Century of EndeavourIndex of Supportive Hypertext Files(c) Roy Johnston 2006We list here the files in the hypertext support system which contain either source material, or material in more detail and closer to source, usually as referenced from the main text of the printed book. In some cases they contain additional material found since the book was printed, and in such cases the files are usually hotlinked to appropriate related concepts elsewhere in the hypertext. The files are priarily grouped by decade. A file added since the printed edition is marked **; one amended by post-print additions is marked *. The files are ordered and grouped within each decade as suggested by the sequence of the appendices. We also hope eventually to give an alternative index page, in which all background files to do with a theme are grouped chronologically within a theme.
