Preface . 
 
 The aim of this work has been to bring together all the 
 books and articles bearing on the history of the state of Ill- 
 inois, as far as possible, and to so arrange and classify them 
 as to make them of the greatest use to the student of the sub- 
 ject. This has been only partially accomplished, owing chiefly 
 to the inaccessibility of much of the material, but it is felt 
 that the list of works included will furnish at least a work- 
 ing basis for anyone desiring to pursue the study of this spec-^ 
 ial part of the nation's history. 
 
 The time covered by the list extends from the year of the 
 famous voyage of Marquette and Joliet, when the Illinois coun- 
 try is first known to have been traversed by the steps of white 
 men, to the opening of the Civil war. The period divisions used 
 are those into which the history seems most naturally to divide 
 
itself. Further divisions might have been made, but were not be- 
 cause of the difficulty in separating the material correspondingly. 
 
 The first period, that of the discovery and exploration of 
 the country, from 1673 to 1700, is more fully covered than any 
 of the others; yet, as the study of this epoch involves that of 
 the early history of both Canada and Louisiana, the number of 
 works to be consulted was very large and the treatment is not to 
 any great degree exhaustive. It is regretted that the new edi- 
 tion of the "Jesuit Relations", which is now appearing under the 
 editorship of Mr. R, Q, Thwaites, has not as yet been brought 
 down to a late enough date to be included, for, as it is to em- 
 brace many Relations not in the former edition, it will doubtless 
 contain much of great value to our subject. 
 
 The next period, that of French colonization , and the subse- 
 quent ones^are in a general way, it is hoped, satisfactorily 
 treated. Many omissions were, hov/ever, unavoidable. The litera- 
 ture of the ordinance of 1787, whic?i might be desired by the stu- 
 dent of Illinois history, for instance, was so abundant and vari- 
 ed that it could barely be touched upon; that of the slavery move 
 vement in the state and of the constitutional history of the state 
 were also but incidentally treated of. The histories of various 
 cities and counties it was also found necessary to omit. The 
 short list of references on the Chicago massacre is included, how- 
 ever, because the material was accessible and because it seemed 
 to belong quite as well to the history of the state as to that 
 
of Chicago proper. 
 
 As the object of the work was merely to bring together such 
 material as was available on the subject for the use of students, 
 not so much effort has bejen expended in collecting bibliographic 
 details about the books included, as in obtaining the exact re- 
 ference in every cas- , and in so analyzing and annotating them as 
 to exactly indicate their contents. 
 
 As the work is to such a great degree analytical only the 
 authors and brief titles of the books are given in the entries 
 under the period divisions, the full titles and imprints being 
 given in the "List of books referred to under the different peri- 
 ods with full titles and imprints" appended at the close. It is 
 hoped that this v/ill furnish as convenient a form of reference 
 as is needed.
