"The purpose of A Guide to Historical Literature, as stated in the preface, was not to supply an exhaustive bibliography in the various fields of history but 'to furnish a carefully chosen list of available books in each of the several fields to the English reading audience, primarily to libraries, teachers, and graduate students.' Nineteen years have now passed since the Guide was published and it is in need of revision. It is the purpose of this paper to prepare a bibliography to bring up-to-date the section in the Guide on the colonial period of United States History. The plan and purpose as stated by Dr. Marcus Wilson Jernegan, editor of the United States History section, has been followed: 'In planning this Guide it was recognized at the outset that the existence of the special bibliographies for American history listed under (XI) would make it unnecessary and undesirable to give in this section treatment proportional to that accorded other fields in this volume. Consequently, it was determined to limit the choice of titles in this section chiefly to important standard works and to the more valuable special studies. It has seemed desirable, however, to include certain items of less permanent value, because they discuss important topics which have not as yet received authoritative or definitive treatment.' The scope of this bibliography is limited to the period from 1492 to 1776"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1950." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Hazel Adele Pulling, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references.
