A A Supplement
d Compiled by LORENE ANDERSON HAWLEY H
N and ALAN W. FARLEY
j AMONG the many activities of the governmerit—sponsored \Vorks :3
:3 Progress Administration in the 1980’s was the preparation of I
3- lists of early American books, pamphlets, and broadsides printed 5;
1 in the various states within certain time limits. The Historical
,3 Records Survey division established an American Imprints Inven-
’3 tory under the direction of Douglas C. i\'lc;\iurtrie, an authority
f on American printing, which undertook to locate and record items V-
‘Ki printed in the United States with date limits varying with the ,
0: period of settlement of the different states. These limits ranged
J from anything printed earlier than 1820 in the New England ’-
states up to 1800 in the Rocky Mountain region, with Kansas being .
assigned 1576 as a final date.
Under this project, printed materials, exclusive of newspapers
and serials, were examined in libraries all over the United States. .
I Information about them was recorded and sent to a central office ' ,
in Chicago to be sorted and turned over to the Historical Records
Survey director of the state in which the items had been printed.
' Ideally, printed matter would hear an imprint consisting, of place I l
of publication, publisher or printer, and date printed. Actually,
comparatively few of the items surveyed gave all this information.
Place and date often had to be determined from the text, and ’
1 great care was required to assign them to the right category. , '
In spite of the difficulties, inventories of printing in many states
. were published with location symbols of libraries holding the in-
dividual items. A Check List of Kansas Imprints, 1854-1876, was '
.. published in 1939 as No. 10 of the American Imprints Inventory,
, p by the \VPA Historical Records Survey Project, Topeka. This
. mimeographed list contained 1,574 main entries, in addition to a.
1 few entries for doubtful titles, and over 400 legislative bills. “it is. ,
’ inevitable that many other titles will turn up,” wrote McMurtrie
.} in the preface. His prophecy has proved correct. Since the 1939 i
3‘ list was published, librarians, collectors, and dealers have been dis-
:" covering other items printed in Kansas before 1877. While this
a, '{i‘ will no doubt be true no matter how many supplements are issued,
_ enough entries have now been collected to make a supplement
' .1} desirable.

Information has come from many sources. Nearly two dozen
new entries were obtained when the Historical Records Survey
sent to the Kansas State Historical Society all the Kansas entries
which had been received too late to be checked and included in
the 1939 edition. 5
Since 1939 the Society has acquired three sizable collections of I
early imprints. The Morrill Public Library, Hiawatha, gave several
, volumes of pamphlets and folders collected by D. W. Wilder. A
scrapbook of printing specimens of Crane & Co., Topeka, was ob-
tained from Eberstadt éz Sons. W. C. Simons, of Lawrence, lent 7
for microfilming a collection of job printing done by the Lawrence
Journal and other presses. Many of these items had not been
previously listed.
Alan Farley has listed here his own private collection and items
which he has learned about by consultation with other collectors.
The University of Kansas and the University of Kansas City have ‘
both been helpful in listing holdings for inclusion here. I
As in the Check List, newspapers and other serials have been I
omitted. In addition it has seemed desirable to omit certain classes ~
of imprints in the Society’s possession if they add no new printers
and are of limited interest. Among these are 180 briefs of cases I I
tried in the Kansas Supreme Court and 300 legislative bills not in- I
eluded among those previously listed. .
Also omitted except for a few examples are blank forms of vary- II.‘
ing nature which were printed on many presses. These include
~ legal forms (deeds, tax receipts, checks, mortgages, etc. ), certificates I I
of membership in clubs,1 certificates of election to office, shares in I g
town associations,2 letterheads, business cards, and commissions . I.
of officers in the Civil War. One of the most interesting of the
I latter is the commission of Lt. George Ellis, for whom Ellis county I
was named. Printed at Lawrence by the Kansas State Journal I I
I275} Steam Press, it was signed “Gov. C. Robinson, Nov. 8, 1862.” I
Despite these emissions, a wide variety of material is represented I
in the following new entries, ranging all the way from ornate I
I invitations to masquerade balls through advertisements of stock I?
powders, from pamphlets on how to raise silk worms to posters II
olfering rewards for the apprehensiOn of murderers and thieves. I
' The compilers have followed the style used in the Check List for II
those items which they were able to examine. Items credited to
3511:: other libraries and dealers are described in somewhat less detail as I
If; they appear in their catalogs. II
: 1. Alan Farley has a certificate for one share of stock issued by the Wyandotte City (III
Cricket Club, September 1, 1867, to Lawson Cook, Jr.
: 2. An example of these is a share issued by the Quindaro Company. See item 16.
