Report of the Committee of Publication.

Table of Contents

Hon. H. H. Sibley, President of the Minnesota Historical Society:

Your Committee of Publication, acting under instruction of the Executive Council, beg leave to lay before you the accompanying annual.

The limited means of the Society have compelled brevity; and most of the articles selected are of local, rather than of general interest.

The article on the Mineral Regions of Minnesota may be a matter of some general interest; but its chief interest will be with the people of our State.

The Life of Constantine Beltrami will be interesting to all readers; though his connection with Minnesota and the North-west will cause it to be read with peculiar interest by our own people.

The article on the Dakota Superstitions, coming from one most thoroughly acquainted with those children of the forest, must awaken the interest of all who care to enter into the study of the aboriginal character.

The brief sketch of the History of the United States Land Office contains facts well worth preserving.

The article on the Geography of Perrot, notwithstanding the world-wide reputation of Perrot, is rather of local, than of any general interest. Your committee would express their regret that the want of French type has compelled them to print the original in such style as to do great injustice to the author. They would fain have omitted the French, and printed only the translation, but for the earnest wish of Mr. Hill, that the fidelity of his translation might be apparent by comparison with the original.
