and Prest's selection from the Nightingale letters (see the Bibliography) prints almost all the important ones and includes an extensive Subject Index. The FN letters have therefore not been indexed in detail here. The commonplace books were not listed in detail (see the General Note to I H23-84), and therefore this Index will not pick up references to every topic discussed in them. However, the Names Index will give an idea of many of the subjects discussed.

This page is an INDEX only. You will need to use the reference numbers listed here to find the relevant sections of the full catalogue.
