The Old South Association asks the attention of teachers and students of American Histojy to the Old South Leaflets. These leaflets are reprints of important original papers, accompanied by useful historical and bibhographical notes; they consist on an average of six- teen pages, and are sold at the low price of five cents a copy or four dollars per hundred, which simply covers the cost of publication. The Old South Work was founded by Mrs. Mary Hemenway, and was maintained by her and by provision of her will for twenty-eight years. It has now been taken over by the Old South Association, and a generous contribution was made for the purpose by the Hemenway Trustees. The object of this work is to interest young people in American history and politics, to the end that they may become useful citizens. For this purpose and for use in schools and colleges, these reproductions of historical documents (not easily accessible) are valviahlp; Hplng sold at a low price, they can be used freely for club or class work. There are now two hundred and twelve of these leaflets, and others will be published Iv^iw time to time, as occasion demands. The original two hundred leaflets were edited by Edwin D. Mead; Nos. 201 and 205 by Katharine P. Loring; 202 by George G. Wolkins; 203 and 204 by John C. S. Andrew; 206 by C. Park Pressey; 207, 208, and 210-12 by S. E. Morison; 213 by L. V. Roth.
