The purpose of this work is to record the full title of every
publication, article, or paper, however ephemeral, or wher-
ever printed, that may in any way aid to elucidate the history
of events within the limits of that section, known in the
early annals of Connecticut and Pennsylvania as the " Town
and County of Westmoreland ;" more especially to guide
the student to a correct knowledge of that controversy of
which one event was the far-famed Massacre of Wyoming —
an historical fact which, small as it may have been in extent,
has been so far-reaching in its results, that it is as familiar
to the readers of American History as any occurence between
the incipient action at Lexington, Mass., and the terminant
surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Va. ; and without
which a history of the American Revolution would be
naturally incomplete.
The literature of every section comprises two very ephe-
meral kinds of publications which are often of the utmost
value to historical students, viz.: Newspapers and Maps.
Everything of this character, bearing on the history of the
circumscribed section, is herein recorded as far as known.
Bibliographical and critical notes are added wherever the
subject is susceptible of annotation. Also the prices which
many of the publications have brought at the auction sales
of large American libraries, are added.

Sweet Wyoming ! The day when thou wert doomed

This romance, founded on the Massacre of Wyoming, takes wondrous
liberties with history. It makes John Butler a cousin and protege
of Col. Zebulon Butler; Brandt present at the " Massacre," where
he not only takes 1000 scalps, but slays his own father, and is him-
self killed by the patriots ; and terminates John Butler's career by
a stroke from the sword of one of the heroes, which " in its back-
ward sweep nearly dissevered Butler's head from his body," with
more of the same sort.

[Brower, Anthony P.] The Wyoming Monument. A
Poem by the Lu-nat-ic Bard of Wyoming. Respectfully
inscribed to the Ladies' Monumental Association.
A good book's an unobtrusive friend,
Which, when consulted, doth sound wisdom speak,
To mend your fortune, — heart and conscience mend,
Truth teUing DIE doth useful treasure eke,
Evil companions bad books ofttime prove,
Soihng the mind we should keep pure and white ;
To wicked actions they beguile the love,
Masking the wrong with a false veil of right.
"Ah! who can tell how hard it is to climb
The steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar ?
Ah ! who can tell how many a soul sublime,
Hath felt the influence of malignant star.
And waged with fortune an eternal war ?"
