In the Department of HISTORY, the only 

 works of General History were : " Ancient His- 

 tory, Illustrated by Colored Maps," by 0. A. 

 Bloss and J. J. Anderson; and ''Handbook of 

 History and Chronology," by Rev. J. M. Greg- 

 ory. 



In Revolutionary and ante -Revolutionary 

 History, the number is somewhat large, but 22 

 of the 37 are either reprints or translations of 

 old works which would otherwise have passed 

 from the knowledge of those curious in the col- 

 lection of such narratives, journals, or controver- 

 sies. For the most part these reprints are in 

 very small editions, 75 to 200 copies. They 

 comprise such works as " Benjamin Church's 

 Histories of King Philip's "War, and the Cam- 

 paigns of 1689 to 1704 against the Indians," 

 edited by Rev. H. M. Dexter ; "The Sir Henry 

 Clinton and Lord Cornwallis Controversy ; " 

 " John Dunton's and Captain John Smith's Ac- 

 counts of New England." Journals of Travels 

 and Observations, like Baroness Reidesel's, 

 Father Charlevoix, Mourt's Relation, Tbayer, 

 Boyer, etc., etc., and some of the theological 

 controversies having a political bearing, like 

 those of Roger "Williams, " The Bloudy Ten- 

 ent," and Cotton's Reply, etc. Of the remain- 

 der, six or seven are controversial, growing out 

 of some passages of Mr. Bancroft's ninth vol- 

 ume of his History of the United States. 

 There are also a few monographs on special 

 topics of Colonial History, such as Mr. Brod- 

 head's Essay on " The Government of Sir Ed- 

 mund Andross over New England, 16S8-'9 ; " 

 Mr. E. D. Neill's " Terra Marise, or Threads of 

 Maryland Colonial History ; '" S. G. Drake's 

 " Old Indian Chronicle ; " Francis Parkman's 

 "The Jesuits in North America in the 17th 

 Century ; " F. KMder's compilation from Al- 

 lan's journals and papers of " Military Opera- 

 tions in Eastern Maine and Nova Scotia during 

 the Revolution ; " "Salem "Witchcraft," etc., by 

 C. "W. Upham ; "W. C. Martyn's Essay on " The 

 Pilgrim Fathers of New England ; " "A His- 

 tory of the Townships of Byberry and More- 

 land," by J. C. Martindale ; Dr. E. B. O'Cal- 

 laghan's carefully edited editions of the "Voy- 

 age of George Clarke, Esq., to America ; " and 



Journal of the Voyage of the Sloop Mary, 

 from Quebec, with an account of her wreck, 

 anno 1701 ; and a rare old document edited 

 by Dr. F. B. Hough, entitled " Proceedings of 

 a Convention of Delegates from several of the 

 New England States convened at Boston, 1780, 

 to promote the prosecution of the War, and 

 prepare a Generous Reception of our French 

 Allies." 



Under the head of Post- Revolutionary and 

 Modern Historical Works are included, with 

 two exceptions, books relating to the late civil 

 war, or some of the actions in it. There are 

 31 of these, and 11 of the number are in 

 the interest of the Southern, or Confederate 

 party. But three belong to the class of gener- 

 al histories of the war (a very decided falling 

 off from previous year), viz., the second volume 

 of Mr. Lossing's "Pictorial History of the 

 Civil War," the first volume of Dr. J. W. 

 Draper's "History of Our Civil War," and Mr, 

 William Swinton's " Twelve Decisive Battles 

 of the War." The other works, somewhat 

 general in their character, are Rev. C. B. Boyn- 

 ton's " History of the Navy during the Rebel- 

 lion," 2 volumes; "Lessons from our late Re- 

 bellion," by Rev. A. P. Peabody, and " Me- 

 moirs of the Confederate War of Independ- 

 ence," by Heros von Borcke, a reprint from an 

 English work. The historical sketches from
