INTRODUCTION. 
 
 No people in the world can have so great an interest in the history of 
 their country, as that of the U. S. of North America : for there are 
 none who enjoy an equally great share in their country's historical 
 acts. And who would not love his offspring, who remain indifferent 
 even to the smallest incidents affecting them ? There is also no 
 country in the world whose history ought to be of higher interest to 
 its citizens, than the United States, as their history contains treasures 
 of experience in politics, as novel in the old as in the new world. 
 It contains the annals of a new era in the political and moral history 
 of mankind, and points out the way to that height of perfection, 
 which a free nation ought continually to strive to attain, and which 
 must be, therefore, pre-eminently desirable to the citizens of the 
 United States. For they have entirely excluded from their system 
 of government the antiquated principle of prescriptive rights, and 
 have adopted in its stead the people's right to govern themselves; in 
 politics they can therefore claim no longer the privilege and benefit 
 of minors, having by an act of their own declared themselves of full 
 age, to act independently and to follow their own course, spurning all 
 foreign interference in matters of their own cognizance as intolera- 
 ble to men who feel their worth. In whatever wrong they do, there- 
 fore, they have themselves to blame, not being allowed the privi- 
 lege of laying it at the door of any hereditary rulers, who might 
 occasionally be made to expiate with their lives the imbecility of the 
 past and the consequently necessary degradation of the present 
 generation. Allowing at the same time the fullest share of 
 human rights to every one of their white fellow citizens, and realiz- 
 ing self-government on the most extensive scale known, it is quite 
 natural that in the United States more than anywhere else, citizens 
 should only be willing to yield to necessity, whether it be a material 
 or a moral one ; and, as necessity is not acknowledged as such until 
 after experience, very often dearly bought, history, as the treasury 
 
viii 
 
 of experience, should bear a far higher value with the sovereign 
 citizens of a free State than with the subjects of a monarchy, who, 
 having conceded to hereditary rulers the monopoly of those acts 
 which constitute history, must pay a rather high price for the idle 
 position of humble spectators to those acts, without even retaining the 
 consoling liberty of demonstrating their displeasure. 
 
 But, though the history of the United States must be of the greatest 
 interest to their own citizens, that which Europeans may attach to it 
 from another point of view, cannot be much inferior to their own. 
 
 It has of late been shown most clearly, by De Tocqueville and 
 other French political writers, that Democracy is the great end to 
 which all enlightened nations aim, and to which they are led even 
 unconsciously by every incident of historical importance. The best 
 evidence of this assertion is the very form of government„bv^ the 
 adoption of which the subjects of monarchies have striven to attain, 
 so far as this may be compatible with good order, the highest degree 
 of liberty, the so called Constitutional Monarchy. This mixture of the 
 two elements of Democracy and Monarchy, which must for ever be 
 diametrically opposed to each other, is upon the whole nothing but 
 an attempt to render change from the one form to the other easier 
 and more decent, confining a mortal conflict within such limits as to 
 make it harmless to the material interests of the people, and annihilat- 
 ing the one of these elements under proper form and by a legal 
 proceeding, instead of using violence, which even in the case of 
 self-defence might prove troublesome or afford a bad political pre- 
 cedent. 
 
 I will not decide upon the question, whether in a conflict between an 
 evident and undeniable right, and a mere legal presumption, the 
 strength of the former would finally destroy the latter or not j but the 
 victory of democracy, which becomes from day to day more probable 
 and unavoidable, must certainly turn the attention of every foreigner 
 to the rise and progress of the United States ; to the history of a 
 country where, in a magic mirror, as it were, one may behold the 
 future state of different European nations, and learn equally to avoid 
 precipitation and sluggishness in adopting a form of government 
 which, so far, seems best to answer the intentions of our Creator in 
 making men moral, and consequently self-governing beings. 
 
