Kinney* tions of the Episcopal Church is intended to be comprehensive THIS through tions through bibliography 1972. However, of 1972. as the any Episcopal bibliographer However, knows, of this histories is prac- Church as any of bibliographer is dioceses intended and to knows, missionary be comprehensive this jurisdic- is prac- tically an impossible task; undoubtedly there are omissions, but after a five year on-again-off-again search it is time to draw a line. The bibliog- raphy includes full-length books, journal articles, theses, and unpublished papers. Ordinarily it includes only those writings intended as comprehen- sive retrospective histories, regardless of length or quality, rather than studies of various special aspects of a diocese's history or works which treat a diocese's history only incidentally. In a few instances, where a dio- cese's early days centered for many years in a single mission (e.g., Anvik, Alaska) , histories of that mission have been included as they are especially relevant to the development of the diocese. Where a work is a borderline case the sin of commission, rather than of omission, has usually been committed. General histories of the Episcopal Church, biographies of bishops, and parish histories have been excluded. The majority of the entries have been examined personally by the compiler. Each book entry contains the name of the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and number of pages. (The latter information is often only approximate and is included only to give an indication of the amount of material one may expect to find - un- numbered pages such as introductory sections, indices, and appendices were not counted.) Also included is at least one library location, when known, for each entry. Each journal article entry includes the name of the author, article title, journal title, volume number, month, year, and inclusive page numbers. The HISTORICAL MAGAZINE OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH has been shortened to "HIS- TORICAL MAGAZINE." Additional sources for diocesan histories, which were not ordinarily included in this bibliography, are state historical journals, biographies of bishops, parish histories, and journals of the annual diocesan Councils ♦Mr. Kinney is Director of the Archives Division of the Texas State Library, Austin. - Editor's Note.

No study of a diocese can be complete without reference to the numerous news items, letters, and other material found in the SPIRIT OF MISSIONS, the official publication of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Episcopal Church which began publication in 1836. The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by author or, if no au- thor, by title in three sections: (1) Domestic Dioceses (by state); (2) Foreign Missionary Dioceses (by country); (3) Miscellaneous (for his- tories covering areas larger than one state, such as provinces and the Confederate Sates). The arrangement by state is simpler than attempting to list by name of the diocese since over the years boundries have changed, names have changed, dioceses have been carved out of other jurisdictions, and dioceses have merged. In the few instances where a diocese crosses state lines cross-references have been provided. Austin, Texas John M.
