DEPARTMENT OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH. 159 



TEXTS. 



The first volume of Miss Davenport's "European Treaties bearing 

 on the History of the United States and its Dependencies" will no 

 doubt be issued early in the year, while she proceeds with work upon 

 the second volume, extending from 1648 to 1713. 



Dr. Burnett will expend as large a part of his time as is possible in 

 continuing the annotation of his "Letters of Delegates to the Conti- 

 nental Congress" and preparing the manuscript of the third and fourth 

 volumes for publication. 



Mr. Stock will endeavor to complete the first volume of his "Pro- 

 ceedings and Debates of Parliament respecting North America," 

 extending from 1542 to either 1700 or 1715. 



Miss Donnan will devote whatever time is not occupied with her 

 duties in connection with the American Historical Review to further 

 research in the history of the African slave-ti'ade, relating especially 

 to the sources and methods of supply. 



MISCELLANEOUS OPERATIONS. 



The Department will no doubt maintain, in 1918, activities similar 

 to those which, under this heading, have been described above in that 

 part of this report which relates to the year now closed.
