PREFATORY NOTE TO VOLUME XI.
T
HE eleventh volume of the
publications of the Ohio State
Archaeological and Historical Society,
which is herewith
issued in book form, includes the
quarterlies of the
Society previously published as numbers
I and II for July and
October respectively for 1902, and the
supplement to Volume XI
comprising a complete index for Volumes
I to XI inclusive.
This Volume XI therefore as to its
reading matter, consists
solely of the two quarterlies above
mentioned. Volume XII
will therefore begin with the January
quarterly for 1903. The
previous ten volumes were issued without
complete indexes.
There has been a great demand for a
complete index to the
Society's publications. That index and
the two quarterlies fur-
nish sufficient material for a volume.
The quarterlies hereafter
issued will be on such dates as to
complete the volume with
each current year, thereby avoiding much
confusion which has
arisen from the fact that the volume
began with July and ended
with April. It will begin hereafter with
January and end with
October as it properly should. The index
included in this vol-
ume it is believed will be found to be
not only complete, but a
most valuable list of subjects
pertaining to Ohio history, alike
suggestive to the special student of
Ohio lore and the general
reader who seeks such a list of topics
for ready reference.
