      {1} In preparing the contributions to periodicals section the following reprints have been consulted: The Christian Baptist (Joplin, MO: College Press, 1983), a reprint of the edition revised by D. S. Burnet from the second edition (Cincinnati, OH: D. S. Burnet, 1835); Millennial Harbinger (Joplin, MO: College Press, 1976).
      {2} See signature on p. 598, "T. W. alias Thos. Campbell."
      {3} Gary L. Lee in his "Index of the Christian Baptist" (in the College Press reprint, 1983) attributes this unsigned extract of a letter to Thomas Campbell. I have not been able to determine Lee's source for this information; however, it is a reasonable attribution inasmuch as Thomas Campbell is named as one of the witnesses to the constitution.
      {4} See Alexander Campbell's "Contents" to the bound volume, p. ix.


ABOUT THE BIBLIOGRAPHY

      This preliminary bibliography of the works of Thomas Campbell has been compiled from the card catalog of the Disciples of Christ Historical Society; Claude E. Spenser's An Author Catalog of Disciples of Christ and Related Religious Groups (Canton, MO: Disciples of Christ Historical Society, 1946); The National Union Catalog of Pre-1956 Imprints; "Thomas Campbell, 1763-1854 . . . Books by and about Him," Discipliana 20 (January 1961): 81-81; David I. McWhirter's An Index to the Millennial Harbinger (Joplin, MO: College Press, 1981); Gary L. Lee's "Index to the Burnet Edition of the Christian Baptist" in The Christian Baptist (Joplin, MO: College Press, 1983); and William Herbert Hanna's Thomas Campbell: Seceder and Christian Union Advocate (Cincinnati, OH: Standard Publishing, 1935; reprinted, Joplin, MO: College Press, 1986). The online catalogs of Abilene Christian University and Pepperdine University libraries have been consulted to verify and clarify information. Only a few of the books have been examined by the compiler. Campbell's contributions to a few books are not specifically identified in the catalogs.

      The bibliography is arranged chronologically by date of publication and alphabetically by publisher within each of the six major headings.

      This compilation is termed "preliminary" because further research is required, for example, to locate additional editions and reprintings of the separate publications; to determine whether other essays, articles, and letters by Thomas Campbell were first published (or later reprinted) in other periodicals; and to define his contributions as pro tem editor of the Christian Baptist and Millennial Harbinger.

      Thanks to Elaine Philpott for providing copies of the cards for holdings of the Disciples of Christ Historical Society. Thanks to R. Jeanne Cobb, Archivist and Special Collections Coordinator, for providing information regarding the letters by Thomas Campbell held at T. W. Phillips Memorial Library, Bethany College.

      Addenda and corrigenda are earnestly solicited.
