Excerpt from A Bibliography State of Maine, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Period to 1891 This work has been compiled under the auspices of the Maine Historical Society. With certain exceptions, its purpose is to give the full title of every book, pamphlet, and reputable magazine article at any time printed in or having reference to Maine, and also all of which the authors were, at the time of writing or publishing, residents within the state. The exceptions are chiefly public, municipal and legal reports, and pamphlets which relate to organizations not of an historical, literary, charitable or religious character. Although many of the best liter ary productions of the State are to be found only in its newspapers, no attempt to enumerate these has been made with the exception of such as have been preserved in other form.
