The Papers Of Sir William Johnson Prepared For Publication By The Division Of Archives And History PDF Download

Excerpt from The Papers of Sir William Johnson, Vol. 14: General Index Now, with the publication of the index, the series which is the fruit of the labors of many dedicated scholars, and thousands of hours of painstaking labor, comes to a close. Users of the Johnson Papers need to be cautioned, however, that this series and its index do not cover the many Johnson documents which were published in the Documentary History or in Documents Relative to the Colonial History; it was the policy of the editors from'the beginning not to reprint these papers. Many are listed in Day's Calendar of Sir William John son Manuscripts (1909) and are noted in the first chronological series. They are also included in the Chronological List in Volume XIII. As far as possible this is a topical, or subject, index and seeks to classify references in their most useable form. Some arbitrary decisions had to be made in choosing among multiple spellings of Indian names, and in limiting cross-references. A great effort was made properly to identify persons and places where references were general or vague, and here some errors may have crept in, as they have in the general editing. Yet, the wisdom of the course followed, we hope may be proved in the use which is made of the index, and, for this, we trust it will be found adequate.
