Martin Diamond 1975-76: c/o National Humanities Institute 53 Wall Street New Haven, Connecticut 06510 W 0 0 D R 0 W WILSON House Library Project Pendleton Herring, the President of the Wood- row Wilson Foundation, recently published an article in Historic Preservation outlining plans for the National Trust for Historic Preservation to undertake a project to bring together at the Woodrow Wilson House Library in Washington, D.C. the books most significant in the intellec- tual life of the former President. According to Herring, "Wilson's own publications on govern- ment, politics and jurisprudence are an essential part of the story, as are his speeches and essays. His papers, now being edited by Arthur S. Link and his associates at Princeton University, are being published by the Princeton University Press. Volume 23 is in production now. Eventu- ally more than 40 volumes will be available. This is no mountain of bureaucratic documen- tation but an intensely personal collection. Thus, to a unique degree, the inspiration and stimuli that entered into the thoughts of this sensitive and idealistic leader can be studied. The Washington house in which Wilson spent his last three years after leaving the White House in 1921 was overflowing with books. Mrs. Wilson, on her husband's death, gave them to the Library of Congress with the stipulation that the collection be kept intact. These vol- umes are now available for research. Here are many of the books that Wilson treasured through a lifetime as well as many that simply accumulated over the years. The entire book list has many hundreds of titles. The indices to the first 12 volumes of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson carry more than 2700 references but the main focus is on British essayists, novelists and poets of the 19th century and, more broadly, on political theo- rists from classic times to Wilson's own day. His shelves displayed his taste as a man of letters and his interest as a student of politics, of jurisprudence and of political philosophy. The present objective is to gather for the library of the S Street residence not only a complete collection of Wilson's own writings but also those books that best represent his personal taste or that may have influenced his political philosophy. Political scientists who possess vol- umes in their field published prior to 1924 are the most likely source for aiding the National Trust in reconstituting the Wilson collection. The following list is suggestive of the many authors who might be cited: Aristotle, John Austin, Francis Bacon, Walter Bagehot, William Blackstone, Johann Kaspar Bluntschli, John Bright, James Bryce, Edmund Burke, Richard Cobden, Thomas Cooley, Albert V. Dicey, Richard Ely, Otto Friedrich von Gierke, Rudolf 54 PS Winter 1976 von Gneist, Frank J. Goodnow, John Richard Green, George Jellenik, John Locke, Thomas Babington Macaulay, Sir Henry Maine, Adolf Merkel, John Morley, John L. Motley, Montes- quieu, Plato, Sir Frederick Pollock, Herbert Spencer, Frederick Jackson Turner, Francis A. Walker. Among authors in belles lettres are Matthew Arnold, Jane Austen, Robert Browning, Charles Dickens, John Keats, Charles Lamb, Sir Walter Scott, Alfred Lord Tennyson, William Words- worth. Questions concerning titles or authors may be addressed to Dr. Pendleton Herring, Castle Howard, Princeton, New Jersey 08540; offers to donate books may be sent to Shirley Markley, Administrator, Woodrow Wilson House, 2340 S Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008. order is placed, and a list of students and addresses must be attached. The issues of Preview will be mailed directly to each student. Preview was launched in 1964 in order to help the news media comprehend the decisions of the Supreme Court. Beginning with the 1973 term of the Supreme Court, the memoranda became available to teachers, students, mem- bers of the bar, and other interested persons. Professor Sherman L. Cohn of the Georgetown University Law Center is the Administrator; Meyer Kramer, Assistant Director for Publica- tions, ALI-ABA Committee on Continuing Pro- fessional Education, is Editor. Additional information on Preview may be obtained from Meyer Kramer, Editor, ALI-ABA Committee on Continuing Professional Educa- tion, 4025 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Penn- sylvania 19104.

Other committee mem- bers are: M. Lai Goel, Norman Han, Young Hoon Kang, and Uasumasa Kuroda. The committee welcomes any suggestions to promote the professional and ethnic interests of Asian political scientists in this country, and volunteers who are interested in the work.

Preview of the United States S U P R E M E C O U R T Cases Preview of the United States Supreme Court Cases is a unique educational tool containing a brief, though scholarly, analysis of every case argued before the Supreme Court. Prepared jointly by the Association of Ameri- can Law Schools and the American Law Insti- tute-American Bar Association Committee on Continuing Professional Education, Preview contains concise, easily read memoranda writ- ten by law teachers expert in the field. Every case argued before the Court is covered. Each memorandum gives the facts and the back- ground, and arguments of the parties, and the possible conclusions of the Court. The reader obtains a synopsis of the record and the briefs, as well as an introduction prepared by a specialist, in language that even the college student can understand. During the 1975-76 term, about 170 memoran- da will be published in approximately 52 issues of Preview. Individual subscriptions to Preview are $20 per term. In bulk orders for an entire class, the cost is reduced by half to $10. In the case of bulk orders, payment must be made in full when the S T A T E and L O C A L Government Review State and Local Government Review is a triannual publication of the Institute of Government, University of Georgia, devoted to practitioners and academics interested in ap- plied research dealing with the practical prob- lems of state and local government. As a multi-disciplinary journal oriented toward prac- titioners, the Review welcomes all articles concerning applied research, university-based public service programs and training, policy making and implementation, and programs in state and local government. The Review also publishes notes on new subjects, commentaries, and replications. Our preference is for manu- scripts which would appeal to practitioners and academics. Short to medium-length article man- uscripts (11-20 typewritten, double-spaced pages) and notes (10 pages or less) are desired, but longer manuscripts will be considered.

The volume was originally prepared as a handbook for newly elected Governors but also seeks to further the role of the States in our federal system. It covers such topics as: Approaching the Job, A Governor's Day, The Immediate Staff, Personnel and Appointments, Approach- es to Management, The First Budget and Financial Plan, The Legislative Program, Inter- governmental Relations, Ethics and Standards, and Media and the Public.

DARWIN Collection A comprehensive edition of the letters of Charles Darwin is being planned with the sponsorship of the American Council of Learned Societies and with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation. The edition will be arranged in chronological order with full texts and annotations and will include letters to Darwin as well as those from him. Frederick Burkhardt, President Emeritus of the American Council of Learned Societies, and Sydney Smith, Fellow and Tutor of St. Catha- rine's College and University Lecturer in Zool- ogy, University of Cambridge, are Co-Editors of the Collected Letters. Although extensive collections of Darwin's cor- respondence are available at the American Philosophical Society, in the Cambridge Univer- sity Library, and in other research libraries and archives, the edition can be made definitive only through the generous cooperation of the possessors of smaller lots of Darwin's widely scattered correspondence. It is hoped that librarians, collectors, scholars, antiquarian booksellers, and others with knowledge of Darwiniana will feel disposed to contribute their help to this project, which will make available for the first time materials that will be basic to future scholarship on Darwin and the history of 19th century science. Please direct all correspondence to Dr. Freder- ick Burkhardt, R.F.D. 1, Bennington, Vermont 05201 U.S.A. or to Dr. Sydney Smith, St. Catharine's College, Cambridge CB2 1RL, Eng- land.
