Notes of General Interest With this number of the Monthly catalogue we revert to the orig- inal form, that of entering the publications by their Governmental p^jiuthors, anil supplementing this classed arrangement by an index, . (\ which will be made cumulative as formerly. The return to the old and preferred form has become necessary on account of the law of March 1, 1907, which authorizes the ship- ment of the unbound Congressional documents and reports to the designated depository libraries. Some list of these Congressional publications must necessarily be furnished, and the form of entry ;^ herein adopted provides the most satisfactory basis for listing these ^ publications. The imperative demand for a working list of these pamphlet issues has operated in lieu of specific legislation, and by a more liberal interpretation of the present provisions the issue in this form is again made possible. Besides this, the Monthly catalogue will be made complete, and will include entries for all Government publications published during the month, except those of a confidential or strictly oflicial nature, and an additional symbol (t) will be used to designate those pub- lications which are not available, instead of omitting mention of them as has been the practice for the past year. It will be neces- sary for those using the catalogue to familiarize themselves with these signs in order to obtain the best results. An additional improvement, suggested by numerous librarians, is the inclusion of the note " Not sent to designated depository libra- ries." This will provide a means by which the librarians of these institutions may know definitely which publicationsarenot tobe sent them free under the general provisions of law. It may be stated, however, that the publications in this class are not numerous, em- bracing only such as the publishing offices decide are not " made for distribution." When not confidential, these publications may be obtained by purchase from this Office, at the price stated in the Monthly catalogue. The volume of work at present going through the Government Printing Office is very large. This issue of the Monthly cata- logue shows that Departmental publications for the mouth of July have been unusually numerous, and their variety and Interest are equally noticeable. The Forest Service gives to a large and interested public a 5th edition and 3d revision of " The Use book," which contains in its 341 3 i ^5075 4 July, 1908 pages all the regulations and instructions for tbe use of the national forests. The title of this numerously-printed manual emphasizes the Government's forest policy, which, in the briefest terms, is: Preservation by rational use. The creation of national forests does not mean, though many have thought it did, that the forests have become dead property, no longer contributing to the nation's wealth. It means, on the contrary, that the woodlands ai-e being farmed, as other lands are, and. while preserved from waste and destruction, are being put in a way to contribute more than ever before to the national wealth. Horticulturists and pomologists will derive substantial benefit from Plant Industry Bureau Bulletin 126, a volume of 268 pages, all filled with the Nomenclature of the pear. It is a catalogue-index of the known varieties which have been mentioned in American publica- tions during the 103 years, 1S04-1907. The dates show of them- selves that it is a work of great research, and it is qvyte as evident that only an expert, exceedingly familiar with the literature of his subject, could make such an extensive compilation on the nomen- clature of a single fruit. In this case the expert is Mr. W. H. Ragan. In Chemistry Bureau Circular 37, of which a reprint was issued July 6, Doctor Wiley gives the general results of his investigations upon the effects of sulphurous acid and sulphites upon digestion and health. He thinks the results of the inquiries as to the sul- phurous preservatives are even more important than those relating to the boron compounds and salicylic acid and its salts. He is distinctly of the opinion that the administration of sulphurous acid in food produces serious injury to digestion and health. He also issues Part 4 of his Bulletin 84, in which he considers the influence of benzoic acid and benzoates and condemns their use as preserva- tives of food. In Bulletin 344 the Geological Survey gives the results of exten- sive tests of concrete beams. As we have fairly entered upon the cement age, builders and contractors can not have too much sound information concerning the various forms in which concrete is used. In an interesting circular, the Civil Service Commission gives full explanations concerning " veteran preference." Just what prefer- ence is given to former soldiers and sailors, the law upon which it is based, and the regulations under which the law is administered in examinations for the civil service and appointments thereto, are matters of more than passing moment, for the precedents now es- tablished may be followed for genex-ations. A Memorandum on hours of service law, by Luther M. Walter, attorney for the Interstate Commerce Commission, in which the ob- jections that have been raised to the validity' of the law are con- sidered, is of importance to railroads and other common carriers. Two very important treaties with Great Britain were proclaimed July 1, 1908. They relate to subjects which have been causes of dispute ever since the American eagle ceased to be a British subject and became an American citizen. They are the Canadian boundarv July, 1008 5 and the fisheries — this time, however, not the Newfoundland fish- eries, but those of lalves, rivers, and certain specified limited parts of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. While the treaties are important, they are not final. They provide for the appointment of a series of commissions, through whose efforts it is hoped final settlement may come. In a 3-page fascicule the Smithsonian Institution gives an idea of the character and purpose of the International catalogue of scientific literature, its methods of publication, and its cost. Seven- teen volumes a year are issued. The United States is a party to the international arrangement on the subject and the Smithsonian is the " Regional Bureau " through which its share of the work is done. Instructions for the guidance of postmasters and carriers in the conduct of the rural delivery service, promulgated by authority of the Postmaster-General, is the title of a pamphlet which i-elates to one of the biggest things in the country and one of the most rapidly growing. Although the rural mail delivery is hardly ten years old, it already costs nearly 40 millions a year, and serves approximately 25 million people. The Interstate Commerce Commission, under its increased legal powers, is active in gathering information concerning the great transportation interests and giving it to the public. Publications for the month include Bulletin 2, entitled Conference rulings ; Acci- dent bulletin 27, giving the record of accidents for the first quarter of the current year ; the first issue of Classification of operating revenues as prescribed by the Commission and two other new classifications ; also three supplements to similar issues ; Regulations for the transportation of explosives; Digest of proceedings in 59th Congress, 1st session, relating to regulation of railroad rates, and several others. Index-catalogue of medical and veterinary zoology is the title of Bulletin 37, Hygienic Laboratory. It is the beginning of a subject list, of which the author list is Bulletin 39, Animal Industry Bureau, in many parts. The card catalogues from which these printed index-catalogues are drawn are arranged in three sections : Authors, Subjects, and Hosts. Any library worker knows what author cata- logues and subject catalogues are, but how many of them ever made a host catalogue? The Copyright Office issues a new print of its Bulletin 1, showing the copyright law as in force July 15, 1908. There have been no copyright enactments since 1905, but there have been several treaties extending reciprocal copyright arrangements to other countries. The July Monthly consular and trade reports contains the usual world-wide budget of commercial information, far too varied and voluminous to be summarized here. All who are interested in colonial administration should read the Seventh annnal report of the Philippine Bureau of ('ivil Service, now separately published in this country. 6 July, 1908 The new parcels post convention between this country and Italy is now published. A new edition of the Circular relating to the enlistment of men for the Navy gives black-type emphasis to the fact that Congress has increased the pay of enlisted men and petty officers 10 per cent. Geological Survey Bulletin 345, Mineral resources of Alaska, is being republished in sections for economy and convenience. Section C relates to Copper River region and Prince William Sound; D to Yukon Basin ; E to Seward Peninsula, and so on. Parts 2 and 3 of Report of the commissioner of corporations on cotton exchanges are issued together in a thick pamphlet. Part 2 is entitled Classification of cotton and part 3 is Range of grades deliverable on contract. Bulletin 64, Statistics Bureau, Agriculture Department, has the title Number and farm value of farm animals in the United States, 1867-1907. This is one of the series of 40-year statistical reviews of farm products and values which the Statistics Bureau for some time has been publishing. The total value of farm stock in 1867 was less than 1,000 millions. In 1907 it was more than 4,000 mil- lions. The detailed tables are presented by States and also by years. Animal Industry Bureau issues parts 20 and 21 of its Bulletin 39, which is the extensive Index-catalogue of medical and veterinary zoology. It is an alphabetical author list of the literature of this subject, and the present issues carry it to Ozzard, A. T., or not much more than half way through the alphabet. The Crop reporter for July reports crop conditions as of July 1. The outlook is generally favorable. That it may receive statistical returns from the custom-houses in convenient form for use in its publications, the Commerce and Labor Department issues schedules of classification for the use of the cus- toms officers. New editions issued in July are Schedule A and Schedule B, classification of commodities; Schedule C, classification of foreign countries and dependencies ; Schedule E, classification of merchandise. A time and work saver is a 31S-page book of Geographic tables and formulas from the Geological Survey. Occasional papers 29 of the Engineer School, U. S. A., is on Riparian rights [in the] navigable waters in the United States. The Isthmian Canal Commission issues a Manual of information concerning employments for service on the Isthmus of Panama. Treaties for arbitration with Mexico and Norway, for extradition with Uruguay, and for conveyance of