Description:The first volume of the Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society, issued in parts from 1850 to 1836, has been out of print for several years. Other volumes, or parts, have been issued meantime, and the. demand for the first volume to complete sets, is constantly increasing. The Society has therefore concluded, by permission of the Legislature, to reprint it, and in so doing, to make such changes and improvements as seemed necessary, by correcting typographical and other errors.The volume of which this is a reprint, was composed of five parts, orpamphlets, issued in various years. The titles are as follows:1. Annals of the Minnesota Historical Society. Saint Paul: Printed by JamesM. Goodhue. 1850. 8°; pp. 82. [Two editions printed.]2. Annals of the Minnesota Historical Society, for the year A. D. 1850-1. Comprising an Address of the President; the annual report of the Secretary; two papers by S. R. Riggs, one on the " Destiny of the Indian Tribes." the other on the "Dakota Language:" and lastly. "A Memoir of the History and Physicalgeography of Minnesota." ifcc &c. St. Paul; D. A. Robertson. Printer, 1851.3. Annals of the Minnesota Historical Society: 1852; containing the annualaddress by J. 11. Simpson. First Lieut. Corps U. S. Topographical Engineers:and other papers. Published by order of the Executive Council, St. Paul.Owens A Moore, Printers, Minnesota Office. 4. Annals of the Minnesota Historical Society, for 1853. Number IV. Printedby order of the Executive Council. St. Paul; Owens & Moore, Printers, 185S.5. Materials for the Future History of Minnesota: being a report of the Minnesota Historical Society, to the Legislative Assembly, in accordance with a Joint Resolution. Fifteen hundred copies ordered to be printed for the use ofthe Legislature. St. Paul: Joseph K. Brown, Territorial Printer.Excepting the last named party, only a small edition of each was printed, and imperfectly distributed. Most of them were printed at the expense of the Society, whose membership at that time was small, and the fees difficult to collect; and were executed by different publishers, under varying circumstances. Hence their style, size, etc., in not uniform, and they are not consecutively paged. A fact that detracts from the value and convenience of the volume as a whole, while the poor typography and paper, though the best that could then be procured in the Territory, have always created an unfavorable impression against the work, when compared with the neat publications of other institutions.Some portions of the earlier numbers are omitted in this reprint, (such as letters read at annual meetings, lists of donations, tables of distances, meteorological notes, acts of Legislature, etc. ,) because, though useful and interesting at the time, their value at present will not warrant us in re-printing them. Much of the original Parts was designed to influence immigration, and disseminate abroad information regarding the climate, soil, topography, and advantages of the Territory. These, unless they contain historical facts, are not repeated.A few notes have been added to this edition, explanatory of the text, and bringing down information on the subject to the present date. They are enclosed in [ ] brackets. A brief sketch of the Society from its organization to the present year, and a list of the officers, past and present, are affixed to this preface, while a copious index of names and subjects will be found at the close.We take pleasure in sending out this volume to our members and correspondents, feeling assured that the value of its articles on early Minnesota history and biography, will make it interesting and useful to all persons investigating the history of our State, and worthy to lead the series of volumes of our Collections already issued, or to be published hereafter.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
