1 For the sake of convenience, the titles here presented have been arranged 

 under some nine headings which were logically suggested by the nature of the 

 subject-matter. Within each section, too, the works are listed in order of 

 importance rather than alphabetically. Outstanding volumes are placed at the 

 heads of their respective sections; while lesser works follow in general, though 

 not meticulous, order of significance. Occasionally, where the nature of the 

 subject-matter renders it advisable, the same work is given in more than one 

 division. Brief comments, designed to serve as rough characterizations, are 

 presented in connection with the more important or unusual titles. All sections 

 are meant to be suggestive rather than exhaustive. With few if any excep- 

 tions, all writings of significance either to the student or to the general reader 

 have been included ; but the literature of American whaling has been robbed of 

 its best, not stripped bare. Reference is made to those works which are neces- 

 sary in securing an adequate understanding of New England whaling; but large 

 quantities of unimportant, repetitive, or untrustworthy manuscripts and writings 

 have been omitted. The student who wishes to penetrate into these recesses of 

 whaling literature, often interesting even though not essential, will inevitably 

 gravitate toward the storehouses to be found in the New Bedford Public Li- 

 brary; in the Old Dartmouth Historical Society Museum, New Bedford; in the 

 Daniel B, Fearing Collection in Widener Library, Harvard University; and in 

 the Nantucket Whaling Museum.
