D. 1928; Containing Parts One and Two For the earlier part of our history we found great help in the various volumes of the se-called Jesuit Relations, and of the Virginia and-british Series of the Illinois Historical Collections. The annual publications of the Leopoldine Association of the Austrian Empire, and the Annales (10 la propagation de la Pot of Lyons, have also been put under contribution, and have yielded generous spoils, whilst pri vate individuals and religious communities were equally generous, if not equally rich in their offerings. From many sources, therefore, came together the almost innumerable data that were to form the body of this History of the Diocese of St. Louis. For a history of the Diocese of St. Louis in its fullest extent, was in contemplation from the start. The five volumes of the St. Louis Catholic Historical Review, the numerous articles published by members of the Committee on Publication in the Catholic Historical Review, of Washington D. C., the Illinois Catholic Historical Review, of Chicago and in the Watchman and Church Progress of St. Louis, as well as in the German pastoral-blatt, and the central-blatt and Social Justice, also of St. Louis, were but preparatory steps towards the much-desired achievement.