prisoners, wrecking, and salvage with Great Britain, have been proclaimed and published. These are but a few samples from the voluminous and varied list of Government publications for the month of July, every one of which has had its own large or small public waiting for it. A NEW PERIODICAL The Navy Department has begun a new monthly periodical, called Navy and Marine Corps list and directory, published by the Naviga- V July, 1908 7 tion Bureau. The first number bears date July 1, 1908, and shows the station at that date of every officer of Navy and Marines. Each ensuing monthly number will give the same information corrected up to the date of publication. Previously the Deimrtment has Issued the Navy register Jan. 1st and the List and station July 1st, giving the corrected information twice a year. In these days of the Navy's activity, a twice-a-year directory was found to be inade- quate. Hence the change to a monthly publication, equivalent to the Army directory, which has been published monthly since 1891. The Superintendent of Documents has a large list of yearly sub- scribers for the Army directory, and no doubt soon will have for the Navy and Marine Corps list and directory. Its price has been fixed at 10 cents for a single copy and $1 for a yearly subscription, mailed free of postage. The annual Navy register will be continued as heretofore. POSTAL GUIDES That indispensable manual, the United States Ofiicial postal guide, has undergone a change. The July number will hereafter be the annual issue instead of the January number as heretofore. The issue for each month except July will be a small pamphlet of additions and corrections similar to those heretofore issued. The issue for the present month begins the Third series as vol. 1, no. 1. The First series began in 1874 and consists of 20 quarterly numbers. The Second series began in 1879 in the form which has grown so familiar by nearly 30 years of useful service. The new form has a broader page than the old, and a closer type, enabling the lists to be handled more conveniently. Of these broad pages it fills more than 700, all very closely packed. It is a businesslike publica- tion, full of information but making no brags. In this it difl'ers somewhat from the Table of post ofiices in the United States, issued 1822 (the earliest postal guide in the Public Documents Library), which looks diminutive in comparison, but boasts quite freely of its mails, transported in stages 10,121 miles, and in sulkies and on horseback 10,616 miles more, making 20,737 miles a day. This was doing very well, but at present the rural free delivery alone discounts it many times over, while the rail- road, steamboat, and trolley services add about 525,000,000 miles a year to the total. In 1822, as Postmaster-General Return Jonathan Meigs, jr., exultingly tells us, the mail was transported from Anson, Me., to Nashville, Tenn., 1,448 miles (spelled out in italics), by direct lines of stages. Also from St. Marys, Ga., to Highgate, Vt, 1,369 miles. He fails to tell us the time it took to make these long trips. Though the date of publication of his book is 1822, he adds : " These remarks apply to March, 1817." The postal statistics of that day exceed ours in but one point : The rates of postage. In 1822 envelopes had not been invented and it cost to mail a " single letter, composed of one piece of paper," any distance not exceeding 30 miles, 6 cents ; 80 miles, 10 cents ; 150 miles, 12i cents; 400 miles, 18^ cents; over 400 miles, 25 cents. For two pieces of paper, double rate ; for three pieces, triple rate ; for four pieces, quadruple rate. 8 July, 1908 PUBLICATION OF DIPLOMATIC COEBESPONDENCE March 27, 1S18, Congress ordered the publication, under direction of the President, of sundi-y historical documents, among them " the foreign correspondence of the Congress of the United States, from the first meeting thereof down to the date of the ratification of the definitive treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States in the year 1783," except such parts as the President might choose to withhold. The work of editing was intrusted to Jared Sparks, and he brought out, from the press of N. Hale, Boston. 1829-30, *' The Diplomatic correspondence of the American Revolution," in twelve volumes. The edition ordered by Congress was 1,000 sets. John C. Rives printed in Washington, 1857, an edition in six volumes, of which 500 sets were taken by the State Department. May 5, 1832, Congress appropriated S12,000 " to enable the Secretary of State to cause to be printed, under his direction, a selection from the diplo- matic correspondence of the United States, between the peace of 1783 and the 4th of Mar. 1789, remaining unpublished in the De- partment of State." Under this authority appeared, Washington, printed by Francis Preston Blair, 1833-34, in seven volumes, " The Diplomatic correspondence of the United States of America, from the signing of the definitive treaty of peace, 10th Sept. 1783, to the adoption of the Constitution, Mar. 4, 1789." This title can not be accepted as accurate, for though the Government created under the Constitution went into operation Mar. 4, 1789 (or would have done so if a Congressional quorum had assembled promptly), that is not the date of the adoption of the Constitution. A second edition of the Diplomatic correspondence, 178.3-1789, was published in Wash- ington, 1837, by Blair & Rives, and this was reprinted, 1855, in three volumes, by John C. Rives. Neither of these collections is found in the numbered series of Congressional documents. A new collection, edited by Francis Wharton, covering the same period that had been covered by Sparks, and entitled " The Revolutionary diplomatic cor- respondence of the United States," was issued by the Government Printing Office, 1889, in six volumes. Wharton restores the integ- rity of the text, with which Sparks had taken undue liberties, and adds much new matter. Wharton's collection is a numbered Con- gressional document of the 50th Congress, 1st session. Of this col- lection 7,000 sets were printed besides the " usual number" (1,900). Prior to 1861 there was no annual publication of the general diplomatic correspondence which is carried on by and through the State Department. It was the custom of Congress from time to time to call for the correspondence on those subjects as to which it desired information. The material supplied in response to such calls was published in the Congressional document numbered series at irregular intervals. Among the documents accompanying the President's annual messages prior to 1801 are occasionally found diplomatic di.'- patches relating to special subjects which he desired to bring to the attention of Congress. In 1881 Secretary Seward submitted a volume of 439 pages made up of the general diplomatic July, 1908 9 correspondence of the year and entitled " Papers relating to foreign affairs." A similar volume has been sent to Congress each year since, with the single exception of 1SG9, when Secretary Fish sent only 16 pages of correspondence, all relating to a concession by the French Government for a submarine cable. In 1870 the title was changed to " Papers relating to the foreign relations of the United States," which has since been retained. The Secretary of State is the only Cabinet officer who does not make an annual report. There is one exception to this rule, Secre- tary Gluey having made in 1896 the only annual report of the State Department. Hon. John W. Foster, a former Secretary of State, gives warning, in his "A Century of American diplomacy," that investigators may not depend on published documents for a full knowledge of the country's foreign relations, as the State Department exercises a large discretion in withholding dispatches from publication. The annual volumes of Foreign relations, 1861 to date, are all numbered Congressional documents. BANCEOIT VEBSUS BUSSELL George Bancroft, the American historian, by invitation of Con- gress delivered a memorial eulogj' on Abraham Lincoln in the Capi- tol, Feb. 12, 1SG6. In the course of his address, referring to the breaking out of the war between the States, he said this: "The British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs made haste to send word through the palaces of Europe that the great Republic was in its agony; that the Republic was no more; that a headstone was all that remained due by the law of nations to ' the late Union ' ". Earl Russell, better known to fame as Lord John Russell, was the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at the time, and, resenting Mr. Bancroft's statement, he wrote to Charles Francis Adams, American Minister to Great Britain, a letter (Feb. 28, 18G6) in which he said : "As words pronounced on such an occasion and by so eminent a man as Mr. Bancroft may have an effect far beyond the injury which my personal character might suffer, I must request you to convey to Mr. Bancroft my denial of the truth of his allegations." This letter was duly conveyed to Mr. Bancroft, and with an effect which could hardly have been anticipated by the British statesman. So far from withdrawing or repudiating his " allegations ", Mr. Bancroft proceeded to prove them, and did so with a vigor and con- clusiveness of course entirely courteous but none the less convincing. The interesting correspondence, with some supplementary matter, is published in full as House mis. doc. 110, 39th Cong. 1st sess. ; serial 1271. Mr. Bancroft was born in 1800 and lived till 1891. He was Min- ister to England and to Germany, Secretary of the Navy, and foun- der of the Naval Academy. His history of the United States, In 12 52694—08 2 10 July, 1908 volumes, covers the period from the discovery of the country to the Inauguration of Washington as the first President. During his last years, which were spent in Washington, he became noted as a grower of roses.

[June] 1908. n. t. p. 4 p. 16° t Topographic sheets Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the United States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected with- out reference to political divisions, and are designated by some prom- inent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1 : 62,500, 1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250.000. These correspond, approxi- mately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size, unless otherwise given, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the margin, the width varying with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. About one-third of the area of the country, excluding outlying pos- sessions, has been mapped, nearly every State being represented. Mas- sachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New .Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Survey at 5c. each ; but in lots of 100 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 3c. each. In no case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solely for topographic maps amounts to at least $-3.00. Arizona.

