Excerpt from History of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 1851: A Study It is pleasant to work in libraries, and in acknowledging a debt of gratitude that I owe to many friends, I would mention, first, the librarians who have made this work of research pos sible, Professor Herbert I. Priestley and Mr. Joseph J. Hill, of the Bancroft Library, Miss Eudora Garoutte, of the California State Library, and Dr. George Watson Cole, of the Henry E. Huntington Library, at San Gabriel, California. I would record, with sincere appreciation, the kindness of President David P. Barrows, of the University of California, and that of Professors William Carey Jones, Walter M. Hart, Thomas H. Reed, Harold L. Bruce, and Charles E. Chapman busy men who have taken the time to read this volume in advance of publication, and have given me the benefit of their criticisms. Professor Edward Channing, of Harvard University, was also kind enough to read the manuscript in an early form, and to offer me advice that proved exceedingly valuable. Dr. Owen C. Coy, secretary of the California Historical Survey Commission, has directed me to important state records, and Mr. R. S. Kuykendall has placed at my disposal his notes on the history of California newspapers. Mr. Robert E. Cowan, an authority on Californiana, has examined the proof of the bibliography, and suggested some interesting additions to the entries relating to the Committees of Vigilance.
