Manuscripts. Articles submitted to American Nineteenth Century History should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time. There is no standard length for articles but 10,000 words (including notes and references) is a useful target. The articles should begin with an abstract of around 100 words, which should describe the main arguments and conclusions of the article. Details of all authors' institutional affiliations and full address, including email, for correspondence should be included on a separate cover sheet. Any acknowledgements should be included on the cover sheet, as well as a note of the exact length of the article.

Electronic Submission.American Nineteenth Century History strives to offer an efficient reviewing process. To facilitate this, electronic submissions are preferred (with a hard copy to follow) in the first instance. Anonymity of all submissions is guaranteed during the reviewing process. Articles submitted for publication should be sent as an attachment to the editor. Any hard copy (paper) version should exactly match the material being sent electronically. Please print out the hard copy from the electronic version you are sending. Notes and References should be grouped at the end of the file. Attachments should be in PC compatible MS Word format. Any discs should be clearly labelled with the journal name, author's name and article title.

Tables and captions to illustrations. Tables must be typed out on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered together and also typed out on a separate sheet. Tables and Figures should be numbered consecutively by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript. Captions should include keys to any symbols used.

Figures. Please supply one set of artwork in a finished form, suitable for reproduction. Diagrams and maps should be prepared in black and white, and copied to a separate disk in uncompressed .TIF or .JPG formats in individual files. Tints should be avoided; use open patterns instead.
