For several years professor Solon J. Buck of the University of Illinois, has been gathering data for a comprehensive bibliography of the history of Illinois. A section of the work, in three parts, has lust been published by the State Historical Library. The first, and more interesting, portion is an account of the books of the earlier travellers and writers who visited or described the country now embraced within the limits of the state, from 1768, when the Illinois country was, by the treaty of Paris, transferred from France to Great Britain, down to 1865. The earlier books of the first French explorers are reserved for another volume covering the French regime in Illinois.