Miscellaneous collections ; ^, annual reports; 4, special pulilications. No -set.s of these are rur sale or dis- tribution, as most of the volumes are out of print. The volumes of Contributions and of Misc-ollaneous collections are distributed only to public libraries and to learned institutions and societies in this country and abroad. A small edition of the papers in these two series Is printed separately for sale or exchange. The Smithsoni-\n reports are regularly distributed by the Institution to libraries throughout the world, and only a limited number of the volumes remains to supijly demands from other sources. No general mailing-list of individuals is main- tained. The reports can be had by puri'hnse from the Superintendent of Documents, Washingtou. 1). C. The papers printed in the annual reports are published separately for free distribution. Publications should be ordered by the serial number. Remittances should be made payable to ' Smithsonian Institution.' An application from a library should state the number of volumes in the library and the date of establishment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress." The annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are regularly issued as public documents. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution.

Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for informa- tion, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications cata- logued. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports, are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House docu- ments and reports, 60th Congress, 1st session, is to be understood. 54 Notes of General Interest The new edition of tlie Checlilist of United States public docu- ments is malving gratifying progress. Twenty-two new slieets were printed and issued during August. Treasury decisions, vol. 15, Army regulations, 190S, and Customs regulations, 1908, are among the more important documents issued during the month. Dr. Wright's papers in the numbers of the Naval medical bulletin for April and July on the mercurial treatment of tuberculosis have aroused so wide an interest that it has been determined to print a special edition of them for the International Tuberculosis Congress which is to sit in Washington from Sept. 21 to Oct. 12 of the present year. This reprint will also be sold by the Superintendent of Doc- uments. A new edition of Diplomatic and consular service, corrected to July 27, 1908, has been published. Mr. Ford's Bibliographical notes on the issues of the Continental Congress in 1779, in quarto form, is the most recent publication of the Library of Congress. The Bureau of Equipment, Navy Department, wants a blue printer and has asked that an eligible list for employees of that gloomy color be established. The schedules of the 1st Census of the United States, that of 1790, are now receiving their first printing. Those containing the names of the heads of families in South Carolina are given in the latest volume, which also reproduces a map of the date of 1796 and has an interesting introduction containing facts about census taking in the first years of the Republic. Plant Industry Bureau Bulletin 129 throws light on that mysteri- ous ailment of horses and cattle in the West, the loco-weed disease. Of the many classifications of railroad accounting made by the Interstate Commerce Commission, the latest is the first issue of Classification of revenues and expenses for outside operations. The " International list " of money-order postoffices in foreign countries has just been issued by the Post-Office Department, with models of money orders, rates, instructions, etc. The 1907 issue of the Yearbook of the Agriculture Department, the book which is printed in a larger edition than any other in this or any country, is just off the press. Though dated 1907, it is really the issue for 1908, the edition being so large that it is always of necessity printed in the recess between the two sessions of Con- gress, a fact which makes it appear to be late. As a matter of fact, however, its statistics are brought up to the present year and its contents are always fresh and valuable. 55 56 August, 1908 COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION May 29, 1798, the House of Representatives resolved "that the Secretary of the Treasury do lay before the House annually a state- ment of the goods, wares, and merchandises imported into the U. S. in each year from the year 1796," etc. In compliance with this order a statement was annually compiled by the Register of the Treasury, transmitted to the House by the Secretary, and printed as a House document till 1820, usually under a title substantially like this : " Letter from the Secretary of the Treasury transmitting statements of goods, wares, and merchandise imported in American and foreign vessels." Feb. 10, 1820, an act was passed calling for a much more detailed and comprehensive annual statement, giving exports and domestic and foreign tonnage as well as imports. The compilations under this act were also made by the Register of the Treasury, the first being for 1821. In transmitting the 1821 com- pilation to Congress the then Secretary of the Treasury (Crawford) stated that it was sent in conformity with the act of Feb. 10, 1821 ; in transmitting the 1822 report he gave the date of the act as Jan. 10, 1820; not till the third attempt, 1823, did he get the correct date, Feb. 10, 1820. Whether these slips helped to inspire confidence in the general accuracy of the work does not appear. The title " Commerce and navigation of the United States " was first used in 1821 : it has been continued to the present time. The word " For- eign " was prefixed in 1881 and has been retained, and there have been at times supplemental volumes on " Internal commerce " and on " Inunigration," and at times the words " Immigration and ton- nage " have been included in the title, but the words " Commerce and navigation," in this order, have been the backbone of the title since 1821, and by them alone the set is known and identified. '' Commerce and navigation " has always been included in the Con- gressional document series, and from 1S22 to 1860 it was duplicated, appearing in both the Senate and the House series, except for the years 1831, 1832, 1847, 1848, 1850. For the years 1850-69 it was issued without document number. In 1831, 1832, and 1848 it was a House document only. In 1847 it was a Senate document only. Until 1849 it was a small document, bound up with others. From 1850 to 1875 it was a separate volume, octavo. In 1876 it was in two volumes, 1877 in one, 1878 in two (three in the cloth edition), 1879 in one. 1880 in two, 1881 in one, 1882 in two, 1883 in one, 1884, 1885, 1886, and 1887 in two volumes each year, 1888 in one, 1889, 1890, and 1891 in two, 1892 in one, 1893 in three, 1894 in two, 1895 in three, 1896 in three, 1897 in two, 1898 in one. From 1899 to 1904 two volumes were issued each year. The later issues are in one volume. It was an octavo till 1893, when it became a quarto, and the main volumes have so continued, though the Immigration and passenger movement volumes for 1893-95 are thin octavos. Begin- ning with 1850, there has also been a cloth-bound edition without document number. The work was compiled by the Register of the Treasury from the beginning till 1865. By act of July 28, 1866, the August, 1908 57 Bureau of Statistics, Treasury Department, was created, under charge of a Director, and the compilation of the annual report on Commerce and navigation was made a part of its duties. The Di- rector of Statistics issued the reports for 1S66 and 3867. The office of the Director was abolished Jan. 1, 18G9, but the Bureau remained, and a Deputy Special Commissioner of the Revenue was appointed and put in charge of it. He issued Commerce and navigation for 1S68 and 1869. Then a Chief of the Bureau of Statistics was ap- pointed, and by that officer the report has since been annually issued. With but one exception, Commerce and navigation has always been a compilation of the transactions of the fiscal year, which before 1843 ended Sept. 30. By act of Aug. 26, 1842, the fiscal year was changed to end June 30, the act taking effect July 1, 1843. The Commerce and navigation report for 1843 bridged the gap between the old and new fiscal years by covering only nine months, from Sept. 30, 1842, to June 30/1843. ANTI-NOBILITY AMENDMENT Amendment prohibiting acceptance of title, pension, office, or emolument from foreign power by citizens of United States. This proposed amendment came so near to adoption that for many years it was generally supposed to have been adopted, and in the first volume of the Bioren edition of the Laws of the United States, printed by authority of Congress in Washington, 1815, it is incorporated in the text as the 13th amendment to the Constitution. It was so printed, also, in the official edition of the Constitution supplied to the members of the House of Representatives at the opening of the 15th Congress, Dec. 1817. It was submitted to the States by Congress May 1, 1810, and no further Congressional ac- tion was taken till Dec. 31, 1817, when the House passed a resolu- tion calling for information as to the number of States which had ratified the proposed amendment. To this President Monroe re- sponded Feb. 4, 1818, by transmitting a report from the Secretary of State (John Quincy Adams) showing that twelve States (Dela- ware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hamp- shire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Vermont) had ratified, that three States (Connecticut, New York, and Rhode Island) had rejected, that South Carolina was in doubt, and that Virginia had not been heard from. The States being then seventeen in number, this completed the roll, and as thirteen (being three-fourths of the whole) were required to make the ratification effective, it fell short one State. Feb. 27, 1818, President ?Jouroe transmitted a further report, showing that South Carolina had failed to ratify by the nonaction of the House branch of the Legislature, the ratification voted by the State Senate being thus made inoperative, and that Virginia was still unheard from. There have been no further official communications on the subject, and Virginia has not been heard from to this day. The proposed anti-nobility amendment therefore remains imratified. but possibly 58 August, 1908 action sufficieut for ratification might still lawfully be taken by Virginia or South Carolina. The prohibition which the proposed amendment would have placed upon citisens of the United States had previously been placed upon officials by section 9, Article I, of the Constitution. NATIONAL HOME FOE DISABLED VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS The National Asylum for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers was incor- porated under an act of Congress approved Mar. 21, 1866, providing for a Board of Managers composed of the President, the Secretary of War, the Chief Justice, and nine others who were appointed by joint resolution approved Apr. 21, 1866. An act had been approved Mar. 3, 1865, naming 100 incorporators for a like purpose, but no action was taken under it. The Board of 12 created by the act of 1866 met for organization May 16 in that year, and chose Gen. B. F. Butler as its first president. Under this organization the various national homes for volunteer soldiers have been created and conducted. The Soldiers' Home at Washington, being for the Regular Army, is not under the jurisdiction of the Board, nor are the various State homes for soldiers. By act of Jan. 23, 1873, it was provided that the name "Asylum " be dropped and the word " Home " be substituted. The first soldiers were received Oct, 1867, at the Eastern Branch, near Augusta, Me., the first Home to be established. The Board pub- lishes annual reports, which are found in the set of numbered House documents. It also publishes Proceedings, Records, etc., which are not numbered documents. The law prohibits any one who has been in rebellion against the U. S. Government from serving as a mem- ber of the Board of Managers. The term of oflice is six years. The officers are paid for their services, the other Managers receiving only their expenses.

