As explained in the preface, "this fourth volume of the Engineering Index represents the continuation of the work originally started by the late Professor J. B. Johnson in the Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies in 1884, and turned over by that Association to the Engineering Magazine, at the close of 1895. The previous volumes, published respectively in 1892, 1896 and 1901, covered with increasing fullness and thoroughness the field of technical engineering periodical literature, and in the present volume every care has been taken to maintain and advance the standard set by its predecessors".
