Book Description

Excerpt from Centennial Bibliography of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 1891: With an Appendix At a meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, held January 8, 1891, Dr. Samuel A. Green, in presenting a Centennial Bibliography of the Society, made the following remarks: - Twenty years ago, at the January meeting, I communicated a paper containing a bibliography of the Society's publications, which was then in a great measure tentative. Since that time I have found many old titles previously unknown to the Library; and keeping pace with the new ones, I have added all such to the list, which is herewith submitted as fairly complete. The first publication of the Society appeared on January 6, 1792, in "The American Apollo," a weekly magazine beginning at that time. Successive numbers were printed in connection with the periodical during thirty-nine weeks, and comprised usually a signature of eight pages, which could be separated from the rest of the pamphlet, and was called Part I. of each number.
