, 1868. 2 vols. I., vi.+416; II.,
vii.+431 pp.

The book contains many facts concerning early emigration and settlement.
Its bearing on early Illinois history is, however, slight.

LEATON, Rev. JAMES. _History of Methodism in Illinois, from 1793 to 1832.
Cincinnati: Walden & Stowe_, 1883. 410 pp.

Very interesting notes on Peter Cartwright, Jesse Walker, and other
pioneers.

LEE, FRANCIS BAGLEY. _New Jersey as a Colony and as a State. New York: The
Publishing Soc. of New Jersey_, 1902. 4 vols. I., 422; II., 456; III.,
400; IV., 402 pp.

The work is superbly printed and illustrated and contains a vast amount of
information, but is totally lacking in bibliography or references, except
a few indications in the index to the illustrations.

LOeHER, FRANZ. _Geschichte und Zustaende der Deutschen in Amerika.
Cincinnati: Eggers & Wulkop_, 1847. v.+544 pp.

The chapters of especial interest to us are "Ausstroemen der Yankees," pp.
237-41; "Einwanderung von 1815 bis 1830," pp. 253-58; "Die Wohnsitze"
(Illinois and Missouri), pp. 337-40. The author cites many authorities,
and his book is of very great value in the study of the assimilation of an
expatriated people.

LOTHROP, J. S. _J. S. Lothrop's Champaign County (Ill.) Directory for
1870-1, with History of the same, and of each Township therein. Chicago:
J. S. Lothrop_, 1871.

Tells a great many things--several of which are false--concerning the early
period of Illinois history.

LUSK, D. W. _Eighty Years of Illinois Politics and Politicians, Anecdotes
and Incidents. A succinct History of the State, 1809-1889. 3d ed. Revised
and enlarged. Springfield, Ill.: H. W. Rokker_, 1889. 609+109 pp.

The 609 pages are political. The 109 pages have a great interest, dealing
as they do with the beginnings of Illinois. Secondary sources are largely
quoted. Not exact enough for critical work, yet very suggestive.

M'AFEE, ROBERT B. _History of the late War in the Western Country,
comprising a full Account of all the Transactions in that Quarter, from
the Commencement of Hostilities at Tippecanoe, to the Termination of the
Contest at New Orleans on the Return of Peace. Lexington, Ky.: Worsley &
Smith, 1816._ 8vo. 534 pp.

Very rare. In the Chicago Historical Society Library. A valuable book.
Describes the attack on Fort Dearborn in 1812.

United States of America, and of Upper and Lower Canada ... the pre
