Volume 4 of The Dent Uniform Edition Of Dickens' Journalism, The Uncommercial Traveller And Other Papers 1859-70 is a significant literary event for Dickensian studies. Like the earlier volumes of Charles Dicken's work, the articles and writings of thise literary compendium of Dicken's writings is enhanced for academia and Dickensian scholarship by a list of abbreviations, a prefance, introduction, acknowledgements, as well as "Note on the Text and Illustrations", select bibliography, "Dicken's Life and Times 1859-70", a list of illustrations, glossary, index, and four appendices: The Great International Walking-Match; Prefaces; Descriptive headlines added by Dickens to articles in the volume which were included in UT1; and Complete listing of Dickens' known journalism, December 1833-August 1869. Highly recommended.

Index by Participants
[from the book of the table of contents]

This book is great for those who want some first hand accounts of the early years of Ohio's History.

"Domesticating the Street" tells the story of the city of Hartford as it developed in the 19th century from a Yankee, homogenous place to a bustling, highly diverse, challenging salad bowl of immigrants working hard to survive and come to terms with their new world. The book reveals the story of the prostitutes who had claimed an area not far from the Old State House; and the "newsies," immigrant children who sold newspapers in flagrant disregard for Yankee strictures about domesticity, care of children, family structure, or mingling with strangers. It's a great book, one of the few about Hartford that is in print. It was thoroughly researched, nicely cited, and is a mainstay for classes and individuals studying the history of one of America's oldest towns.

Les Roberts' Cleveland settings were what attracted me to him in the first place: I went to college near Cleveland, and have family there. But having been attracted, I found myself delighted as well: this is a great series of detective novels...good plot, interesting characters, and some very masterful writing. I recommend the whole series--highly.

If anyone can locate a copy of this book for me, I'd appreciate it.

TIA.

Under an ordinance passed in 1785 the virgin lands of the Northwest Territory were offered for sale to the public, the first public land in the U.S. to be subdivided. Four land offices were established in Ohio for the auction and private sale of these lands. Sales from the Marietta Land Office, covering twelve present-day Ohio counties--the entire southeastern portion of the state--are the subject of this book.

In an easy-to-use tabular format, there is a complete list of the 7,500 persons who bought land in southeastern Ohio from 1800 to 1840. Data given includes the purchasers' name (in alphabetical order), date of purchase, place of residence at the time of the purchase, and the range, township, and section of the purchased land. The information in this tightly organized book is a distillation of the contents of thirty volumes of unindexed land records.

This volume is available on our Family Archive CD 765

This is the first collection of records the researcher should turn to in any genealogical investigation in the Buckeye State. Taking the place of pre-1820 census records, this work presents a county-by-county list of Ohio settlers and residents from about 1800 to 1825. Along with the 1801 tax list of the Virginia Military District, it contains the names of taxpayers listed in various county tax rolls, and it also contains lists of original proprietors and settlers (taken from other sources), names of holders of military warrants, voters' lists, householders' lists, occasional lists of Revolutionary soldiers, and lists of resident proprietors.

The work is arranged by county, with multiple tax lists arranged chronologically thereunder. There is at least one tax list given for each of the seventy-five counties covered, the combined lists naming about 50,000 taxpayers. Each county tax list is accompanied by a brief history of the county's formation. Researchers should note that tax lists were not available for the following counties: Auglaize, Carroll, Erie, Fulton, Lake, Lucas, Noble, Ottawa, Paulding, Summit, Vinton, and Wyandot.

Our reprint combines the original 1971 publication and the 1973 index, both first published by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
