Excerpt from The Life and Times of Anthony Wood, Antiquary, of Oxford, 1632-1695, Described by Himself, Vol. 5: Collected From His Diaries and Other Papers; Indexes The indexes, which complete Wood's Life and Times, are longer and more minute than might have been expected from the nature of the work. The volumes contain over 1900 pages to be indexed, and in them quite an exceptional number of names. In his earlier years Wood's keenest interest was in genealogy. During the last fifteen years of his life, he was collecting biographical notices for his Athenae and Fasti. From first to last, therefore, he was tempted to bring into his personal papers a multitude of names of authors, ecclesiastics, gentry, peers, as also of names of places, with which no other Oxford resident would have burdened his diaries. The bare indexes of persons and places are thus very much heavier than we' might have looked for in the record of an uneventful life of sixty-three years.
