Illinois_ (Springfield, 1903); H. B. Hurd's Revised Statutes of Illinois (Chicago, 1903), and Starr and Curtis, _Annotated Statutes of the State of Illinois_ (Chicago, 1896), are also of value. The standard histories of the state are J. Moses, _Illinois, Historical and Statistical_ (2 vols., Chicago, 1889); and H. Davidson and B. Stuvé, _Complete History of Illinois_ (Springfield, 1874). Edward G. Mason's _Chapters from Illinois History_ (Chicago, 1901) is of interest for the French explorations and the colonial period. C. E. Boyd in "The County of Illinois" (_American Hist. Rev._ vol. iv.), "Record Book and Papers of John Todd" (_Chicago Historical Society, Collections_, iv.), C. E. Carter, _Great Britain and the Illinois Country, 1763-1774_ (Washington, 1910), R. L. Schuyler, _The Transition of Illinois to American Government_ (New York, 1909), and W. H. Smith in _The St Clair Papers_ (Cincinnati, 1882), and the _Territorial Records of Illinois_ ("Publications of the State Historical Library," No. 3) are important for the period until 1818. Governor Thomas Ford's _History of Illinois_ (Chicago, 1854), and Governor John Reynolds's _My Own Times_ (1855), are contemporary sources for 1818-1846; they should be supplemented by N. W. Edwards's _History of Illinois (1778-1833)_ and _Life of Ninian Edwards_ (Springfield, 1870), E. B. Washburne's _Edwards Papers_ (Chicago, 1884), C. H. Garnett's _State Banks of Issue in Illinois_ (Univ. of Ill., 1898), and N. G. Harris's _History of Negro Servitude in Illinois_ (Chicago, 1904). C. E. Carr's _The Illini_ (Chicago, 1904) is a study of conditions in Illinois from 1850-1860. W. W. Lusk's _Politics and Politicians of Illinois, the Illinois Constitutional Convention_ (1862), _the Granger Movement in Illinois_, and _Illinois Railway Legislation and Common Control_ (University of Illinois Studies), _Street Railway Legislation in Illinois_ (_Atlantic Monthly_, vol. xciii.), are of value for conditions after 1860. The publications of the Chicago Historical Society, of the "Fergus Historical" series, of the State Historical Library, of the Wisconsin Historical Society, also the Michigan Pioneer Collections, contain valuable documents and essays. FOOTNOTES: [1] The statistics for years prior to 1900 are taken from reports of the U.S. Census, those for years after 1900 from the _Year Books_ of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It should be borne in mind that in census years, when comparison can be made, the two sets of statistics often vary considerably.
