The various classifications have been arranged to conform to the table of contents of the Illinois State Guide. Each entry is keyed to indicate whether the book is illus- trated (I), and whether it contains a bibliography (B), meager or extended. Publisher and publication date are specified, and in most cases a brief descriptive sketch of the book is given. The books included are not of equal merit nor are the categories complete. The compilation has essentially been a process of exclusion, but an effort has been made (1) Illinois Bibliography not to omit from the various classif ications &ny outstand- ing works written from the point of view of our city or our State. Some excellent books on geology, archeology, and folklore were not included because they treat these subjects without emphasis on Chicago or Illinois. There- fore the inclusion of Government, University, and State Department bulletins and of monographs published in the journals of the various historical societies has materially strengthened those more limited divisions. Some of the most valuable books are not the work of single authors, but are the result of the collective effort of a staff of experts in their respective fields. Historical works of this nature usually have the benefit of seasoned judgment obtainable only in viewing events at a distance. On the other hand, some older histories have been included which are not of the first magnitude, and though somewhat opinionated and lacking in perspective, throw the very valuable sidelight of contemporary thought on the events narrated. Grateful acknowledgment is made to a number of re- ference librarians for cooperation and suggestions. (2) Illinois Bibliography GENERAL DESCRIPTION, PAST AND PRESENT Buck, Solon J.
