CKNOWLEDGMENTS
The end result of this volume is in large part due to the many individuals and institutions
whose assistance was critical in locating and compiling the data found herein. Of special
significance was Mr. Philip Lampi of Gilbertville, Massachusetts, whose collection of early
American electionreturns (pre–¡825) is incomparable. He generously gave mecomplete access
to his collection. Without his assistance this volume would be far less comprehensive. The
interlibrary loan departments of the Glendale and Phoenix, Arizona, publiclibraries were par-
ticularly helpful in obtaining many microfilms and text materials that facilitated my research
e›orts.
