HASKELL This list has three main divisions: (1) an alphabetical arrangement by cities in which the papers are published; (2) an alphabetical index to the titles or names of the papers; (3) a chronological index showing the years covered by the files here indexed. Under the name of each country in its alphabetical place is found a list of references to the cities of that country represented. References for the British Empire are made from England, Scotland, Ireland, and the various commonwealths and colonies. For the United States references are made from the names of the individual states. Under the individual cities the arrangement of titles is alphabetical, not by the first word, but by the first important word, such words as daily, weekly, morning, evening, and the name of the town, when a part of the title, being disregarded. When the two shelfmarks Reserve and * A are given for a single entry it may be generally assumed that files up to and including 1800 are in Reserve, later files in * A.
