Excerpt from Personnel of the Convention of 1861, and Legislation of the Convention of 1861 By the generosity of Mr, James Sprunt, of Wilmington, the University is enabled to begin a work, which, we are confident will be much appreciated by the enlightened people of the State. This is the periodical publication of monographs designed to elucidate the history of North Carolina. The University has in its possession much documentary material of a private and public nature, which has never been published. The North Carolina Historical Society has likewise a good supply, interesting and valuable, which has not seen the light of day. Efforts will be made to secure additions from the fortunate possessors of similar stores. It is confidently expected that the officers, students, alumni and friends of the University will be able to make contributions to our knowledge of the past, which students of our State history will be glad to read and to preserve. The University has not heretofore by any means totally neglected such pious labors. The editors of the ante-bellum University Magazine published much historical matter, which students of history all over the Union are eager to secure, now that the numbers have become extremely rare. The editors of its continuation since the re-opening in 1872 have likewise included in its pages many sketches of the lives of our prominent citizens, and many narratives of past events, which, if collected together, would surprise the reading public by their variety and interest. The James Sprunt series will be in a more compact and convenient shape, and will, it is hoped, be correspondingly prized.
