CO 7141795-1874Colonial Office: Indexed Précis of Incoming Correspondence
This series consists of analytical, chronologically ordered précis of incoming communications relating to various colonial possessions. Not all of the colonies are equally catered for: some have no précis of communications under certain categories, such as individual correspondents; some colonies have précis only, with no accompanying indexes. The series was compiled as a finding aid by the Colonial Office librarian, who then had custody of the original correspondence.
