A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume, edited by the publication committee of the Illinois State Historical Society, is made up on a plan substantially similar to that of the preceding volumes. It includes the larger part of the papers read at the annual meeting in 1905; but with the increasing bulk of the annual volumes, it has seemed to the committee no longer desirable to print all the papers at length. The committee desires to lay stress on the Contributions to State History, as illustrating that part of the societys publication work which needs further development along judicious lines. The policy of the present committee may be indicated by the following extract from a circular letter recently issued by thechaiiman. Committee on Publication. It is proposed to include in this and subsequent volumes the following kinds of historical material: (1) Hitherto unpublished letters and other private documentary material. It is thought that public documents may be best provided for in the official publications of the State Historical Library. (2) Papers of a reminiscent character. These should be selected with care, with a view to securing material of real historic value. (3) Historical essays or brief monographs based upon the sources and containing genuine contributions to knowledge. Such papers should be accompanied by foot notes indicating with precision the authorities upon which the papers are based. (4) Bibliographies of special subjects in the history of the State. It is hoped that with the coftperation of historical students throughout the State, these annual transactions may be given a substantial character which will secure for them the respect and confidence of scholars and of all who are interested in an accurate record of the history of I llinois.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
