The Annals are to be a set of at least one volume per year, covering the years 1818-1935 and including an abstract of every newspaper story that has recorded a local event or expressed a local opinion. The material is arranged alphabetically in topical divisions. The abstracts are numbered consecutively as thus arranged. A chronological index brings together by number all abstracts from the newspaper of a given date, and a proper names and subject heading index offers an additional check. The editors have sought to preserve and arrange in this series information that is nowhere else ordered and readily subject to control. To avoid duplication they have concentrated their efforts on one major newspaper file the principal one for the period. This method of work leaves out of account the diversities of opinion expressed by other newspapers. In the hope that the other files may be covered in respect of the opinions there expressed, the present volume is numbered as Part I, Part II, when and as produced, will complete the presentation of opinion from other sources. The file of the DAILY TRUE DEMOCRAT has been used in the preparation of this volume. In 1852 the editor of the DAILY TRUE DEMOCRAT was Thomas Browne. Its policies were Free Soil. |