 In fact, there is no foreign traveller of sound intellect, who, having 
 visited the United States, will not acknowledge that by his visit he 
 has learned as much, nay far more, with regard to gaining a right 
 
ix 
 
 view of European affairs, as to acquiring a correct one of those of 
 the United States ; and this acknowledgment will easily be believed 
 to be true, when we consider that until very late nearly every for- 
 eigner who visited the United States seems to have considered it his 
 especial duty not to withhold from his contemporaries whatever ad- 
 ventures he may have had, however trifling, or any opinions he may 
 have formed upon the country, whether more or less pertinent. For 
 it is an easy matter in reading with due discrimination the numerous 
 host of works on the United States, to gather particular and similar 
 views of the exterior of nearly every object in this country, and from 
 the extensive knowledge which the dearth of political life favors so 
 particularly in several parts of Europe, it is more than probable that 
 a well instructed European may have as accurate a knowledge of 
 those objects as he has of Egyptian kings, Roman emperors, or others 
 with whose names he may have burthened his memory. 
 
 But, however well prepared he may come to the United States, 
 and even though he should know all the details of their institutions, 
 he must be ignorant of their animating force, of the strong self-gov- 
 erning individuality of American citizens, the real spirit of American 
 political life, and of the practical, easy, well-tempered use of liberty, 
 because there is nowhere abroad an opportunity for becoming ac- 
 quainted with them. Yet without a thorough acquaintance with this 
 strong republican spirit, and without a knowledge of the foundations 
 of self-government, the freest institutions appear but as a dead let- 
 ter, sovereignty of the people as a chimera, capacity for reasoning 
 in a majority as inconceivable, and democracy itself as a farce, fit 
 only to enslave mankind still more, and to serve ever afterwards as 
 a warning against any future democratic fancies. 
 
 Every well-bred man may at present easily understand the purity 
 and charming simplicity of American social life ; but to gain an 
 insight into the vital elements of American liberty is not by any 
 means so easy for a foreigner as it might at first appear. Whoever 
 is incapable, on coming to this country, of signing for himself a mental 
 declaration of independence, whoever does not feel himself fit to be- 
 come a freeman instead of a mere creature of circumstances, by 
 throwing off the eye-flaps of aristocratic prejudices, and changing 
 the effeminating eiderdown of mere liberalism, for the harder but 
 invigorating garb of freedom, will never understand public life as it- 
 is in the United States, and will never succeed in decyphering the 
 
glowing hieroglyphics in which true democracy daily records the 
 verdict of all who hope perhaps to brave it for ever. 
 
 The intellectual barrenness of such travellers, who were incapa- 
 ble of rising above the horizon of the minor miseries of social life, 
 has caused them often to revenge themselves on the country, and on 
 its inhabitants, by giving accounts which were unfriendly and depre- 
 ciating, or even contemptuous, but which, in fact, by the conspicuous 
 inanity they displayed, were speedily recognized to be but the 
 true pictures of the fruitless efforts of their writers to rid themselves 
 of their own self- weariness, by travelling in foreign countries. For 
 more than thirty years European literature concerning the United 
 States, was overwhelmed with such vapidness. The times, however 
 are happily now over, when too great haste in dining, chewing to- 
 bacco, and the want of comfort on a road in the backwoods, become 
 the scale for the judgment of reviewers ; and after De Tocqueville, 
 Chevalier and Von Raumer, the reiteration of such perfect trash is 
 hardly to be apprehended. 
 
 The unparalleled success of the democracy of the United States in 
 every kind of well-being and of internal improvements within less than 
 three quartersof a century, equalled. by nothing which is to be met with 
 in either ancient or modern history of any known part of our globe ; 
 the happiest combination of civil and religious liberty, together with 
 full security of property and person, even in the most critical periods 
 of general distress ; the high spirited and manly courage with which 
 a free nation preserved justice and unlimited publicity as the guardi- 
 ans of their constitutional rights, could not but rouse Europeans to 
 the most serious reflections — reflections that were of the deepest po- 
 litical interest, and rendered still more important by the constantly in- 
 creasing emigration to the United States. 
 
