(Wallace, Intro., p. 1) "This includes thirty-two documents, 1772-1827, printed from mss. in the Hudson's Bay House, London, and other sources, comprising the chief materials, both published and unpublished, on the 'constitutional history' of the Company." (TPL) The editor has appended a biographical dictionary of the Nor-westers, pp. 425-505, and a select bibliography, pp. 506-13. TPL1472. Peel 168.
