"guides," "pioneers," "rangers," "pensioners," "sufferers," "associated loyalists," "friends to government," "King's friends," "provincial troops," "royalists," "tories," etc., but usually designated since the American revolution under the one title of "American Loyalists." Generally speaking, the volumes show information and intelligence conveyed to the Commissioners to prevent imposition and fraud; examinations and decisions on temporary support claims, calendars of original memorials, vouchers, etc.; minutes of the Commissioners in London and in Nova Scotia; the Commission's reports, claims liquidated, acts of Parliament establishing and regulating the Commission; examinations and determinations of claimants in Nova Scotia and London; and Royal Institution transcripts of memorials, correspondence, accounts, returns, paylists, etc., 1778-1783. One volume, not strictly belonging to the series, is filled with East Florida claims. These transcripts were made between 1898-1903, for the Library, under the supervision of the late B. F. Stevens, of London, and with the permission of the authorities in control of the original archives. FORD COLLECTION. This collection is composed, in the main, of autographs of Americans of the American revolution and the nineteenth century, and contains about 60,000 loose pieces and some bound volumes. Not all of the miscellaneous papers have yet been completely classified and arranged. There are many autographs of signers of the Declaration of Independence, and a number of letters by Washington and Franklin, letters to General Hand, and many other papers bearing on the revolution. In the nineteenth-century period there are autographs of the presidents; heads of departments; members of Congress; governors; generals, etc.; the correspondence of Andrew Jackson with W. B. Lewis; papers of Noah Webster and letters to him and to W. G. Webster; and correspondence of F. R. Hassler with numerous men of science on the subject of the coast survey. There are many documents of the different departments of government, bearing official signatures; also much private correspondence of the Ford family, and numerous autographs of distinguished Europeans, including British ministers of state, peers, etc. The collection is of a varied character. Many of the pieces are valuable only as autographs while others have great historical or biographical interest. The collection was made by Gordon Lester Ford and his sons, Worthington Chauncey Ford and Paul Leicester Ford, between 1840 and 1898. It was presented to the Library, in 1899, by the late J. Pierpont Morgan, Esq. In the first of the following lists is presented a supplementary catalogue to the group list of "Manuscript Collections" in the Library, bringing the record down through the year 1914. The second list is a guide to the historical texts which have been printed in the Library's Bulletin from the beginning through the year 1914. Literary texts and letters, as well as texts and articles non-historical in character, are not included.
