The Cambridge History of English and American Literature in 18 Volumes (1907–21).
VOLUME XV. Colonial and Revolutionary Literature; Early National Literature, Part I.

I. Travellers and Observers, 1763–1846

Bibliography

Professor Max Farrand’s suggestion to the American Historical Association of the need of a systametic bibliography of travels in America has been taken up by Messers. Bernard C. Steiner and Louis H. Dielman, who are now collecting titles for the work.

The following lists may be supplemented by a general reference to the reprints, and various original works, by the indefatigable Dr. Thwaites, to the publications of the firms of Clark and Burrows Brothers, of Cleveland, and to the somewhat arbitrary editions by Elliot Coues.

The present bibliography, which is intended to be representative, and under the circumstances could not be made complete, contains no reference to manuscripts that have been made public since 1846. It is virtually restricted to American and British books in English, with a few on Canada, and a few translations. In general, but one place of publication has been noted for any one book. Some titles are given more fully than others, for purposes of illustration.

Several details in the chapter are derived from a manuscript article, entitled Fifty Years of Travels in the United States, 1789–1839, by Mr. H. Barrett Learned, of Washington, D. C.
