Reprint of the actual reports with essays by Lawrence C. Wroth, a preface by Thomas R. Adams and an index by Dorothy G. Watts. Excellent reference set for those interested in the study of Americana because of the articles printed and the collations of books acquired by the library that are given. The index makes the set quite usable. Much of bibliographical interest.
