[COLLECTION OF PAMPHLET PUBLICATIONS OF THE MANITOBA HISTORICAL AND SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY, RELATING TO THE RED RIVER SETTLEMENT, 1882 - 1930]. An excellent collection of Canadian pamphlets relating to the Red River settlement in present-day Manitoba, all published by the Manitoba Historical and Scientific Society. Some issues likely belonged to a colleague, or perhaps a relative of Charles Napier Bell, as the ownership signature of Robert Bell appears on two pamphlets, and Charles Napier Bell has inscribed two of his own publications. Bell was an passionate and multi-talented figure, and along with George Bryce was a founding member of the Society, serving as its president from 1889-1891 and again from 1913-1929. The imprints included here are as follows:1) McArthur, Alexander: THE CAUSES OF THE RISING IN THE RED RIVER SETTLEMENT, 1869-70. Publication No. 1. [Winnipeg. 1882].2) Bryce, George: NOTES AND COMMENTS ON HARMON'S JOURNAL, 1800-1820. Transaction No. 3. Winnipeg. 1883.3) Burman, W.A.: THE SIOUX LANGUAGE. Publication No. 5. Winnipeg.