 From that time mere descriptions of men, manners, &c, in Ame- 
 rica were found to be unsatisfactory ; higher topics had to be chosen ; 
 and the history, political institutions, position and probable destiny of 
 the Republican Government in the United States, and of democratic 
 elements in general, became the almost universal subjects for study. 
 De Tocqueville showed how far American liberty was compatible with 
 European theories, and became convinced that the United States 
 formed the best point from which to take a correct view of the politi- 
 cal position, and the destiny of Europe. Although a rather ominous 
 one, this conviction will certainly be shared by every foreigner 
 who may become acquainted with the principles of Democracy in 
 
xi 
 
 the United States. This at the same time led to other truths, as — that 
 a nation never possesses more liberty than it deserves, and that those 
 nations which suffer too much in bearing their liberty, may find re- 
 lief in a Csesarean section ; and thus, instead of puling liberalism, that 
 'jmbryo of liberty, which proves incapable of disengaging itself from 
 mother theory, and is confined therefore to timid sympathy with fo- 
 reign freedom, and to an idle longing for the Christmas-box of its 
 own, a healthy and well-shaped offspring may be ushered into the 
 world — real liberty. 
 
 There is really no country in the world which could deny the high 
 political station, to which, in the course of a comparatively short time 
 democracy has raised the United States ; and the fear with which 
 some foreign powers look upon its rapid progress, and upon the prog- 
 nostics which this progress holds out to their existence, might appear 
 ridiculous, if it were not unhappily but too often accompanied by so 
 many most serious consequences for individuals as well as for whole 
 families. In some parts of Europe, indeed, they look upon the demo- 
 cratic system, which in the United States is carried out with so 
 great sucess, with the same horror as one would upon an avalanche, 
 which was threatening to bury under its huge mass everything which 
 comes in the way of its headlong course. And as in the Alps all 
 noise is carefully avoided, lest some loose avalanche might roll down, 
 they would like to stop all intercourse of their subjects with the Uni- 
 ted States, whether by letters or newspapers, an attempt which, we 
 trust, will turn out to no better purpose than that of a man who 
 thinks to pass dry under the Falls of Niagara, because sheltered by 
 an umbrella. Strange fascination ! not to conceive that these very 
 measures are betraying a decay but too ripe for dissolution, a total 
 exhaustion of vital power, the surest symptom of near and unavoid- 
 able destruction. Strange fatality, that there are hereditary mon- 
 archies, who, with all their dazzling court-pageantry, titles, orders, 
 large standing armies, and hosts of censors, police-officers, and 
 other hierarchy of office-holders, should feel themselves too weak to 
 withstand the moral power of an American newspaper, nay, even 
 the simple truth, which they fear the humble letters of their emi- 
 grated subjects may contain when coming from this side of the At- 
 lantic ! A proof how inadequate are all their enslaving institutions, 
 kept up at such immense expense, for overcoming the terror which 
 every democratic idea strikes into them ; that they must cowardly 
 hide themselves from the humblest truth, whilst the fullest glare of 
 
XII 
 
 unrestrained publicity and the very terrorism of light, are the ele- 
 ments which daily increase the happiness and strength of the United 
 States. 
 
 Who would believe that political arithmetics and political economy 
 are even known by name in these countries ? that there are men, 
 husbands, and fathers, who, having the whole year through to work 
 like slaves for the bare maintenance of their families, will still con- 
 tribute to the upholding of such fearful institutions, so utterly useless 
 to the higher interests of mankind ? This goes far to prove the truth 
 of what has been said above, that nations (as individuals also) never 
 do possess more liberty than they deserve to have. 
 
