This is the second volume of a series of indexes to the Journal which began with Volume I (1831 -1850)
in 1946. In the Foreword to that volume the general plan of the whole series was stated, to which reference
is made.
In this volume, some of the most important non-Illinois items have been included in the index, as
well as the same exhaustive treatment of Illinois items as before. Whether the compiler's judgment of
what facts are "the most important" is the same as that of users of the index, time will show. To conserve
space for this addition, out-of-state newspapers have been omitted from the listing unless included
for reasons of importance, like other out-of-state items.
Due to the peculiarities of this index, it has seemed best not to subdivide long entries by subjects.
Most are given in one long chronological listing; those subdivided at all (like Lincoln and Douglas) are
subdivided by years.
With this typewriter, so much more can be put on a page than in the previous volume that comparatively
few abbreviations are used. It is believed that those which remain are (at least in the context)
self-explanatory; hence no table of abbreviations is appended. At the same time, there are some irregularities
in spacing and appearance due to the idiosyncrasies of this machine, which it nevertheless
seemed impracticable to try to correct otherwise than by manuscript markings.
Since the beginning of work on this volume, the Journal has filmed all its back issues. In making
this film (a copy of which is in the Illinois State Historical Library) the files of the Chicago Historical
Society were used to fill gaps in the Library's bound files, so that only the following issues are missing
both in film and original form from the present files of the Historical Library:
Dec. 17, 1851; Dec. 31, 1852; Jan. 27 and Apr. 15, 1853; Jan. 10, 1854; March 28, April 17, June 6
through 17, June 20 through July 9, 1855; Jan. 3 and March 30, 1857; Dec. 28 through 31, 1859.
The Journal was a daily during this whole decade, and all references are to the daily issues - though
the weekly continued to be published until the Civil War. There are, however, no items in the weekly
issues except reprints from the dailies.
In conclusion, let me repeat that any incorrect names, statements, or citations foundwill be gladly
corrected; and any fuller forms of names inserted, if the users of the Index will notify the compiler.
