"An index is a necessary implement and no impediment of a book, except in the same sense, wherein the carriages of an army are termed Impedimenta. Without this a large author is a labyrinth without a clue to direct the reader therein. I confess there is a lazy kind of learning which is only Indical; when scholars (like adders which only bite the horse's heels) nibble but at the tablets... neglecting the body of the book. But though the idle deserve no crutches (let not a staff be used by them, but on them), pity it is the weary should be denied the benefit thereof, and industrious scholars prohibited the accommodation of an index, most despised by those who pretend to contemn it." Isaac Disraeli, Curiosities of Literature (1846).
