Excerpt from A Selected Bibliography and Syllabus of the History of the South, Vol. 18: 1584-1876 The Bibliography, Part I of the compilation here presented, contains, in addition to the guides and bibliographies, a selec tion of the more important works cited in the chapters of the Syllabus. A number of books in the general field of American history and all titles taken from periodicals are omitted from the Bibliography. It seemed unnecessary to list the former, while the periodical literature is sufficiently described in the Syllabus itself. The scheme of classification used in the Bib liography is given in the table of contents. In the Syllabus, or Part II, we have attempted a chronologi cal and topical outline of Southern history from the period of exploration through Reconstruction, and have sought to give due weight to all the factors, political, social, economic, and racial. That have contributed to the molding of Southern life and character. The necessity of conserving space and the fact that Southwestern history has become a field in itself, led us to give but slight attention to that section.
