	Book Review
		It is just one hundred years since the publication of the first volume of Hubert Howe Bancroft's Works-volume one of Native Races—and it has taken until now for the complete story of Bancroft's publishing venture to be told.
		Bancroft will continue to provoke argument concerning the ethics of the workshop approach to the writing of history, and the partisans of Henry L. Oak and Frances Fuller Victor, two of his more outspoken collaborators in the history, will continue to downgrade Bancroft's own contributions to the monumental achievement.
		By the time of his death in 1918 public memory of the personal and business conflicts had faded, and the pioneer was acclaimed in the press for the great library which he had established and which had become part of the University of California.

		However, it was actually born 42 years earlier when Bancroft, assisting the editor of a projected guide book to the Western states, discovered 75 volumes pertaining to California and the West on the shelves of his own San Francisco bookstore.
		But because so many of the leading figures in California's history were his contemporaries, Bancroft had the opportunity to accumulate original documents such as the papers of General Mariano Guadelupe Vallejo, and the estate of Sir James Douglas, once governor of British Columbia.
		Where he was unable to secure original documents, Bancroft had relevant portions transcribed, as in the case of the Archives of Spanish and Mexican California, then in the hands of the U.S. Surveyor General.

		Always the city is improved in the rebuilding; how much, depends upon the intelligence and enterprise of the people.
		Let us build and rebuild accordingly, bearing in mind that the new San Francisco is to stand forever before the world as the measure of the civic taste and intelligence of her people.