Volume 13. Decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission, also called Interstate Commerce Commission reports, is a document which many have been awaiting. The volumes of this series, up to V. 12, were issued by a private publishing firm, but are now sup- plied by the Superintendent of Documents. The price of v. 13 is $2. PUBLICATION OF THE LAWS There have been many compilers, many printers, many publish- ers, many editors, many editions, of the laws of the United States, but four series only have been compiled, printed, and distributed at Government charge, have been legally recognized as authoritative, and may rightfully be considered public documents within the ac- cepted definitions. These are the Folwell edition. 1795-1815: the Bioren edition, 1815-45; the Little & Brown edition, 1845-73; the State Department editiou. from 3 873. Besides these four, the only 94 September, 1908 important edition of the text of the public and general laws begin- ning with the foundation of the Government is the " Story edition," published at Boston, 1827, by Wells & Lilly, " under the inspection of Joseph Story, Justice of the Supreme Court." It was in three volumes, and two volumes in continuation were issued at Philadel- phia, 1837 and 1848, edited by George Sharswood. Before 1795 the only statutory provisions as to printing the laws were those of Sept. 15, 1789, giving the Secretary of State custody of the originals and directing him to supply one printed copy to each Senator and Representative; of June 14, 1790, directing the Secretary to pub- lish the treaties; and of Feb. 18, 1791, which permitted "Andrew Brown or any other printer " intending to publish the laws to com- pare his prints with the original rolls in the office of the Secretary of State. Pamphlet editions of the laws of each session were, how- ever, issued by several printers, and for many years also by the Secretary of State under authority of Congress. Folwell edition. — Mar. 3, 1795, President Washington approved the act which led to the issue of the so-called Folwell edition, the first collected edition of the laws. It was entitled "An act for the more general promulgation of the laws," and provided that the Secretary of State should cause to be printed, at public expense, an edition of the Constitution, treaties, and laws then in force, with index, 4,500 copies to be printed, 500 for Congress and 4,000 to be apportioned among the States and Territories on the basis of their representation in Congress, and that future laws and treaties should be printed and distributed in like manner. Under this sanction a three-volume edition was printed at Philadelphia by Richard Fol- well. All of the volumes bear the imprint date 1796, though vol. 3 contains the legislation of the 4th Congress, which continued until Mar. 3, 1797. In this edition each law is numbered as a chapter and in vols. 1 and 2 a new set of numbers begins with each ses- sion. In the later volumes one set of numbers runs through a whole Congress. Each private act has a number, but the text of private acts is not given. This is true also of acts which have been repealed or which have expired by the payment of appropriations or the expiration of dates. Folwell's volumes have no prefaces, introductions, notes, or other " apparatus," but the words " Pub- lished by authority " appear on the title-pages. Folwell issued in 1799 his vol. 4, containing the legislation of the 5th Congress. This volume was issued also by two other Philadelphia publishers, Mathew Carey and William Ross, and the latter's book appears to have been printed from Folwell's type, though it has not the same title-page. By act of Mar. 2, 1799, the edition was increased to 9,500 copies. In vol. 5 and the succeeding volumes the text of the private acts is given. Beginning with vol. 11 (12th Congress) the joint resolutions are numbered as chapters in the same series with the acts. Vol. 5 was printed at Philadelphia by Folwell, and Sam- uel Harrison Smith of Washington made an edition in which his title-page is pasted in before Folwell's. All the later volumes were issued at Washington. Vol. f? was jjvinted by William Duane and September, 1908 96 vol. 7 by Duane & Son. Vols. 8-12 have the imprint of Roger C. ■\Veightman. A'^ols. 9-11 were also "Printed for the Department of State." Vol. 12 gives the legislation of the 1st and 2d sessions of the 13th Congress. Vol. 13 covers the 3d session of the same Con- gress, bringing the record down to Mar. 3, 181.5. All, except the State Department print of vol. 9, have on their title-pages the words "Published by authority." Biorcn edition. — Apr. 18, 1814, President Madison approved an act looking to the issue of a more complete and satisfactory edition of the laws. It provided for a Government subscription to 1,000 sets of a new edition to be edited and compiled upon a plan pre- sented by the Secretary of State and the Attorney-General, the editor to be selected by the Secretary ; also that the succeeding laws be published in the same form and distributed in the same manner. Richard Rush, Attorney-General, under date of June 10, 1814, sent to James Monroe, Secretary of State, a long statement of his plan of publication, which the Secretary at once concurred in. In this statement it was said that " the want of a full and complete edition of the laws of Congress has long been felt." The new plan re- quired that all laws, though obsolete, repealed, or private, be printed; but laws relating solely to the District of Columbia were necessarily excluded, because that requirement had been embodied in the law authorizing the publication. By this plan it was also required that every act published should be compared with the originals; that all important acts, ordinances, or resolutions of the "old Congress" (Continental Congress) be included; full marginal notes to be given; the "common figure" (Arabic) to be used for all numbers and dates ; each volume to have an index ; the last volume to have a very full general index to the whole; treaties, constitu- tion, and historical documents to be indexed as well as the laws; " it would be better to put the same thing down more than once in the index," said Mr. Rush, " than indulge too freely the practice of referring from one head to another." Secretary Monroe appointed John B. Colvin as editor. Under his editorship the " Bioren edi- tion," 5 volumes, was published, 1815, by John Bioren and W. John Duane, Philadelphia, and R. C. Weightman, Washington city. Vol. 1 contains the great historical documents, treaties, and reprints from the journals of the " old Congress." In this edition the chapter numbers run by volumes, not by Congresses or by sessions. A new set of numbers begins with each volume. The joint resolutions are numbered in a separate series, beginning a new set of numbers with each session. In vol. 1 chapter number 102 is duplicated, that num- ber being given to the last act of the 1st Congress and also to the first act of the 2d Congress. In his first volume Mr. Colvin made a somewhat serious error by adding to his print of the Constitution a 13th amendment which was then pending, but had not been ratified by a sufficient number of States, and has not been so ratified to this day. Mr. Colvin admitted in his preface that he did not know that the amendment had been ratified, but he knew that it had been ratified by 12 States, and evidently he thought that at least one of 57375— No. 165—08 2 96 September, 1908 the five yet unheard from would turn up on the same side. The proposed 13th amendment was submitted to the States by the 11th Congress at its 2d session (May 1, 1810) and it was not until 1818 that it was ascertained that it had not been ratified. There were then 17 States, and the affirmative action of 13 was required. Twelve ratified promptly, four rejected, and Virginia was never heard from. In South Carolina the Senate approved, and if the House had concurred the amendment would have been ratified. It was in fact for many years the popular belief that it had been ratified. As lately as 1843 it so appeared in various histories. This popular misconception is no doubt lai-gely due to the error in the first volume of the accepted and oflicial edition of the laws. The proposed amendment was to deprive of citizenship any citizen who should accept a title or any form of emolument from a foreign power without the consent of Congress. Vol. 2 contains the laws, 1789-97 (lst-4fh Cong.) as in "old volumes" (Folwell edition) 1-3. Vol. 3, laws, 1797-1805 (5th-8th Cong.) as in "old volumes" 4-7. Vol. 4, laws, 1805-1815 (9th-13fh Cong.) as in "old volumes" 9-13. Vol, 5 is the general index. The volumes in continuation of the Bioren edition, which were contemplated and provided for by the act of Apr. 18, 1814, were issued as follows : Vol. 6, edited by John B. Col- vin, published by Davis & Force, Washington, 1822. Vol. 7, pub- lished by W. A. Davis, 1827; this volume has a general index, 1789- 1827, compiled by Samuel Burch, which was also published sep- arately. Vol. 8, by W. A. Davis, 1835. Vol. 9, printed by order of Congress, 1839. Vol. 10, printed by J. & G. S. Gideon, 1845. All of these volumes after the 5th have on their title-pages this sentence: " Corresponding with, and intended as a continuation of, the edition of Bioren & Co." Little & Brown edition (Statutes at large). — By 1845 Congress had apparently tired of the Bioren edition as it had formerly tired of the Folwell edition. From 1831, Duff Green, Richard Peters, and Little & Brown had been memorializing in favor of a new stereo- typed edition, and in 1829, 1832, and 1842, there had been strongly favorable reports by Congressional committees. Finally, Mar. 3, 1845 (2Sth Cong. 2d sess.), a joint resolution was adopted and approved by which the Attorney-General was authorized to contract with Little & Brown, of Boston, for 1,000 copies (sets) of a new edition of the general laws in four volumes, with the private laws and the treaties in two additional volumes, all to be arranged in strict chronological order. The requirement of chronological ar- rangement, while the private laws were printed in a separate volume, forced upon the unwilling editor, Richard Peters, the hippity- skippity scheme of numbering the chapters which still obtains and makes the Statutes at large peculiar. The scheme thus begun in 1845 is that of arranging all the laws, both public and private, in chronological order and numbering them in that order, then separating the private from the public laws and printing them in separate places, the numbers necessarily being irregular and non- consecutive in both places. Little & Brown were required to September, 1908 97 print from