It has been compiled with the need in mind of the general reader and of the student who is just beginning research in the alluring field of early Virginia history. Numerous titles have been omitted for the reason that the number of pages allotted to this booklet requires forbearance and retrenchment. The earnest purpose of the compilers has been to include a good representation of those books and contributions in periodicals that have stood the test of time. Again, yielding to the demands of economy, the titles have been reduced in length from the full style followed in standard catalogue entries. There is enough information included in each title to enable the consultant to judge of the contents of the book to which the title refers, and to learn its date and size; enough to whet his historical appetite and to cause him to hasten with joy to the nearest college or reference library, where he will receive a happy welcome and be shown the books he wishes in original edition, in reprint, or in reproduced form of photostat, microfilm, microcard, or microsheet. The arrangement of titles has been designed for browsing: secondary works are arranged by author under certain general subjects; primary materials, following collections of original narratives, by date from "before 1607" to 1699. The senior editors wish to acknowledge the cordial cooperation of Miss Spotswood Hunnicutt, and to extend to our collaborator, Mr. James A. Servies, Reference Librarian of William and Mary College, warm gratitude and high praise for the characteristic industry and enthusiasm he has displayed in every step of this compilation. His rare gift of discerning bibliographical values has been constantly in evidence.
