TABLE OF CONTENTS

PAMELA, VOL. I.

"It is thought proper to prefix to this Edition the following ample
Table of CONTENTS, which may serve to revive the Memory of the
principal Matters in the Minds of those who have read them, and to
give an easy and clear View of what they contain, to those who have
not, nor perhaps have Leisure to peruse them; at least, so carefully
as may be necessary to answer the End of their Publication: And
which, at the same time, will serve as a copious INDEX to direct the
reader where to find the most material Passages, as well as give an
Idea of the entertaining and instructive Variety to be found in the
Work".-(Richardson's Introduction to Table of Contents in Edition

of 1742).
