Book Description

Excerpt from Bibliography of the District of Columbia: Being a List of Books, Maps, and Newspapers, Including Articles in Magazines and Other Publications to 1898 Therefore it is not expected that in this instance an exception has been made to the general rule and that success has crowned the effort to include every title which should be in such a catalogue. It is the hope of the compiler, as well as of the Columbia Historical Society under whose auspices the work has been done, that it will serve a useful purpose in making available material relating to the District. The compiler has met with ready cooperation and encouragement from a large number of persons. Individual mention of some whose assistance has been helpful was made in a report to the Columbia Historical Society and printed in the third volume of its proceedings. He desires to express his obligations to Mr. Charles C. Darwin, who kindly gave the benefit of his expert knowledge while these pages were in press.
