DATA ON FLORIDA
GIVEN TO LIBRARY
Source Material Was COL
IeCted by Late Mrs.
Jeanette T. Conner.

A collection Of source material for O
history Of Spanish Florida, q large part
Of it as yet unpublished, has been added
to the already large collection Of refer
ences on the subject at the Library Of
Congress, it was announced today. It
Is the gift Of Washington e. Connor Of
New York, whose wife, the late Mrs.
Jeanette Thurber Conner, collected the
material.
The recent gift Of Edward s. Hark-
ness, 1t Is stated at the Library, supplies
original material dealing with SPANS
role in the early history Of Mexico and
Peru. The Conner material furnishes
parallel original material.
The collection just received, the Ii
brary announces, is singularly valuable
because Of the unusual competence of
Mrs. Conner In selecting pertinent docu-
mentS.
Maps Willed to Library.
Mrs. Conner, daughter of Mrs. jean
nette Thurber, to whose public spirit the
United States of the eighties owed the
Co., was led into an absorbing interest
in Florida history through the presence
on her husbands Florida estate of the
ruins Of an old mission, it is explained
at the Library.
For more than 10 years she labored
with sustained industry and recognized
scholarship on the history Of Spanish
Florida, for which almost inexhauStible
material Is preserved in Spain, espe-
cially in the archives of the Indie in
Seville, but which remained an almost
unknown field, excepting for the treat
ment In the late Woodbury. Lowery'S two
books on the Spanish settlements
within the limits Of the United States"
These, however, bring the narrative only
to 1874. On Mr.. LoWeryS death in 1906
his important collection of maps, de-
lineating the Spanish possessions within
the present limits Of the United States
from 1902 to 1920, came under his will
to the National Library. They provide
the geographical illustration of the ex-
tensive collection of documents accu-
mulated by Mrs. Conner.
Other than in the writings of Mr..
Lowery, brought to a sudden ending by
his death, Mrs. Conner found the exist
ing histories of Florida unsatisfactory.
Convinced of the necessity of continu-
ing the work in this pioneer field, she
was led to the examination Of tran
scripts in American collections of Span
iSh documents relating to Florida, and
beginning the plans for series Of VOL
umes, Colonial Records of Florida"
acquired from Seville great masses Of
transcripts and photostat copies of the
letters and reports of the Spanish gov
ernors and other officials of Florida from
1870 down through the whole period of
the seventeenth century and the begin
ming of the eighteenth. It is these and
related papers which constitute the bulk
Of the documents now presented to the
Library.
Mrs. Connor's interest in this field,
joined with that of John B. Stetson. IT.,
envoy of the United States to Poland
were the forces which organized the
Florida State Historical Society. dis
tinctly a publishing society, and with
the editorial energy Of DR.. James A.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-29

Robertson constituted the chief motive
power Of that society.
Mrs. Connor'S first publications were
two volumes commemorative Of the two
leading figures, Spanish and French,
respectively, of the first years of Florida
history-Menendez and Ribaut. Both
these books were published by the Flor
ida State Historical Society. The first
was Pedro MenendeZ de Aviles, The
Memorial by GonZalo Soils de Meras, 3"
written by the brother-in-law of the
Adelantado in or about 1867, first pub
lished in Spain in 1893 and in 1928
published in Spanish with Mrs. Connor'S
scholarly English translation. The other
volume O927 was a new edition, with

all the apparatus Of scholarship, of
Jean Ribaut: The Whole and True
DiScoverye of Terra Florida first pub
liShed in a volume Of which only two
copies are now known in 1863.
Meanwhile Mrs. Conner had made a
beginning Of her great design by pub
fishing the first volume of Colonial
Records of Spanish Florida: Letters and
Reports of Secular Persons" This first
volume runs from 1870 to 1877, and Is
as loss to American historical research
that Mrs. Conner did not live to pub
lish more volumes of this valuable Sc
ries, but there is expectation that the
Florida State Historical Society will be

Caldwell performed back in 1885

which has carried his fame to
the four corners Of the earth.
Over and over, DR.. Caldwell
wrote this prescription as he
found men, women, and children
suffering from those common
symptoms Of constipation, such
as coated tongue, bad breath,
headaches, gas, nausea, bilious
ness, poor appetite, or lack of
energy, etc. And it invariably
relieved these symptoms so
