The fifth volume in the series of Wormsloe Foundation Publi cations was the long-missing first part of Egmont's three manu script volumes of his journal. It was edited by Robert G. McPher son of the University of Georgia. This volume contains the jour nal from 1732 to 1738, inclusive, and is owned by the Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, who gave permission for its publication. In 1963, the Foundation published its sixth volume, The Jour nal of Peter Gordon, 1732-1735, which was edited by the General Editor of the series. Gordon came over with Oglethorpe on the first voyage, and he began his journal when he left England. The original manuscript was acquired by the Wormsloe Foundation in 1957, and was presented to the University of Georgia Library. The seventh volume in the series was Joseph Vallence Bevan, Georgia's First Official Historian. It is a departure from the pre vious five volumes, which were documentary, and was written by the General Editor. It brings to light a historiographer who was appointed Georgia's first official historian by the state legislature.The present volume, Henry Newman's Salzburger Letterbooks, begins a series which might be called a series within the Wormsloe Foundation series, for it is to be followed by several volumes of translations of Urlsperger Reports (Ausfuhrliche Nachrichten .... edited by Samuel Urlsperger, Halle, l 735ff, and dealing with the Georgia Salzburgers). This volume is transcribed and edited by George Fenwick Jones of the University of Maryland, who, also, will edit future volumes of the Salzburger translations.
