For Architecture, Armour, Cookery, Dress, the Fauna and Flora with which the author seems to have been conversant, and some other subjects, this Index supplies means of reference, not only to the notes, but also to most of the kindred words occurring in the Promptorium under each class respectively, but to which only brief allusion, if any, will be found in the Notes. Of the words last mentioned the lists will be found at the foot of the page.
