¹ The two works of McMurtrie which have been most heavily drawn upon in the present bibliography are Early Printing in New Orleans, 1764–1810, and Louisiana Imprints, 1768–1810. Complete bibliographical data are given for these works under Bibliographical Abbreviations. The summary of Spanish printing in the colonial period is also drawn from these two works.

² The Spanish newspapers of New Orleans figure incidentally in a few early bibliographies of American newspapers but were not given special attention until the appearance of Kendall’s, John S. article “The Foreign Language Press of New Orleans,” Louisiana Historical Quarterly, XII (1929), 363–380.Google Scholar Kendall lists the titles of six Spanish newspapers, including two Spanish supplements of French and English newspapers.

Professor Spell, Jefferson R., in an informative article entitled “A New Orleans Edition of La Risa,” (Hispania, XXIII [1940], 81–84)Google Scholar, contributed the titles of seven additional journals not mentioned by Kendall.

Finally, the most comprehensive study of the Spanish journalistic press of Louisiana is to be found in the writer’s monograph A History and Bibliography of Spanish-Language Newspapers and Magazines in Louisiana, 1808–1949 (University of New Mexico Publications in Language and Literature, No. 8. Albuquerque: The University of New Mexico Press, 1951). Forty-seven titles are included therein.
