n our Papers, and reports, and other Mss. which we have published have shown the great value of many accessions to our material which we have had. We do not hesitate to declare that our collection is now one of the fullest, and most valuable in existence, and that in certain important directions our material is absolutely indispensable to any true history of the great War between the States. This is coming to be appreciated more and more every year by historians both in this country, and in Europe, and we are constantly giving most valuable help to seekers after the truth of history. Major Mangold, of the Prussian army, published in German last year a history of the second Mannassas campaign which an accomplished Confederate soldier pronounces one of the ablest, fairest, and most accurate books he has ever seen. A distinguished Federal soldier writing to the Secretary about this book says that Major Mangold had evidently had access to ample Confederate material, and desires to know

We only regret that (from various causes which we could neither foresee nor avert) our receipts fell off during 1880 and 1881, so that we could not meet our expectation of paying our old debt from surplus receipts. The liberality of the Army and Navy Society of the Confederate States, in Maryland, who voted us in January last a contribution from their treasury of $100--of individual friends who made us timely donations, and especially of our friends in New Orleans, who got up for us the grand meeting (of which we have published full accounts and made full acknowledgment)--has enabled us to pay $1,694.50 on account of the old debt, to reprint six or seven missing numbers of our Papers, (so that we now have a larger number of full sets than ever before), to meet current expenses, and

Annual report of the Executive Committee of the Southern Historical Society, for the year ending October 31st, 1882. [Adopted at a full meeting of the committee, held at the office of the Society, No. 7, State Capitol, Richmond, Va., Friday afternoon, November 3rd, 1882.] In presenting to the Society our Eighth Report, your committee have reason to offer cordial congratulations on what has been accomplished in the past, and on the hopeful outlook for the future of which we have to tell. A year ago the Society was so burdened with an old debt, which had lapped over from 1877, and which had become very pressing, that it seemed a very serious question whether we could continue our work without risking the loss of out archives. Now we have the pleasure of reporting that we have not only been able to continue the regular issue of our Papers, and make our current receipts meet expenses, but that the generous aid of interested friends, and the sale of back volumes, has enabled

We may add that we are conducting our business on the most economic basis, and that for the past three years we have employed no clerk. In conclusion We would express again our increasing sense of the importance of the work in which we are engaged — our abiding conviction that the present is the golden period for successful effort — and our earnest hope that we may have the warm sympathies, the active co-operation, the liberal help of all who desire to see the truth of history vindicated, the name and fame of our Confederate people defended, and the heroic deeds of the men who wore the gray handed down to our children, and perpetuated by the future historian.

The simple reply was: Major Mangold has beeMajor Mangold has been for several years in correspondence with our office and we have furnished him, as we are most happy to furnish any seeker after truth, all of the material which he needed. But we have reason to know that there yet remains in the hands of individuals all through the country, most valuable material, and we appeal to them (and we

We really do not know how better some one of large means could invest money for coming years and hand his name down to posterity as a public benefactor than by linking it with this effort to preserve the history of our people. We know of no better investment for even a small amount. We recommend that Judge George L. Christian be elected Treasurer and Manager of the Endowment fund of the Society. Finances.
