XV. — From the Lundy's Lane Historical Society through 

 James Wilson. 



I beg leave to report that in Jul}^ 1902, the Lundy's Lane His- 

 torical Society published the fifth volume of " The Documentary 

 History of the Campaigns on the Niagara Frontier in 1812-14 " (pp. 

 326), covering the period from January to June, 1813, collected and 

 edited for the Society by Lieut.-Colonel E. Cruikshank. Tliis volume 

 contains nearly three hundred contemporary letters, documents and gen- 

 eral orders transcribed from the original manuscripts preserved in the 

 Archives of Canada, Great Britain and the United States, or in the 

 possession of private individuals in these countries, who have generously 

 permitted them to be copied for this purpose, and very few of which 

 have appeared in print before. The sixth volume of the series, bring- 

 ing the narrative down to 15th August, 1813, is now in the press and 

 will be in readiness about July 1st, 1903. 



The Society desires to express its hearty satisfaction at the trans- 

 fer of that portion of the Ordnance Lands Reserve upon which the 

 ruins of Fort Erie are situated (rendered memorable in the annals of 

 Canada by the siege operations in August and September, 181-4), by 

 the Government of Canada to the commissioners of Queen Victoria 

 Niagara Falls Park to be suitably maintained by them.
