BIBLIOGRAPHY.--There is no complete bibliography of the varied and
extensive literature relating to Illinois; but Richard Bowker's _State
Publications_, part ii. (New York, 1902), and the chapters of E. B.
Greene's _The Government of Illinois_ (New York, 1904) contain useful
lists of documents, monographs and books. Physiography is well
described in _The Illinois Glacial Lobe_ (U.S. Geological Survey,
Monograph, xxxviii.) and _The Water Resources of Illinois_ (U.S.
Geological Survey, Annual Report, xviii.). The Illinois State
Laboratory of Natural History, connected with the State University,
has published S. A. Forbes and R. E. Richardson's _Fishes of Illinois_
(Urbana, 1909). Information concerning economic conditions may be
derived from the volumes of the _Twelfth Census of the United States_,
which treat of Agriculture, Manufactures and Mines and Quarries: a
summary of agricultural conditions may be found in _Census Bulletin
No. 213_. Constitutional and administrative problems are discussed in
Elliott Anthony's _Constitutional History of Illinois_; Greene's _The
Government of Illinois_, and H. P. Judson's _The Government of
Illinois_ (New York, 1900). Among the reports of the state officials,
those of the Railroad and Ware House Commission, of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, and of the Commissioners of Charity are especially
valuable. There is an historical study of the problem of taxation,
entitled, "History of the Struggle in Illinois to realize Equality in
Taxation," by H. B. Hurd, in the _Publications of the Michigan
Political Science Association_ (1901). Local government is described
by Albert Shaw, _Local Government in Illinois_ (Johns Hopkins
University Studies, vol. i. No. 10). The _Blue Book of the State of
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
