IN THE
HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA.
1There are more than one thousand titles of works actually consulted in these volumes, and many of them named in foot-notes, which do not appear in this list. The catalogue is, however, complete down to the discovery of gold in 1848, and practically so down to 1856. The omissions of later date are general works of reference, cyclopedias, etc .; speeches, addresses, orations, not directly historical in their naturc; publications emanating from or relating to various California institutions, associations, com- panies, orders, churches, banks, courts, schools, etc .; legal briefs, county and municipal regulations, lawo text-books, briefs, and miscellaneous public documents; works of fiction and science ; newspapers, and other similar classes. These works in the aggregate have offorded me much information; indeed there is hardly a Californian book, pamphlet, or paper in my Library which is not in a certain sense historical; but space does not permit a full catalogue, and I am obliged to restrict the list with few exceptions to material that bears directly on history.
