How To Use This Index
The index is organized into three sections:
Titles and Periodicals, which are references to books and periodicals discussed in Liberty;: Individuals, which are references to contributors and to individuals discussed or mentioned in Liberty; and, Subject which are references to the issues discussed in Liberty.
These sections are cross referenced; for example, an article by Tucker on government would appear in the following sections:
Under Individuals at Tucker: “Tucker, Benjamin R.:. . . on government, “;
Under Subject at government: “Government: . . . Tucker on, ” as well as under any other heading which is significantly discussed in the article.
The references are organized with the Whole Issue Number first and the page number second. (Liberty’s masthead indicates both the date and the Whole Number of the issue.) Thus, the citation 7p.3 refers to Whole Issue Number 7 at page 3.
Although most passing references are excluded, when the individual or the periodical is particularly significant, the references have been included. Thus, under Auberon Herbert, you will find a listing of every time Herbert’s name appeared in Liberty whether that appearance was lengthy or not. The index is organized so as to distinguish between a passing reference and a more significant one. For example, in the hypothetical entry of:
Individual’s name: p.2, 7p.3, 8p.4; on atheism, 403p.2; on rent, 209p.4.
The first three references are passing ones, The significant references are alphabetically organized thereafter.
There are two forms of significant references concerning individuals and periodicals. The individual may be writing on a subject or may be the topic of discussion by someone else. These references are distinguished:
Individual’s name: 1p.2, 7p.3, 8p.4; on atheism, 403p.2; on rent, 209p.4; Tucker on, 211 p.3; Yarros on,1 p. 1.
The distinctions drawn between concepts such as Government and State are those drawn by the individuals in Liberty themselves.
