This attempt at a Scotch-Irish bibliography of Pennsylvania was undertaken at the request of a prominent member of the American Society, whose zeal and gifts mark him as the future his- torian of the race. Having the need of it made apparent to him, the compiler was prompted to begin the work, and the result is here given for what it may be worth as an aid to the annalist or the anxious searcher in quest of family records. The classification by counties has been deemed best, having in view the use of the list to be made by those engaged in tracing their ancestry. Many of the titles given yield no hint of the ample store of Scotch-Irish annals within the volume. Annotations would have illumined and made more useful this catalogue, but lack of time precluded any added labor. The volumes cited are such as contain either Scotch-Irish sur- names or material deemed useful to the historian. All histories of counties known to me have been registered, although some may contain but little on the subject. County atlases are noted, as they contain names of original landowners not to be found in print else- where. Histories of Presbyterian Churches and Presbyteries will be found most useful for the records that they contain of the early Scotch-Irish settlers, and I have aimed to make the list of them as complete as possible. The state library contains most of the volumes recorded, but not the least of its treasures are the county historical scrapbooks, from which I have copied the titles of clipped newspaper articles, cover- ing family reunions, local histories, and centennials of towns and churches. These embody data not accessible elsewhere, and are in shape for easy reference. This record being unavoidably incomplete, the cooperation of all interested is earnestly solicited to supply any omissions noticed. Copies of title-pages, with size and paging of all pamphlets, and volumes bearing on the Scotch-Irish in Pennsylvania, if sent to the writer, will be arranged for publication in the future.