 Under those circumstances, there can be no doubt as to what 
 reflections a visit to the United States must call forth in the minds of 
 travellers, who come from countries where a constant infringement 
 of the natural rights of man has undermined the political as well as 
 social state to such an extent, that the least movement towards the 
 indispensable recovery of those rights, may cause a general breaking 
 up of the whole system \ from countries where the current of aris- 
 tocratic oppression, being poured continually upon the hidden fire 
 of the democratic elements, must daily raise the steam of revolution 
 higher, so that it will soon reach that point of condensation where it 
 must burst) and indiscriminately destroy all obstacles in its way. 
 Can there be any doubt what the feelings of such a traveller must 
 be, when he finds here better order and less governing than at home ; 
 when he enjoys greater liberty, with less fear of insecurity, than he 
 has ever dreamt of; when he sees that socialism, communism, and 
 all other systems, with which European countries are teeming, and 
 which, like Saturn, they seem to create but to devour them again, 
 are, in consequence of that general liberty, rendered quite harmless ? 
 No one, certainly, of true manly feelings, can remain insensible to 
 so great and manifold blessings ; no one will pretend to seek the 
 cause of so much happiness, in a mere concurrence of lucky acci- 
 dents, or in a freak of fate, one day capriciously crowning demo- 
 cracy with the laurels borrowed from monarchy, and the next day 
 tearing away the borrowed crown, and with it, all hopes of final 
 success. No ! Democracy is resting on more solid foundations 
 than the mere chances of fortune ; it is entitled to brighter prospects 
 for its future existence. Whoever wants to become thoroughly con- 
 vinced of this, has but to consult the history of that country where 
 democracy has, so far, celebrated its most brilliant triumphs ; and 
 
xm 
 
 may learn from the history of its rise and progress in the United 
 States, that its importance will keep equal pace with its purity, that 
 its destiny will soon fill the history of the world. 
 
 Leaving now this subject, with our best hopes and wishes for a 
 healthy and continued growth, we will turn our attention to the 
 studies of those foreigners who may wish to gain, by researches into 
 the Historical Literature of this country, a knowledge of its past, and 
 a better understanding of its present state. As few, if any, will 
 have given a clearer idea of the difference between the historical 
 conceptions of this, and those of other countries, than Mr. Salma 
 Hale has done, in an address he delivered, June 11th, 1828, before 
 the Historical Society of New Hampshire (see the Collections of this 
 Society, vol. iii, pp. 123 — 139), the following quotation from it, will 
 find here its proper place : 
 
 " The histories of other countries furnish no models of this ; they 
 generally contain no more than accounts of successive kings, of for- 
 tunate warriors, and of distinguished statesmen. The heroes of the 
 piece stand forward in bold relief, forming the connecting chain of all 
 events, securing the interest of the reader, and relieving the writer, 
 from the greater labor of collecting, arranging, and describing those 
 minor but important events and circumstances, which disclose the 
 character of the age, and show the progress of intellect. Of ancient 
 history, we remember little but the names of kings, consuls, and 
 emperors, and the brilliant deeds they performed ; and in more recent 
 times, the same characters are again brought upon the scene, arrest- 
 ing our attention, dazzling our eyes like the pageants of a show, and 
 then passing off, to give place to others. But a new and different 
 era has commenced. The foundations of society have been broken 
 up, and its elements have been arranged and combined anew. The 
 whole surface has been brought nearer to a level. The ruler and 
 the warrior have sunk in the estimation of their fellow-men ; and 
 the private and peaceful individual has assumed a higher and more 
 dignified station. A field has been opened for the exertion of his 
 talents, and their influence is often powerfully and extensively felt. 
 His virtues and his vices, his habits and his wants have acquired an 
 importance unknown to former times, and force themselves upon the 
 attention of all who look abroad upon the world, to survey its aspect. 
 
 " America, and especially our own country, has been the first and 
 principal theatre of this political and social revolution, and a corre- 
 sponding change in the duties of a historian has become necessary. 
 
