VIII NORTH AMERICAN LINGUISTICS. 
I trust that the information contained in this Bibliography, when 
pubished, may prove, in some slight measure, a return for the many 
kindnesses and courtesies received at the hands of the officers of the 
following libraries, without whose aid, so generously extended, even the 
present preliminary catalogue would not have been possible : A. E. 
Spofford, Library of Congress; Justin Winsor, Harvard University; 
O. A. Cutter, Boston Athenaeum; A. Van Name, Yale College; H. L. 
Oaks, Bancroft Library, San Francisco; F. Saunders, Astor Library, New 
York; Geo. H. Moore, Lenox Library, New York; Samuel A. Green, 
Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston; L. C. Draper and D. S. Dur- 
rie, of the Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison; J. Fletcher Williams,
