The fact that such documentation appears in works published between 1912 and 1917 is unusual, and such diligence leads me to expect that his work is reliable. Since the author of pamphlet 75 is unknown, there is no way a priori to evaluate his reliability. One must, therefore, attempt to verify as much as possible, by reference to contemporary records or their published transcriptions and abstracts, in order to form an evaluation. Dale H.