stereotype plates and to secure to the Government such an interest in these plates that it might be sure of having future editions free from hindrance or extortion. The new series of laws, like both its predecessors, went back to the beginning and reprinted i the Declaration of Independence and all succeeding enactments, i The series was called Statutes at large. The collective laws of a I session were called a " Statute " and designated by the number of the session, while each law was numbered as a chapter, a new set of chapter-numbers beginning with each session. This method of numbering the chapters has been continued to the present time. The Statute headings were dropped out of the text after the 2Srh Congress, but are even now continued in the table of contents, the word " Statutes," however, having been in late years substituted for " Statute." Though the first contract with Little & Brown in 1845 was for but six volumes, successive contracts extended the work till 17 volumes of the Statutes at large had been issued. Vols. 1-5 contain the public laws to the end of the 28th Congress, Mar. 3, 1845 ; vol. G, private laws, 1789-1845; vol. 7, Treaties with Indian tribes, 1778-1845; vol. 8, Foreign treaties and general index; vols. 9-17, Public and private laws, treaties, proclamations, etc.. Mar. 4, 1845, to Mar. 8, 1873, the end of the 42d Congress. Richai'd Peters was editor of vols. 1-8, George Minot of vols. 9 and 10, George Minot and George P. Sanger of vol. 11, George P. Sanger of vols. 12-37. The main lines of the title-page read in vols. 1-8, " Public statutes at large " ; in vols. 9-11, " Statutes at large and treaties " ; in vols. 12-15, "Statutes at large, treaties, and proclamations"; in vols. IG and 17, " Statutes at Inrge and proclamations." During all the term of their contract for the publication of the Statutes at large. Little & Brown published, in identical form except the binding, the acts of each session separately ("pamphlet laws"). State Department edition. — June 24, 1874, Congress discontinued the contract with Little & Brown and directed the Secretary of State to publish the Revised statutes, the pamphlet laws, and the Statutes at lai'ge. The Secretary wisely made his series a con- tinuation of that of Little & Brown, instead of reprinting eA-ery- thing from the foundation as had been previously done when a new series was begun. The first volume of Statutes at large issued by the State Department was vol. 18, part 3, containing the legisla- tion of the 4Cd Congress and the treaties negotiated and proclama- tions promulgated during the term of that Congress, Mar. 4, lS73-Mar. 3, 1875. The "part 3" attached to vol. 18 has been a stumbling block, because pai'ts 1 and 2 have no part numbers, nor even volume numbers, nor even the title " Statutes at large," on their title-pages. There is nothing whatever in the books them- selves to connect them with vol. IS, part 3, of the Statutes at large. This very defective method of publishing has been a continual source of embarrassment since the volumes were issued in 1875. Part ] is the first edition of the first vohnne of the Revised statutes. Part 2 contains three distinct collections, separately titled, paged, and indexed, namely : Revised statutes relating to the District of 98 September, 1908 Columbia ; Revised statutes relating to post roads, and Public treaties cf the United States in force Dec. 1, 1873. From the 40d Congress to the uGth, the St:ite Department issued a new volume of Statutes at large for each Congress, the volume numbers being con- secutive, 38 to 31. When the legislation of the 57th Congress, with the treaties and proclamations of its period, 1901-03, was collected, it was found too extensive for a single volume, and volume 32 was published in two parts, part 1 containing the public laws and part 2 containing the private laws, concurrent resolutions, treaties, and proclamations. Concurrent resolutions were first printed with the laws of the 53d Congress, in vol. 28, Statutes at large, and their publication has been continued, as directed by the law of Jan. 12, 1S95 (Stat. L. V. 28, p. 615). The State Department series follows closely the methods of the Little & Brown series. The Department issues also after each session a pamphlet print of the laws, treaties, and proclamations of the session. The pamphlets are identical in size of page, method of numbering, annotation, etc., with the vol- umes of the Statutes at large. Revised statutes. — As early as 1848 the bulk of the Statutes at large, then filling 9 volumes, led to a desire for a revision, excluding private and obsolete enactments and including the whole body of permanent general laws of the United States in one volume. In 1S4S there was a strong report from the House Judiciary Committee in favor of revision, and other similar reports followed, but it was not till 1866 that three commissioners were appointed to make the revision. The efforts of this commission proved inadequate, mainly if not wholly because of the resignation of its chairman, Caleb Cushing, to go on a diplomatic mission to Bogota. In 1870 a second commission of three was chosen, and produced the code which was reenacted by Congress June 22, 1874, and published in 1875, the volume containing also, as an appendix, an act to correct errors and supply omissions, approved Feb. 18, 1875. In 1877 George S. Boutwell was appointed to make another revision preparatory to a 2d edition. This edition was published in 1878, and is the legal standard. A Supplement to the Revised statutes has been issued as follows : Vol. 1, 1881 ; Vol. 1, 2d edition, 1891 ; Vol. 2, no. 1, 1892; Vol. 2, uo. 2, 1893; \o\. 2, nos. 1-5, 1895; Vol. 2, no. 6, 1896; Vol. 2, no. 7, 1897; Vol. 2, no. 8, 1899; Vol. 2, no. 9, 1901. The ninth number completed vol. 2 of the Supplement, which was thereupon issued in bound form with title-page and index. In neither edition (1875 iiud 1878) of vol. 1, Revised statutes, are the services of an editor recognized. Of the Supplement, both edi- tions of, vol. 1, 1881 and 1891, were edited by William A. Richard- son. Of vol. 2 of the Supplement, parts 1-6 were edited by W. A. Richai-dson, assisted by George A. King and William B. King; parts 7-9 were edited by George A. King and William B. King with the cooperation of Edwin C. Brandenburg. The laws have never been published in the Congressional series of numbered documents. Slii) laiDS. — From the very outset there have been authorized prints of the individual laws separately and pamphlet editions of September, 1908 99 the laws of each regular and special session. The first action in reference to the separate prints of the individual laws of which record has been found in the published documents is a joint resolu- tion adopted by the Senate June 4, 1789, and by the House next day. It provides that within ten days after the passage of any law 22 printed copies of it shall be lodged with the President, two copies to be by him sent to the chief officer of each State. (There were then but 11 States, Rhode Island and North Carolina having not yet i-atified the Constitution.) This is a very early resolution, but its terms imply that "slip laws" were already being printed at the time of its adoption. While files of them have not been preserved, and the history of their publication can not be clearly made out, there is little doubt that they have been regularly printed from the begiiuiing of the Government. Under the present practice, the slip laws are carefully edited and proof-read in the Rolls and Library Bureau, State Department, and printed as promptly as possible after their passage. Each law, no matter what its length, is a separate publication. The public and the private laws are arranged in two numerical series, each series being separately numbered in chronological order. The edition printed is 2,110 copies of public laws and 760 copies of private laws, of which 500 copies of each kind go for distribution to the Rolls and Library Bureau, State Department, 60 copies to the Treasury Department, and the re- mainder to Congress. The "slip laws" are accepted as authori- tative by the courts until the Statutes are published. As the " slip laws " are not collected in volumes, no title-pages or indexes are issued for them. They do not even show the Congress or session at which they were enacted, though that may be determined by the date of approval which appears at the end of each act. As the "slip laws" are numbered in two series, and the same laws, as chapters in the Statutes at large, are numbered in one series, the numbers do not agree, and reference from one to the other was difficult till the issue of vol. 32, Statutes at large (57th Congress). In this and succeeding volumes the slip number is given in a side note opposite the chapter number, as it is also in the pamphlet laws for the 57th and succeeding Congresses. Pamphlet laivs. — Under this name and that of " Session laws " are known the editions of the laws of each session of Congress which are issued in paper covers as soon as practicable after the close of the session, and are subsequently, and practically without change of form, incorporated in the Statutes at large. In some form or other, pamphlet laws have been issued and distributed at Government charge from the beginning of Government under the Constitution. In 1818, when the edition was increased to 11,000, it was stated that previously it had been 10,000. It remained at 11,000 for many years. Under the printing law of 1895 the edition is 11,500, includ- ing 1,000 to be sold by the Superintendent of Documents. In the 37th Congress, 1st session (1861), the laws of that session were printed as a numbered Congressional document, House mis. doc. 23. 