The Papers of Joseph Henry: Volume 12

CUMULATIVE INDEX

Compiled by: Kathleen W. Dorman
Assisted by: Sarah J. Shoenfeld

"…these two volumes each cull more than 300 documents from approximately 30 repositories from Russia to California. Their editors adhere admirably to the same standard of exceptional user-friendliness by providing lengthy introductions, a summary of the letters contents for each chapter, a logical transcription methodology, helpful expository footnotes, and a sophisticated name and subject index…With these concluding volumes, the reader is also encouraged to explore a more complex theme, to investigate that most exceptional of Washington animals: one who is steeped in, but not of, 'the establishment.'"—Washington History, vols. 19/22 (2007/2008)

“...An extremely handy and easy-to-use reference, Volume 12 is a must-have for libraries, universities, and private scholars who already possess volumes 1-11 of this seminal series.”—Library Bookwatch
