152 CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON. 



Another member of the staff, Miss Davenport, has been in London through- 

 out the whole of the year reported upon, woi'king in the British Museum and 

 the Public Record Office. Mr. Leland sailed for France at the end of April, 

 and since then has been occupied with researches in the libraries and archives 

 of Paris, described at a later point in this report. 



Several persons outside the regular staff of the Department have during 

 the year given important and valued assistance to its work. In May and 

 June, Professor Marcus W. Jernegan, of the University of Chicago, was in 

 Washington for a brief period of assistance to Dr. Paullin in the completion 

 of those maps in the Atlas of the Historical Geography of the United States 

 which are to illustrate educational and religious history. Professor John S. 

 Bassett, of Smith College, devoted most of September 1921, part of June 1922, 

 and nearly all of July and August to the continuance of his editorial work 

 upon the Correspondence of Andrew Jackson, working partly in Washington 

 and partly in Northampton. Miss Jane Boyd continued the work of tran- 

 scription from September to April, and was succeeded in it by Miss Ruth 

 McDufffe, who brought it to a completion by the end of July. Professor 

 W. J. Seelye assisted both in collation. 



Others outside the regular staff who assisted the work of the Department 

 dming the year were Miss Elizabeth Donnan, formerly a member of the 

 Department, now an assistant professor in Wellesley College; Mrs. N. M. 

 Miller Surrey, of New York City; Mrs. R. C. H. Catterall; Mr. David M. 

 Matteson, of Cambridge; Professor Herbert C. Bell, of Bowdoin College; 

 Miss Louise Phelps Kellogg, of Madison, Wisconsin; Mr. Abel Doysie, of 

 Paris; Miss Ruth A. Fisher, Miss Lillian M. Penson, Miss Isobel D. Thornley, 

 and Miss B. EHott Lockhart, of London. 



As in previous j^ears, acknowledgment is cordially made of the favors 

 constantly shown to the Department, with the greatest liberality, by the 

 officials of the Library of Congress, and especially by Dr. Herbert Putnam, 

 the librarian; by Mr. A. P. C. Griffin, chief assistant hbrarian; by Mr. Charles 

 Moore, chief of the Manuscripts Division, and by Mr. P. Lee Phillips, chief 

 of the Map Division. Grateful recognition is also made of the courtesy 

 shown by the New York Public Library and that of Harvard University in 

 facilitating the work of Mrs. Surrey and Miss Donnan, respectively; by the 

 authorities of the British Museum and the Public Record Office in aiding that 

 of Miss Davenport, Miss Fisher, and others; and by librarians and archivists 

 in Paris and Havi-e, especially the Hbrarian of the American Library in Paris, 

 Mr. W. Dawson Johnston. 



REPORTS. AIDS. AND GUIDES. 



The Guide to Materials for American History in Paris Archives and Libraries, 

 upon which Mr. Leland has long been engaged, was advanced during the 

 autumn and winter to such a point that, in April, he was ready to go again to 

 Paris to bring it to completion, by filling whatever gaps were left in his notes 

 when his work there was interrupted by the advent of war in 1914, and by 

 taking note of all the materials which since that date have come into any of 

 the archives or libraries of Paris. 



Since arriving in Paris, on May 7, Mr. Leland has occupied himself chiefly 

 with manuscripts in the Bibliotheque Nationale relating to American history,
