The research work required to prepare the proof for the printer was begun 

 on June 15, 1906, by Leonhard Felix Fuld, under the immediate adminis- 

 trative supervision of the grantee. The research work is being carried on 

 in the Lenox Library, Astor Library, Library of the New York Historical 

 Society, and Library of Columbia University in New York City, and every 

 endeavor is made to locate and personally inspect a copy of each book entered 

 in the Dictionary in one of these libraries. If no copy can be located in New 

 York City, recourse is had to correspondence with the Boston Public Library, 

 the Library of Harvard University, the Library of the Boston Athenaeum, 

 the Library of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester, Mass. , the 

 Library of Congress, and other libraries whose collections are particularly 

 rich in Americana. No title is included in the Dictionary unless a copy has 

 been located in some library, and .such library is indicated by an appropriate 

 initial in the entry or unless the title is one which though obtained from a 

 reliable bibliographical authority can not be located in any library, in which 

 case the bibliography from which it is taken will be mentioned in a note. 

 The original plan of Sabin's Dictionary is being followed in all material 

 respects.

Mr. Weeks reports that during the year 3,104 volumes have been 

 examined, and 11,737 author cards and 6,094 index cards have been 

 written. 



Adding to the above the work previously completed gives — 



Total uumber of volumes examined to date 4,090 



Total number of author cards written 18,797 



Total uumber of index cards written 7,871 



The work of typewriting the cards necessarily has been somewhat behind 



that of the examination of the literature. About 1,000 author cards are yet 



to be written, and approximately one-third of the index cards have been 



written. Below is tabulated the material by languages : 



Volumes in English 1,586 



Volumes in French 635 



Volumes in German 1,381