100 September, 1908 This is the only instance of the publication of the pamphlet laws in a numbered series of Congressional documents. Neivsi)ai)er publication. — One of the provisions of the first statute in relation to publishing the laws directed the Secretary of State to have them printed in three newspapers. With various chnnges in the number of papers, this kind of publication was continued till Mar. 4, 1875, when it was prohibited by law. Indexes. — The first general index to the laws was that made in ac- cordance with the plan of Attorney-General Richard Rush. It is vol. 5 of the Bioren edition of the laws and was compiled by J. B. Colvin and published in 1815. The period covered is Mar. 4, 1789, to Mar. 4, 1S15. It is not properly an index, but a digest. Its entries undertake to show not only where a law is but also all that is in it. Some of its entries are two pages long and many a page or half- page. It was found cumbersome and no other like it has been made. Mr. Colvin himself, in the preface to vol. 6, Bioren edition, condenms the too voluminous index in vol. 5 and follows quite a ditferent method in making the volume index to vol. 6. The next general index was compiled by Samuel Burch under authority of a House resolution of May 15, 1824, and printed with vol. 7 of the Bioren edition, 1828, and also separately. It covers the period Mar. 4, 1789, to Mar. 3, 1827. It is full, but not unduly full, and was hi.ihly esteemed in its day. Jan. 11, 1849, the Senate adopted a resolution directing the Secretary of the Senate to " contract with a suitable person to compile a synoptical index to the laws and treaties in continuation of " Burch's index of 1828. Mar. 11, 1850, the Secretary reported to the Senate that the new index was complete. A contract was made with Little & Brown to publish it, and it appeared in 1S.')2. Instead of being a continuation of Burch, it incorporates his index and thus covers the whole period. Mar. 4, 1789, to Mar. 3, 1851. It is similar in plan to Burch's index, and its references are to both the Bioren and the Little & Brown editions. There were reprints 1853 and 1856. With the 8th volume of the Statutes at large, 1867, was printed a general index to vols. 1-8 of that series, in which are contained the laws, treaties, and proclamations, 1789-1845. The revision of the laws, and the issue of the Revised statutes fi-om 1873 onward, has done away with the urgent need for general in- dexes to the laws. JJigests.— The first general digest of the laws appears to have been Ingersoll's, 1821, and the next Thomas F. Gordon's, 1st edition 1827, 2d edition 1837, 3d edition 1844, 4th edition 1851. Gordon's Digest was for many years one of the books bought by Congress and supplied to its members. Brightley's Analytical digest was printed in successive editions, 1858, 1863, 1865, and 1869. There have been many collections and digests of the laws relating to particu- lar subjects, as Heyl's Revenue laws, 1868; Mayo's Pension laws, 1833, and others, but these should be considered in connection with the subjects to which they relate.

The sheets of which it is composed are projected with- out reference to political divisions, and are desi.anated by some promi- nent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1 : G2.;jOO. 1 : f25,000, and 1 : 2.50. 0(»0. These correspond, approxi- mately, to 1 mile. 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size, unless otherwise given, is about 17.5 inches in heicrbt by 11.5 to If) inches in width, exclusive of the marsin. the width varying with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. About one-third of the area of the country, excludinc; outlying pos- sessions, has been mapped, nearly every State being represented. Jlas- snchusetts, Connectic\it. Rhode Island. New .Tersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular si-,'.e are sold by the Survey at 5c. each ; luit in lots of 100 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 3c. each. In no case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solely for topographic maps amounts to at least ?3.00.

Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for informa- tion, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications cata- logued. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports, are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House docu- ments and reports, 60th Congress, 1st session, is to be understood. 136 Notes of General Interest In the October list of public documents a very notable example comes from the Law Division of the Library of Congress as volume 1 of the Index analysis of Federal statutes. It is a very minute and extended index to the Revised statutes of 1S73, and to the Statutes at large since published, namely, volumes lS-3-1. It is the first gen- eral index to the laws of the United States that has been compiled since Little and Brown's index to volumes 1-8, Statutes at large, published more than 40 years ago. The magnitude and completeness of the new work may be partly estimated from the fact that volume 1 alone fills nearly 1,400 quarto pages, and the whole work will comprise certainly three and perhaps four volumes. Volume 2, which is to index the private, local, and temporary laws, will be at least two years longer in compilation, and no date has been fixed for the publication of that volume or the succeeding volumes. Volume 1 is, however, the only one which the average legal practi- tioner will require, as it indexes all the general and permanent laws. The last thing in the book is one that will be a great convenience to many people. It is a list of the popular names of certain statutes which are much used and usually known by the names of their authors, with references to the volumes and chapters where they may be found. This volume is published by the Library of Congress and sold by the Superintendent of Documents. A new volume of the 1905 census of manufactures came from the Census Bureau during the month. It is part 4 and is made up of Special reports on selected industries. The 1909 List of stars for navigators has been issued by the Nautical Almanac Office. From the General Land Oflice came a list of Unappropriated public lands. That monumental work, the Index-catalogue of library of Surgeon- General's Office, United States Army, has reached the 13th volume of its 2d series, the 1st series having been completed in 16 volumes. There are new prints of Laws and regulations relating to Hot Springs Reservation and Yellowstone and Yosemite national parks. Annual reports of Government bureaus for the fiscal year 1907 are beginning to drift in. By next month they should be numerous. Sailors can now be supplied with the 2d edition of the American nautical almanac for 1909. 137 138 October, 1908 In Silvical leaflet 19 the Foi-est Service has made a distinct con- tribution to the popular nomenclature of American trees by coining the word " bigtree " for the popular name of Sequoia icashingtoniana, the biggest of all big trees, the tree that made California famous. The Congressional record for the GOth Congress, 1st session, has been issued in its permanent bound form as volume 42 in 8 parts or books and an index volume. Each part is in fact a great quarto volume of about a thousand pages, and the index volume is still larger. The 8 parts sell for $2.25 each and the index for $2.50, making $20.50 for the sot of 9 volumes. Volume 36, Land decisions, is in the October list and now ready for delivery. For the first time a volume in this series is bound in buckram instead of sheep. The price is $1.25. The Decisions of the Geographic Board on the proper form of place names, made during the two years, July, 1906, to July, 1908, have been published in a 3S-page pamphlet. Bulletin 369 of the United States Geological Survey, Prevention of mine explosions, is the work of three European experts who were invited to this country to make an inspection of the causes which have led to a destruction of human life in American mines far greater than in the mines of any other country. The Agriculture Department, always a prolific publisher, has a /long list of booklets this month. Among them we note especially / Primer of conservation, a preliminary manual in the study of what \ may perhaps be rated the greatest of all our national questions, / the conservation of natural resources. It is the first official publi- cation sketching the work of the famous conference of governors held at the White House last May. WOEKS OF JOHN ADAMS The works of John Adams, in 10 volumes, edited by his grand- son, Charles Francis Adams, were published by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, 1856. By act approved September 30, 1850, Congress appro- priated $22,500 to buy 1,000 sets. By resolution approved February 27, 1851, the distribution of between 500 and 600 sets was provided for, and it was directed that the remainder be sold. These volumes are not in the numbered series of Congressional documents. AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION The American Historical Association was formed at Saratoga September 9, 1884. The " Papers " of the Association, consisting of reports of the proceedings of the annual meetings and some of the historical monographs that had been read before the Association, were published by the Putnams, 1885-91, and have been collected in five substantial volumes, the copyright being held by the Association. These volumes, giving the proceedings and papers of the first seven annual meetings, are not public documents. By act of Congress approved January 4, 1889, the Association was incorporated, the act providing that " said Association shall report annually to the Secre- October, 1908 139 tary of the Smithsonian Institution concerning its proceedings and the condition of historical study in America ; said Secretary shall communicate to Congress the whole of such reports or such portions thereof as he shall see fit." From that time the proceedings and historical monographs of the Association have been issued by the Government as numbered Senate documents in one or two volumes yearly, under the title "Annual reports of American Historical As- sociation." The first two issues in this form, those for 1SS9 and ISOO, duplicate the proceedings of the 6th and 7th meetings, which had already been published in the " Papers," and also partially duplicate the monographs in volumes 4 and 5 of the " Papers." The issue of the " Papers " was discontinued after the 7th meeting. ANNALS OF CONGRESS The Annals of Congress, 42 volumes large 8", of which two volumes were issued in 1834 and the remainder in 1849-56, give no doubt as faithful a report of the debates and proceedings of the first 17 Congresses and the first session of the 18th Congress as It was possible to compile after such a lapse of time. Congress en- couraged the publishers. Gales and Seaton, by an appropriation, March 3, 1851 (31st Cong. 2d sess.), for 2,000 sets, of which it ordered 600 to be distributed to libraries and officials and 1,400 to be deposited in the Department of State, subject to the order of Congress. Apparently Congress never ordered them out of the Department. More than a generation later they were so plentiful there that for some years it was the custom to give a set to each clerk. Up to the time of the Civil War it was also the custom to vote a set to each member of the House of Representatives. HERNDON AND GIBBON'S EXPLORATION OF THE AMAZON VALLEY Part 1 (Herndon) was transmitted to Congress February 10, 1853, and on that day ordered printed by the Senate as Senate ex. doc. 36, 32d Cong. 2d sess. At the same session, March 3, 1853, 10,000 additional