INTRODUCTION.

The first edition of this Bibliography was published in 1895, forming pages 677-1236 of the Annual Report of the American Historical Association for 1895. The present edition takes in publications of historical societies down to and as far as possible through 1905. For the new material the collections in the Library of Congress and the principal libraries of Boston have been drawn upon. In some cases the galley proofs have been submitted to officials of the societies concerned, who have verified the titles and suggested additions.

The compiler is in a superlative degree indebted to Samuel A. Green, LL. D., librarian of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and to J. H. Tuttle, assistant librarian. The personal interest shown by both was a most pleasurable experience. The publications received by the Massachusetts Historical Society have been carefully preserved and catalogued, even to the most fugitive leaflet. The catalogue of this collection was freely used and the result was a great gain in the completeness of the Bibliography.

Mr. W. P. Greenlaw, librarian of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, is also entitled to the highest appreciation for his aid and courtesy extended personally to my assistant.

The librarian of the American Antiquarian Society and the librarian of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania read the galley proofs of the titles of publications of their respective societies, a service which it is a pleasure to acknowledge.

Mr. Thomas Hamilton Murray read the proof for the American Irish Historical Society.

Mr. Charles A. Flagg, of the Library of Congress, who has done. much toward completing the sets of historical society publications in the Library, has given most generous and valuable aid.

The arrangement is first by States, then alphabetical by name of society.

The immediate work of compilation has been done, under my direct supervision, by Miss Grace Gardner Griffin.
