Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ohio Archaeological and Historical Publications, Vol. 5 The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society herewith presents to its members and patrons Volume V of its publications. We are justified in saying, that it is the most valuable contribution to the historical literature of Ohio yet published by the Society. It contains material never before made accessible to the public, and this material has been gathered and placed in logical and intelligible form by gentlemen thoroughly competent to do this work. Mr. D. J. Ryan, Secretary of the State of Ohio, for the years 1888-1892, has been a close student of the events pertaining to our state, has written "A History of Ohio" - (1888) - and has contributed to the press many articles upon our state's history. In the chapters entitled "From Charter to Constitution," Mr. Ryan has prepared what may be called an abstract of the title to the territory that now constitutes the State of Ohio. He has produced in their order, copies of the documents establishing the chain of possession and transfer from the original colonial grant (1606) of the English crown to the state Constitutional Convention of 1802 and the act of Congress of 1803 recognizing the State of Ohio. The disputes as to the territorial boundaries of the state were treated in the last volume (IV) of the Society, published January, 1896. The article by Mr. J. F. Laning, member of the State Senate from Huron County, appropriately supplements the one by Mr. Ryan. Mr Laning is the author of "Ohio Civics," "Law for Ohio Schools," "The Growth and History of Ohio," etc. His paper on the evolution of the counties or gradual division and re-division of the state into counties, was especially prepared for our Society. Mr. Laning was unable to continue the article to the present date in time for the issuing of this volume. The completion of the article will appear in a subsequent publication of the Society.