copies were ordered, the resolution also providing for printing part 2 (Gibbon), should it be submitted before the close of the session. It was so submitted and printed. Part 1 (Herndon) was ordered printed by the House February 12, 1853, as House ex. doc. 43, 32d Cong. 2d sess. January 6, 1854 (33d Cong. 1st sess.), 10,000 additional copies were ordered, including both parts. These extra copies of part 1 were issued as House ex. doc. 43, 32d Cong. 2d sess., and those of part 2 as House ex. doc. 53, 33d Cong. 1st sess. Later In the session, April 13, 1854, the House ordered 20,000 copies more. Both volumes of this edition were designated House ex. doc. 53, 33d Cong. 1st sess. As a consequence of these various printings, cloth volumes of part 1 are found as House ex. doc. 53, 33d Cong. 1st sess., but in the sheep-bound Congressional series the House edition of part 1 is found only as House ex. doc. 43, 32d Cong. 2d sess. 140 October, 1908 CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE REPORTS The recommendation that the printed reports of Congressional committees be collected and indexed, made in certain reports by the Committee on Printing in 1S84, did not bear fruit till 1887, when the committee reports were compiled and indexed by Thomas Hudson McKee in 513 volumes, 178 of the reports of Senate committees and 335 of the reports of House committees, furnished with 95 indexes, 36 to Senate reports and 59 to House reports, being a distinct index for each standing committee and a combined index in each branch for the select and special committees. The 513 volumes were not issued as a set, but each committee was supplied with a complete collection of its own reports adequately indexed. Capt. McKee published an edition of the 95 indexes, separately from the reports, for sale to libraries and collectors. The collections extended from the date of organization of each committee to the close of the 49th Congress, 1887, in no case, however, beginning at an earlier date than the opening of the 14th Congress, 1815. The reports of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, 1789-1901, were reprinted in 8 volumes, 1901 (56th Cong. 2d sess., Senate doc. 231, volumes 19-26, serial nos. 4047-54). CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY Though the Congressional directory does not appear among the numbered Congressional documents till 1881, a manual under that name has been issued from an early period in Congressional history and pex'haps from the beginning. The earliest copy in the Public Documents Library is of the 17th Congress (1822). The Directory was compiled and printed as a private venture till 1847, and the names of compilers and printers are many. In the 30th Congress (1848) the Directory assumed an official air by bearing on its title- page the words " Compiled and published for the use of Congress by the postmaster of the House of Representatives." This style was continued till 1865, when by joint resolution, approved February 14, the publication was put under the direction of the Committee on Printing and required to be printed at the Government Printing Office. The early directories are queer little pamphlets, the 17th Congress copy being 3J by 5}| inches in size and 47 pages thick, contrasting strongly with the 400-page octavo of to-day.

Contributions to knowledge ; 2, Miscellaneous collections ; .3, annual reports ; 4, special publications. No sets of theye are for sale or dis- tribution, as most of the Tolimips are out of print. The volumes of Contributions and of Miscellaneous collections are distributed only to public libraries and to learned institutions and societies in this country and abroad. A small edition of the papers in these two series is printed separately for sale or exchange. The Smithsonian reports are regularly distributed by the Institution to libraries throughout the world, and only a limited number of the volumes remains to supply demands from other sources. No general mailins-Ust of individuals is maintained. The reports can be had by purchase from the Superin- tendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. The papers printed in the annual reports .■'.re published separately for free distribution. Publi- cations should be ordered by the serial niimher. Remittances should be made payable to ' Smithsonian Institution.' An application from a library should state the number of volumes in the library and the date of establishment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress." The annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are regularly issued ns public documents. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution.

C. True, official bibliographer for the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Sta- tions, the Superintendent of Documents met with the Association on Nov. 18, 190S, and read the following paper which was prepared to emphasize the facts of the present wasteful methods of gratuitous distribution, the unfortunate condition of the designated depository list, and the value of centralization in matters of disseminating government literature. It is gratifying to note that the paper was well received and has brought in numerous inquiries, thus aiding in the purpose of popularizing public documents. Mr. President and Gentlemen : It is truly indicative of progress that a learned Association sucli as this sliould invite remarks on the subject of public documents — a subject which until recently has been shunned by the majority of those who labor in various ways to disseminate knowledge. It is gratifying to note this growing interest, as it will certainly prove erroneous the preconceived notions regarding the dryness and uselessness of the literature which Uncle Sam prepares and distributes, and when all unwarranted prejudice is superseded by an understanding of the true value of Government publications, the documents will be more widely used, and will be considered a valuable asset in a library, instead of the burden that they are, to many, at present. Every year Government publications increase in number, volume, and usefulness. Bureaus which a few years ago were not known outside the Department to which they are attached, have by judicious publishing brought themselves to the notice of the public, and exerted an influence over the thought of the age along the lines of their specialties. In this regard no Department has developed more rapidly than has the Department of Agriculture. In 1890 the total number of publications issued was 427 ; with 6,5G1,700 copies as a total ; whereas eleven years later, in 1907, the aggregate number of publications was 1,415, in editions totaling 10,740,910 ; and you are doubtless aware that the Experiment Stations Office in 1S96 contributed 74 publications with a total of 1,130,850 copies, and in 1907, 283 publications and 2,404,400 copies to these totals. You are, as a body, principally interested in agricultural subjects, but the publications of the Agriculture Department are so familiar to you that I am not going to allude to them further than to show that they represent the bulk of the books we sell and distribute. I feel sure you are desirous of knowing what means and methods the Government is adopting to aid you in your great educational work, and shall therefore tell you of some of the difficulties which oppose the popu- larizing of these documents, and of the history and work of the office which has to do with supplying the Government publications free to libraries and schools, and by sale to individuals — the Documents Office, or the Public Documents Division of the Government I'rinting Office. For many years prior to 1S95, the distributing of Government books to libraries was accomplished through the Public Documents Division of the Department of the Interior, but the handling of the publications of one of the Executive Departments l)y another Department never worked harmoni- ously, and it was finally decided to transfer the work to a new bureau urder the jurisdiction of the Public I'rinter. Accordingly an elaborate plan for the establishment and maintenance of the office of the Superinten('.ent of 171 178 November, 1908 Documents was drawn up for Insertion In a printing law then before Con- gress, a plan which, had It been enacted, would have fulfilled the hopes of document experts and established the methods of distribution on a Arm basis for future development along economical lines. But alas ! this very essential portion of the bill was placed upon the altar of sacrifice to the groat legislative god Compromise, and in its final form was almost unrecog- nizable to its framers and promoters, and presents as Illogical an enactment as was ever placed upon the statute books. It was the original purpose to establish, convenient to the Government Printing Oflice, a central distributing agency for all public documents. In order to avoid extra handling of the vast number of publications annually Issued therefrom. In this office were to be consolidated the many distrib- uting agencies, thus making it possible to detect and prevent duplication in shipments, and, If properly equipped, provide an easy means of compiling records for use In obtaining needed legislation in the future. So it was pro- posed that this new officer, the Superintendent of Documents, should have general supervision of all Government publications, and that to his custody should be consigned all documents printed for distribution. But as a result of the conciliatory amendments, those publications printed for use of Con- gress, the Executive Departments, and the independent publishing offices, were excepted from the operation of this provision, virtually leaving the Superintendent of Documents in control of the distribution of only such publications as he himself should issue, and those which by law were in- tended for depository libraries. But centralization in distribution must come, and with it will be solved the great questions which are now so vexed and difficult of solution. At present the Superintendent of Documents distributes the books fur- nished by law for the use of one library in each Congressional district, to be chosen by the Representative from that district, and one library in any part of a State or Territory to be named by each Senator, Delegate, or Congressman at Large, which libraries are known as " designated deposi- tories." There are also lists composed of four libraries similarly designated In each district, to which the current Issues of the publications of the Geological Survey are forwarded, and of eight libraries in each district named as recipients of the weekly issues of the Official gazette of the Patent Office. To those libraries