Excerpt from The Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society, 1898, Vol. 1 Whether this omission springs from carelessness, ignorance, indif ference, or design, is now of little moment. The fact that such a condition does exist makes it imperative that it Should be remedied not only in the interest of historical truth, but of racial fair play. Certain elements in the make-up of the American people have not hesitated on occasion to masquerade, at the expense of the Irish, in borrowed plumes, and to pose under plundered laurels. It is the duty of honest historians to look after the rights of the lawful owners. The history of Irish immigration to this country is of profound interest. The motive that inspired this sturdy people in coming to these shores was largely the one that animated and inspired all immigration - discontent with the existing home conditions, civil, religious, political, industrial, and the hope of living under better and nobler conditions here.

Excerpt from Journal and Proceedings, 1921, Vol. 1 In the above abstract the Liabilities in respect of Rent and the Library are excluded, because the full amounts for them are already included in the ordinary expenditure. Exclusive of ordinary items of receipt and expenditure, the net result for the year 1920 shows that the outgoings (including the extension of the Journal, with corresponding increase in postage and stationery, Local Section expenses and increased Library Grant) have not seriously exceeded the income for the year.

Excerpt from The Camosun, Vol. 1: November, 1908 And though our class is scattered, Perhaps to meet no more, We'll ever bear its memory Through the years that lie before. And' when our eyes are old and blind, And life is desolate, Remembrance will bring back again Our friends of nineteen-eight.

Excerpt from Ole Miss. 1918-1919, Vol. 23: The Year Book of the University of Mississippi The soldier stood upon his height, A grey-clad figure dreaming, Amid the boughs and light of leaves And chequered sunlight streaming. His gaze was distant, far beyond The horizon's purple dimness; Lamar and Science's frowning fronts Lent academic grimness. Below him jocund voices trailed, Nor knew nor felt his gleaming.

Excerpt from American Colonial Tracts Monthly, Vol. 1 The Compiler of the following Volume having been led by circumstances into an examination somewhat extensive, of the sources of our history, experienced much difficulty in procuring the Pamphlets and smaller Tracts that relate to the Origin, Settlement and Progress of the American Colonies. Of the vast number of publications of this description that were made during the two centuries and a half succeeding the discovery of America, a few only can be found in this country, and these are almost entirely confined to libraries connected with our public institutions: many of them are of great value as authentic historical records, and all are interesting to those who take pleasure in tracing step by step the progress of the Colonies, in population, wealth, and power, within the comparatively short period that intervened between the landing of the first white man upon the Continent, and the establishment of a free and independent Government by the People of the United States of America. These considerations suggested the plan of the Collection now commenced. Of the thirteen Tracts contained in the present volume, Nos. 2 and 10 have not heretofore been printed, and Nos. 8 and 9 now appear for the first time in a connected form: the others, as will be seen by referring to the title pages which are copied at large, are republications.
