BIBLIOGRAPHIES RELATING TO THE MILITARY ACADEMY AND TO

WEST POINT.*The following- bibliographies relating to the United States Military Academy and to the post of West Point have been constructed First: By giving references to books and periodicals in the Librarx' of the Academy. The letter "A" following a title indicates that the book is owned by the Library of the I'nited States Military Academy. Second: By copying titles from Poore's Catalogue of GovernmentPublications, 1774-18S1, andits \-arious

continuations to 1902.

from the Schuylkill Arsenal to the Library of the

Pocumtoc Valley Memorial As.sociation, of Deerfield, Mass., which were most kindly loaned to us in 1903, through the kindness of the president aud secretarj' of the association, and which have been searched by me. The manuscript records of the academic board, adjutant, quartermaster, aud treasurer. United States Military Academj-, have not been searched for lack of time. They should be gone o\-er page by page, and would no doubt }-ield rich returns. Under existing conditions it has been simply impossible even to begin this work except in one point. The general orders, headquarters United vStates Military Academy, from Februar}^ 19, 1838 (the date of the disastrous fire which de.stroyed the records of the Academy), to 1857 were, however, examined by Lieut. A. F. Casad, Artillery Corps, during November 1902. He has extracted many items of general interest which appear in the Militar}^ Academy
