Volume XXII of the Society’s _Collections_, _The Journals of Captain Meriwether Lewis and John Ordway_, distributed in the summer of 1916, has attracted much attention at the hands of historical editors and others. Of it the _Iowa Journal of History and Politics_ says: “It is perhaps not too much to say that, no publication of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin possesses a wider interest than this book.” The review in the _Washington Historical Quarterly_ concludes: “Those who have collected the works of Lewis and Clark should certainly secure this book. It makes a rich supplement to any of the other editions.” In similar fashion the review of the book published in the _American Historical Review_ closes with the statement, “The Historical Society of Wisconsin is to be congratulated on the publication of this volume.” Volume XXIII of the Society’s _Collections_ (_Frontier Advance on the Upper Ohio, 1778-79_) and Mr. Merk’s _Economic History of Wisconsin During the Civil War Decade_ have been distributed too recently to have attracted much attention at the hands of the reviewers at the time of our going to press. On the part of the newspapers of Wisconsin, however, Mr. Merk’s volume has already evoked much notice and comment. The Milwaukee _Sentinel_ and other papers of the state have republished numerous extracts from the book, while the Chippewa Falls _Independent_ devoted special attention to the chapters on the history of the lumbering industry in Wisconsin. The expected comment of our historical neighbors on these two volumes will be noted in a future number of the _Magazine_.
