Excerpt from Historical Collections, Vol. 12: Collections and Researches Made by the Pioneer and Historical Society of This State of Michigan It is with no less of satisfaction than has accompanied the issue of previous volumes, that the committee of historians of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society view the completion of another volume of their Historical Collections. The twelfth of the series, it is believed to be no whit behind its predecessors in interest, while the purely historical character of its contents in some important respects enhances its value. The first half of the present volume embraces the fourth installment of papers from the Canadian archives at Ottawa, whose value is, by this time, too well recognized to need elaboration. The latter half comprises copies of papers in possession of the old State Historical Society at Detroit, a large number of which were published in Vol. 8, of these Collections. These pertain, for the most part, to the history of Michigan while yet a territory, and throw much light upon the forms of government and political methods of that time, as well as furnishing much curious and interesting information of a miscellaneous nature. It should be noted that in occasional instances where there may seem to be a discrepancy in statement or in name, whenever verification has been impossible, the copy has been in all cases closely followed, and in such instances, too, the correct meaning is usually self evident. The committee bespeak for Vol. 12 a careful perusal, confident that all who bestow it will feel amply repaid for so doing.

Excerpt from Historical Collections: Collection and Researches Made by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, Vol. 13: Including Reports of Officers and Papers Read at the Annual Meeting of 1888 Volume XII. Will be found rich in historical matter, consisting as it does of two classes of matter only: one comprising an installment of the papers from the Canadian archives at Ottawa, the other 00pies of documents in the possession of the old Historical Swiety at Detroit. The value of both these collections is too well known to need enlargement upon at the present time. The present volume comprises the proceedings of the last annual meeting together with papers read on that occasion, and other contributions of a miscellaneous nature, embracing many subjects of interest. It will be noticed that some of these contributions have been for some time in the hands of the Committee, awaiting an opportunity for publication, more mat ter having accumulated than could be immediately utilized. The general historical value of these articles, however, though some local allusions may seem a trifle out of date, was deemed too great to justify their exclusion. The Committee anticipate that the present volume will prove a source of pleasure to the pioneers especially, to whom it will many times recall the experiences of themselves and others during the early days of our commonwealth, while to others it cannot fail to be a source of profit as illustrative of times and events of which the present generation can have but little practical concep tion. A large amount-of valuable matter on hand still awaits dissemination by means of printer's ink. The next volume, which it is expected will be promptly issued, will consist almost entirely of Canadian papers relating to the War of 1812, and the Committee feel that all lovers of historical research may justly await its appearance with enthusiastic expectation.

Excerpt from Historical Collections: Collection and Researches Made by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, Vol. 13: Including Reports of Officers and Papers Read at the Annual Meeting of 1888 With the rounding out of another year and the recurrence of the annual meeting of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, it affords gratification to the Committee of Historians to be able to call the attention of the Society and the public generally to two volumes of their "Historical Collections," issued from the press during the twelvemonth just closing. Volume XII. will be found rich in historical matter, consisting as it does of two classes of matter only: one comprising an installment of the papers from the Canadian archives at Ottawa, the other copies of documents in the possession of the old Historical Society at Detroit.
