New France and New England

In selecting the illustrations for the series of which this is the last volume to be issued, nothing has been admitted for the mere purpose of embellishment; but the historical societies, libraries, and private collections in this country andE urope have been searched for contemporary material in the form of historical pictures, portraits, original manuscripts, maps, and other documents, much of which has never before been published. The attempt has been made to use only those illustrations the source and authenticity of which have been established beyond doubt. This information is given in the notes on the illustrations, but special thanks are due toW ilberforce Eames of theN ew York Public Library for his unfailing courtesy, as well as to the librarians of most of the important historical societies and libraries in the country, and to numerous gentlemen already mentioned in the other volumes. A mong the private collections to which credit has been given, that of Charles P. Greenough of Boston deserves particular mention in connection with the rare manuscripts and autographs used in this volume. Boston, October,
