The primary purpose of the newsletter of any association is to carry material important to the membership when published, but soon outdated. For various reasons, however, most newsletters carry some articles which are potentially of lasting interest to people other than historians of the association. Many such pieces in the MacDonald Society newsletter, which has carried the name of Orts since number 12, have been reviews of books in some way connected with MacDonald but not primarily devoted to him. These are listed separately below. Allusions to MacDonald's writings in works by other authors are also listed separately, but other pieces are too varied for classification. Not listed are direct reprints of pieces published elsewhere, reviews of books subsequently reviewed in North Wind, brief mentions of books and other non-ephemeral matter noted without critical comment; and references to other societies (largely literary) whose interests sometimes overlap those of the MacDonald Society. The increased number of entries in later issues primarily reflects an increase in the length of the newsletter, but in the four-year period from 1997 to 2000, when North Wind was not published regularly and carried no book reviews, Orts carried much material which would normally have appeared in the journal. Articles are listed on the left by issue. (2A is an unnumbered issue between issues 2 and 3.) On the right: L indicates pieces more than 1½ A5 pages in length; M pieces between ½ and 1½ pages in length; and S pieces less than ½ a page in length. Miscellaneous pieces 2A.
