Abstract
THIS volume is the first calendar of archive materials in Washington issued by the Department of Historical Research in the Carnegie Institution. It follows upon Messrs. Van Tyne and Leland's “ Guide to the Archives of the Government of the United States in Washington.” Mr. J. Franklin Jameson, the editor of the series to which this book belongs, says that the interest of historical writers at the present time is greatest in respect of papers which have to do with territories as a whole, especially with their government and their constitutional and political history. Accordingly attention has, in the present volume, been concentrated upon papers of this class.