XIV 
 
 He cannot satisfy himself, and still less can he satisfy others by per- 
 forming the easy task of reciting the actions of men in power, and 
 at the head of armies, and recording those events which, for the time, 
 produce astonishment and alarm. He must bring other, and far 
 more numerous actors upon the scene ; he must trace events to 
 different and more recondite causes j he must sketch the character, 
 not of eminent individuals only, but of society in the aggregate, and 
 of the age ; he must describe the progress of intellect, the fluctua- 
 tions of opinion, the discoveries of science, the state of morality, of 
 religion, and of the laws. He must gather facts which the mere 
 annalist disdains to record ; he must note circumstances, which the 
 superficial observer disregards ; and to give to his history that in- 
 terest which brilliant incidents lent to the narratives of others, he 
 must endure the more painful labor of making a proper selection 
 and just arrangement of his multifarious materials, and of imparting 
 to his style that purity, precision and force, which is indispensable to 
 compensate the sacrifice of the attractive, but inappropriate and 
 cheaper ornaments of pompous diction and splendid imagery. " 
 
 We see here the adaptation of the principles of democracy to the 
 art of the historian ; and whoever becomes acquainted with Ameri- 
 can historical literature, will admit that its prominent features are no 
 less democratical than is the way of becoming acquainted with it. 
 This may probably have been the reason why the historical literature 
 of the United States has so often proved inaccessible to many, who 
 gave it up, whenever ignorance, dislike, or envy would answer to 
 their pertinent, but certainly misdirected questions, that there was no 
 such literature at all in existence ; an assertion, the falsity of which 
 the following repertory will show. 
 
 The United States have a Historical literature ; but in order to be- 
 come thoroughly acquainted with it, the inquirer must not confine 
 his researches to what information chance may offer, but trace it 
 back to its sources. In doing this, however, he must strictly adhere 
 to the observation of that triad of fundamental rules, which, not un- 
 like the "tria praecepta juris" of the institutions of Roman law, de- 
 mocracy has adopted as the device of its unparalleled successes, viz. : 
 "Look sharp, help yourself and go ahead." — The inquirer has first 
 of all to look sharp, in order to find the extent of American literature 
 in general ; next he has to know how to help himself in taking a 
 survey of the different parts of this dominion, and in scanning and 
 sifting whatever may be of use to him in his pursuits. In this he 
 
XV 
 
 ought not to rely upon others, as he will find therein neither servants 
 nor even helps, but must act and look out for everything himself, 
 and if he wishes to succeed, he must go ahead with the game 
 unshaken resolution, as a settler would in the backwoods, never 
 to i>e discouraged by difficulties or impediments, which to the 
 true scholar, as to every true-hearted laborer in any vocation 
 whatever, will rather prove an incentive than a check upon 
 him. And what are difficulties to true Americans ? There was a 
 time when one could speak of inaccessible rocks, of rapids and tor- 
 rents, which the historian had to surmount and to cross, where he 
 might run the risk of finding himself unexpectedly stopped in his 
 advance, like the bold Emperor Maximilian in his adventurous hunt- 
 ing, by an insurmountable Martinswand of daring and mysterious in- 
 terest, and to use afterwards the reader's charitable faith as the 
 grateful ropes and ladders upon which he climbs again to the safer 
 highway of every-day possibility. The times, however, are gone by, 
 when the monopoly of becoming known and admired was granted 
 only to imperial and lordly adventurers ; and nstead of the said 
 Maximilian, calling by the sounds of his hunting horn not only his 
 companions to the rescue, and exciting the humble astonishment of his 
 faithful subjects, the gallant American sailor, the undaunted back- 
 woodsman, if equally puzzled, whistles Yankee Doodle, and knows 
 how to help himself, unnoticed indeed, but certainly not less 
 courageous. Democracy knows no lasting impediments ; her pro- 
 gress is not stopped by precipices or breakers, but only moderated by 
 a lusty undergrowth, so moderated, as never to become exclusive, 
 and kept in such a spirit that even the advancing pioneer cannot 
 leave behind him the common interest of humanity. To show and 
 explain this movement, the incessant advancing of mankind, guided 
 by its pioneers to a daily more intimate consonance with natural 
 laws and natural truth, is the peaceful task of the historians of De- 
 mocracy. 
 
