HISTORY, SUMMARIES AND ESSAYS

The summaries and essays that form the database are assembled in four files, chapter 2–5. In each file the summaries are organized under headings quite similar to the Keywords. In some cases the same summary appears under two headings.

It is recommended to use Search by Thesaurus or Advanced Search to ensure that all relevant summaries are identified.
