"Communications to the Universities and Academical Institutions of Foreign Countries. Export Catalog" from Germany
Scope and Contents note
Adams collected articles and pamphlets on many of his lecture and writing topics. He also made holographic copies of primary material for his work on New England towns. This series contains both secondary material and notes on primary material that he used in his work. The items are arranged alphabetically by topic.
In 1885, Thomas G. Cary, historian of early California history, sent holographic copies of his works Alta California after the Mexican-American War, The First Vigilance Committee, Chinese in California, and The Vigilance Committee of 1856 to Adams for the use of Josiah Royce, a former Hopkins fellow. Royce eventually published two works on California. Cary's manuscripts are contained in this series.