 In the deeper studies of the various sciences, bibliography, the 
 knowledge of their respective literature, becomes more and more indis- 
 pensable. " Nosse bonos libros magna pars esteruditionis," was the 
 symbol of one of the Fathers of our modern literary history ; " livres 
 nouveaulx, livres vieulx," is the motto of a well known French 
 bibliophile ; and Goethe, with his usual happy tact, makes Mephisto- 
 pheles, in his Faust, ask the question : 
 
 " Wer kann was Durames, wer was Kluges denken, 
 Das nicht die Vorwelt schon gedacht ?" 
 
XVI 
 
 That is : who can bring forth any wise or silly thought that past 
 ages had not had before him ? 
 
 It is therefore not only desirable, but necessary, to be capable of 
 judging the future literary productions by the already existing ones ; 
 and in consequence of the rapid increase of these productions, true 
 bibliographical knowledge is not only the safest insurance against lite- 
 rary depredations and mystifications, and the surest test of originality, 
 but also an actual savings bank for time and money in literary 
 pursuits. Historical sciences especially, being founded on former 
 records only, and depending principally upon a thorough and critical 
 use and knowledge of existing sources, stand more in need than 
 others of the aid of bibliography, as the topographical statistics of 
 literature. 
 
 The few bibliographical works existing concerning America are 
 almost exclusively devoted to historical literature, in which of course 
 foreigners had always a very great share ; but even those are gene- 
 rally devoted to the historical literature of the whole American Con- 
 tinent, or if, like the works of Mr. O. Rich, they pay particular at- 
 tention to the history and description of the United States, yet they 
 are too inconplete as to the single States of the Union. Still there is 
 no lack of local histories, especially in New England, whose sons 
 may justly be called a " documentary people" (see the able article 
 in the North American Review, vol. xlvi, pp. 475 — 599). There 
 is hardly a town of some extent in New England, the historical 
 events of which have not been recorded in some work, particularly 
 written for that purpose, or in centennial sermons, lectures or notices 
 garnered up in the collections of their historical societies. Nor will 
 it appear less surprising that no State of the Union, not even the 
 youngest, is without some American literary production, partially or 
 totally devoted to its geography or history. Little, however, is known 
 abroad of this part of literature, and often not much more is known of 
 it at home, a fact which may be easily accounted for. For, when 
 we consider, that American activity has found full employment in 
 developing and regulating the wealth of such extensive territories ; 
 when we see how gloriously that mission has been fulfilled, and look 
 at the flourishing towns and cities, and at the constant growth of 
 agriculture, trade and commerce ; when we perceive, how regions, 
 which twenty years ago were only trodden by some Indian trader, 
 or some hardy pioneer of science, are now already encompassed 
 within the limits of well regulated States ; when our admiration is 
 awakened by all what has been done in so short a time for education, 
 
XV11 
 
 and for divine worship, for a speedy and easy intercourse between 
 the different States by a vast set of canals and railroads ; when we 
 see everywhere libraries and literary societies multiplying, and the 
 never sleeping public press untired in bringing every kind of ready 
 information to the humble cottage of the poorest laborer ; when we 
 take all this together, we can only be astonished, that men, who did 
 so much for their bodily and intellectual welfare, could find 
 sufficient leisure for laying such an ample foundation of national 
 literature, by far the smallest part of which the following repertory 
 will exhibit. 
 
