BY ERNEST E. LEISY

Secretary of the Group

The following bibliography represents a first attempt to bring together such material as should be readily accessible to every investigator in the field of American literature. Thanks are due to scholars and librarians who have aided in making the list as full as it is. Professor J. B. Hubbell, of Southern Methodist University, has helped materially in securing information from various libraries. Despite every endeavor toward accuracy and completeness there are omissions and there may be misstatements. The compiler will be grateful if corrections will be directed to him at Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington, Illinois.
