- Hetta Carbury's face as "index" to character in The Way We Live Now (Trollope, 1875)
- Marlow "collating" accounts of the Australian boarding party in Lord Jim (Conrad, 1900)
- Mina curating documents in Dracula (Stoker, 1897)
- Newman Noggs's "face is commonly a help to his thoughts, or glossary on his speech" (Dickens Nickleby 77 Penguin 86)
- Actually a failure of this: "the countenance of Newman Noggs...was a problem which no stretch of ingenuity could solve"
- In a Piper way the sense that reference is to a bibliographical world so much as the actual world