 A protracted visit to the United States, made for the purpose of becom- 
 ing personally acquainted with the social and political life of Ame- 
 rica, a lively interest in the history and the institutions of this genu- 
 ine home of liberty, fostered for many years, and heightened by 
 gratitude, which every German must feel for the asylum thousands 
 of his compatriots have found here, against oppression at home, 
 joined to a predilection for literary and especially bibliographical 
 studies, induced the writer of the present pages to make a collection 
 of notices of American literature, a part of which digested is pub- 
 lished in the following catalogue. This catalogue, a literary reposi- 
 tory of American local history and geography, is an " exclusively 
 American" one ; being confined to books either published by Ameri- 
 cans at home or abroad, or reprinted in the United States, in which 
 case foreign publications also will find a supplementary notice, but 
 will be marked by asterisks as reprints. The American writings on 
 religious, educational and literary institutions, and on natural history, 
 the State papers and laws of the different States, as well as the bio- 
 graphical works, proved so very numerous, that it was necessary to 
 exclude them for the present, lest this catalogue should increase to 
 too great a size. They will be suitable for special bibliographies, a 
 digest of which, undertaken by men of more profound professional 
 knowledge, will prove as interesting as useful, showing how much 
 American literature has already to offer in those branches. For the 
 literature containing the history and the antiquities of the various 
 Indian tribes, though for the most part less important than abundant, 
 and collected with equal industry and predilection, we also could not 
 find a place in this repository, since it requires an analytical cata- 
 logue, which no one could presume to prepare without having 
 studied the subject more thoroughly, or without extensive travels, 
 which would have been indispensable, in order to become personally 
 acquainted with the most prominent of the Indian tribes.

 Even in the repository which is presented here to the courteous 
 reader, it seemed more becoming to abstain from criticisms, 
 however easy these might appear to be to Europeans who are 
 acquainted with the requisites and better models of historical art. 
 The difference between the history of a democracy and that of other 
 States, as exhibited above in the able speech of Mr. Hale, is so great, 
 that only a residence of several years in this thoroughly practical 
 country, could enable a European traveller, who has generally 
 nearly as much to forget as to learn in the United States, to give an 
 impartial judgment on this matter. 
 
 The writer has therefore thought it preferable, and upon the whole 
 more useful, to refer the reader to the notices and criticisms of a 
 great part of the productions of American literature, given in the 
 well known and excellent North American Review. 
 
 Although this repository, like all other bibliographical compilations, 
 past and present, cannot lay claim to an entire completeness, still it is 
 hoped that no standard work, which lies within the plan the writer 
 had proposed to himself, will be found wanting. If, however, such an 
 omission should be detected, the fault can certainly not be said to arise 
 from any want of conscientiousness, and is entitled to greater indul- 
 gence than it would be in similar cases in Europe. For in Europe 
 the gathering of accurate bibliographical notices is an easy and 
 pleasant task, when compared with the trouble and difficulties to be 
 encountered in the same pursuit in this country where the sources 
 of bibliographical instruction, as far as they exist, are scattered here 
 and there ; where the collector, as previously remarked, must be con- 
 stantly on his guard, and can rely only on himself for every accu- 
 rate notice which he may want ; and where, besides, the attempt to 
 supply these notices has but very little of the " spiritual pleasure of 
 a trip from page to page, from book to book," but requires an actual 
 and fatiguing tour in search of literature. It requires indeed a true 
 ; ' bibliophile voyageur." 
 
 The differences which exist between several parts of the Union, 
 and which have been described so often, and lately so well by Che- 
 valier, give also a different and local tint to their literature, and the 
 individual independence of democracy imparts throughout to the lite- 
 rary productions an individuality, a local independence, and a seclu- 
 sion, which is greatly enhanced by the want of convenient and trust- 
 worthy organs for the forthcoming literature, and by the compara- 
 tively exorbitant expenses connected with the conveyance of single 
 books from the more distant parts of the interior of the country.

 The same local coloring is to be met with in the libraries and in the 
 antiquarian book-trade, which makes it a mere matter of chance 
 whether one is likely in the Eastern States to be able to obtain some 
 Southern or Western publication or not. 
 
