_An Elaborate Analytical Index to the Whole_

Almost all of the rare originals are without indexes. In the present
reprint series, this immense mass of historical data will be made
accessible through one exhaustive analytical index, to occupy the
concluding volume.

* * * * *

In many cases the records reproduced are so rare that this
collection will be practically the only resource of the
student of the original sources of our early history. The
printing and binding of the edition are handsome and at the
same time so substantial that the documents reproduced may
be said to have been rescued once for all time.--_Public
Opinion._
