Excerpt from Annual Report of the Minnesota Historical Society, to the Legislature of Minnesota: For the Year 1872-78, Read and Adopted at the Annual Meeting of the Society, January 13, 1873 In exchange for these gifts, we have not always been able to make an adequate return, but our own publications, and such State documents as we are by law entitled to, have been used as fully as possible for that purpose. During the past two years we have not been able to continue the issue of our publications, the third vol ume of which is still incomplete. Last summer, however, Mr. J. F. Williams, a resident of Saint Paul, who had spent his leisure time for several years in collecting and writing up a history of the' city and county, cfi'ered it to the Society, on condition that it Should be published in good style, the Society to have the copyright and all profits which might result therefrom. AS the Society did not have the means requisite to issue the work, some of its members advanced the same, with the understanding that they should be repaid out of the proceeds of the sale of the work. The book has been printed, and will be ready for publication about the last week in January. There is no doubt but that the proceeds of its sale will repay the cost of the printing, and leave some funds in the Treasury of the Society, besides furnishing a sufficient number of copies to use for the exchanges before noted.
