Book Reviews95 A Preliminary Checklist of Tennessee Imprints, 1861-1866. By Eleanor Drake Mitchell. (Charlottesville, Virginia. 1953.) this publication of the Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia constitutes a valuable contribution to the literature and bibliography of the Civil War period in Tennessee. It combines the information previously available from published bibliographies, cards in the Library of Congress, and the results of research in Tennessee libraries and private collections. It should be emphasized, as the compiler points out in the preface, that it does not purport to be a complete and final work on the subject but is offered as a prehminary checklist which "may prepare die way for more extensive and exhaustive studies in this unexplored but crucial period in the history of thisstate and nation." It is marred by a few inaccuracies as to names; but, even so, it is the most complete work of its kind now available, and will be welcomed by librarians, bibliographers, bibliophiles, historians, and students of the Civil War.