 Public libraries, when not restricted to particular sciences, can no- 
 where be expected to be very complete in the historical part. Still, 
 a highly commendable tendency to pay particular attention to the 
 historical literature of the Union, has in several of the larger libra- 
 ries led to the happiest results. The libraries of the existing Histori- 
 cal Societies, and especially the rich collections of those at Worcester, 
 Mass., at Boston, and at New York, were more confined to Ameri- 
 can history. With regard to private libraries exclusively devoted to 
 this branch of literature, particular mention is due to the very exten- 
 sive collection of the gentleman in Washington City, to whom this 
 repertory has been gratefully dedicated, and to whose kind and libe- 
 ral promotion of all historical or literary researches more praise is 
 due than words could well express. 
 
 It is more than probable that an accurate comparison would lead 
 to the result, that from the time of the origin of this republic, more 
 money has been spent in the United States for the formation and 
 supply of libraries, than in any other country in the world ; a branch 
 of American activity and generous patriotism but little known abroad 
 perhaps because even native Americans will, in looking at these li- 
 braries in the spirit of impatient emulation, take as a scale the more 
 voluminous but also far older libraries of Europe. If the ever ac- 
 tive American liberality has not yet been directed to that really pa- 
 triotic design of forming as complete a library as possible of writings 
 concerning the history of the whole American continent, it may be 
 hoped that the daily increasing and widely spreading feeling of the 
 high importance of this object may soon lead to the conception of 
 such a plan. 
 
 The American Continent, certainly not destined to foster the pre- 
 judices and the torpidity which generally press down, or paralyze any 
 further elevation of the nations of the old world, has in the history of 
 the abortive endeavors of Europe to impart to it her political and social 
 miseries, the most effective preservative against enslaving compliance 
 and degrading want of self-respect. 
 
 The colonial history of the settlements in America must appear to 
 Americans like the early reminiscences of an independent, self-made 
 man, who, having once been an unloved step-child, was in his youth 
 thrown back on his own resources, by the contempt and the priva- 
 
XX 
 
 tions he experienced, and finds now, upon a retrospect of his past 
 struggles, the best encouragement for the maintenance of his indepen- 
 dence, and the surest guarantee against backslidings. The history of 
 their own country, which was the first to throw off the yoke of 
 Europe, must fill Americans with a just pride and a high sense of 
 the real vocation of the western hemisphere ; a vocation which only 
 can be fulfilled by following strictly the policy so clearly pointed out 
 by the best and greatest of the Sons of America, both by precept and 
 example, — the policy of keeping entirely independent of European 
 politics, neither interfering with their affairs, nor allowing them to 
 interfere in any way with those of the United States. 
 
 The United States, being the first of the republics of America, must 
 have an incontestible interest in the fate of a continent, over which 
 they are to spread the blessings of liberty ; and to them it would prove, 
 therefore, a highly creditable and patriotic undertaking, to collect in 
 a particular library all the notices and facts recorded in the histori- 
 cal literature of this continent. They should not allow foreigners 
 to anticipate them in such an undertaking, which will prove in future 
 times of still higher importance as well as interest, than at present. 
 The old objections, that there was no taste for literary pursuits of 
 that kind in the United States, that hands would prove a better sup- 
 port of true democracy than papers, and that facts are wanted, not 
 books, are now antiquated, and can no longer be taken as the true 
 principle of a nation which has done already so much for its intel- 
 lectual interests. 
 
 The spirit of genuine national and political economy, assisted by 
 the blessings of a free constitution, has long shown to the citizens of 
 the United States what position is due to material as well as to in- 
 tellectual productions and interests ; and a nation, which soon became 
 convinced that it is given to intellectual poweraloneto reconcile the 
 differences which in Europe have become so threatening under a 
 state of pauperism, and which can no longer be peaceably endured by 
 the side of the monopolies of the higher classes, will certainly be dis- 
 posed to extend protection to every scientific undertaking which tends 
 to throw a greater light upon the history of their happy country, and 
 to renew the memory of the noble deeds of their forefathers. 
 
 May the following repertory, as far as possible, facilitate the 
 foundation of such an American Historical Library ; and may it 
 prove useful to further researches into the history of a country, 
 which every one must love, who knows how to understand it !