constituted designated depositories we ship periodically one copy of each and every public document printed, except those considered confidential or strictly official in character. It is easily seen that this privilege Is a valuable one to a library which can afford to take care of the hooks sent, hut a burden to one unequipped for the work. It is In the proper selection of these libraries for the placing of collections of Govern- ment publications that I am anxious to interest this Association. We have on our lists now some 487 such libraries, out of a possible G15, and I doubt If the full number will ever be designated, as it Is a question whether there are that number, among the nine thousand libraries in the country, able or willing to assume the responsibilities of depositories. In the course of a year each designated depository library receives on an average from 000 to 1,000 books and pamphlets, which will occupy in bulk at least fifty feet of shelf space. It is no small problem properly to classify and make avail- able such a quantity of material, covering subjects ranging from agriculture to astronomy, and treating of them in bulletins, circulars, monographs, and reports of the most technical nature. At a recent session of Congress, regardless of strenuous opposition and the exhibiting of the baneful results of such an action, a law was passed constituting all of your land grant colleges designated depositories. Of the 67 libraries notified of the conferring of this great privilege, 13 declined to S'^cept the honor, and 2 have since requested to be dropped from the list, finding no use for the major part of the material forwarded. I have no doubt that many of the others are alike desirous of discontinuing the books perioa?cally sent, as they are not permitted to select that class of literature which would be of service to them. The theory of depositories Involves the November, 1908 179 placing conveniently throughout the country complete sets of Government publications for the use of the people; but even after many years of annual expenditures of over $100,000, the designated library, as the depository of a complete file of Government publications, is but a theory still. No greater good could be wrought in library economy In the various States, than a movement looking to the proper location of these depositories, and the ol)taining of legislation making them permanent, instead of leaving them subject to change at the whims of Members of Congress. If perma- nently designated after careful selection, valuable and useful collections could be built up, where now are scattered, unclassified, and unused sets. Another prolilcm which presents itself for solution, and which is second only to that of the proper location and privileges to be granted to the deposi- tories, is whether gratuitous distribution or sale is most advisable in dis- tributing public documents. Perhaps it Is too radical to suggest the total abolition of the practice of gratuitous distribution, but I would almost prefer to run the risk of doing an injustice to a few earnest collaborators rathei than continue to encumber unoffending libraries or waste valuable printed matter on unappreciative constituents. It has been demonstrated by practical experience in the past few years that the restriction of the free distribution to libraries, institutions of learning, and collaborators, does not lessen the interest of the public in the publications, but increases It. I would advocate selling all books at a nominal figure, just enough to cover the cost of production and distribution, which under correct conditions should be comparatively small. With careful advertising and keeping customers informed of new publications, not only a more logical but a less expensive distribution would result. I'rint all the useful matter you can compile for the benefit of the farmer; take pains to notify him of its publication ; provide him with an inexpensive and easy means of remitting for the purchase of the books desired ; cen- tralize the now numerous agencies from which publications and information are obtained, and ways and means will have been provided for reaching more who would he actually henefited than can ever be reached through the free and fitful methods now in vogue. In 1806 our office sold 21,363 Government publications; in 1906, 74,806, while the annual report for 1908 will exhibit 211,897 copies disposed of. Of the latter figure 94,026 copies wore Agriculture Department publications, nearly as many as the entire sales for 1896 and 1900 combined. It Is our desire and aim to popularize public documents, and their increased sale Is largely due to our efforts to make them known. The general routine of Government ofiicial life gives little time or opportunity for the application of those " follow up " and custom catching methods found so profitable in the business world, but the Documents Office has only two purposes in life, namely : to collect and catalogue the publications as Issued, and to make them known and supply them to those who may desire to obtain them. In fulfilling the first part of our mission we have collected the most com- plete file of U. S. Government publications in the world, a collection which is used as the hasls for all our cataloguing and reference work. We compile a Monthly catalogue, which lists all current Issues of the month covered; a complete index to the numbered publications of Congress, which is issued at the close of each regular session of Congress ; and the great Document catalogues which appear every two years, and contain the permanent record of everything published during that period. These catalogues are free to libraries, but it is an astounding fact that out of an edition of 2,.'J00 copies of the Monthly catalogue, only 1,128 are distributed, though the publication has been offered free by sending sample copies to every library In the country. But what is the use of writing hooks, puhlishing, or cataloguing them, unless you make them known and available to the people? Had this ques- tion been asked and answered years ago, the congestion of three million publications, two-thirds of which were either superseded by later editions or rendered obsolete by age, would never have embarrassed a Superintendent of Documents. But the making of hooks, of which there truly is no end, 180 November, 1908 continues ; the size of editions once established remains the same ; and without knowlcdsc whore bef?t to ploce the copies published, the publishers retain them undisturbed. What a shameful waste of energ3', time, and money. We have done our best to assort the vast accumulation now on hand ; have made known throuf^h the medium of a Free list those which were avail- able for library distribution ; have put into our stock over a million good and useful books ; obtained permission to dispose of a greater portion of the remainder by sale as waste paper, and procured legislation permitting the printing of allotments in editions as needed, to prevent overprinting and a repetition of this wasteful accumulation. We are printing and circulating price lists and leaflets to your libraries, to our customers, and to specially selected lists of names, in the hope of disposing of our great store of older publications, as well as those of current Interest. We are advertising in magazines and daily papers, and displaying in the post oflices throughout the country a neat list of important publica- tions available by purchase, a list entitled in large letters " Government documents for the people." We are sending this also to your schools and libraries, and asking you to give it prominence and bring its contents to the attention of your students. Our reference force is answering hundreds of letters a day, giving refer- ences to particular subjects, and informing persons who apply how to obtain the desired publications by sale, or where they can consult them in a nearby library. Careful consideration is given every customer to locate him on the list which will insure his receiving notice of future publications in which he might be interested, and this is all done because we are anxious to circulate, instead of accumulate, public documents. We want all the libraries, colleges, and schools to understand that we stand ready to assist them in procuring either the information contained or the public document itself ; that our services to them are entirely free and willingly bestowed, as are also the books when in stock ; and that their interest in our methods and their friendly cooperation are what we need in order to continue to develop our plan of a clearing house for Government publications and a bureau of information regarding their contents. I cordially invite you all to visit us in our new and commodious quarters in the Annex Building, adjoining the Government Printing Oflnce ; and solicit your patronage in the future for growing reciprocal benefits in another broad field of educational extension and experiment. The new numbered series of statistical reports on the consumption of American wood, issued by the Census Bureau in cooperation with the Forest Service and called " Forest products," is making rapid progress. The numbers issued during November were : 2, Lumber cut of United States ; 3, Production of slack cooperage stock ; 4, Consumption of tanbark and tanning extracts ; 5, Wood consumed in veneer manufacture. The statistics are all for the j'ear 1907. Volume 14, Decisions of Comptroller of Treasury, July 1, 1907- June 30, 3908, has been issued; also v. 17, Pension decisions, carry- ing a topical index to v. 9-17. The Education Bureau's Bulletin 4, series of 1908, is entirely devoted to the interesting subject of Music education in United States. The conclusions of the author, Prof. Arthur L. Manchester, are thus stated (in part) : "It is clear that the present status of formal music education is one of transition , . . there is still lacking the unity and complete coordination of effort that should characterize a well-grounded scheme of education." November, 1908 181 Circular 137 of the Animal Industry Bureau is a reprint from the Bureau's annual report for 1007 and is entitled " Preservation of our native types of horses." It is likely to be widely circulated and to make many interested persons acquainted with the fact that the United States Agriculture Department is carrying on several horse- breeding establishments, and trying to perpetuate, before it shall be too late, the famous breeds of American horses, and especially the Morgan horse. The pamphlet has numerous horse portraits. The Proceedings of 24th annual convention of Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, Jamestown Exposition, Norfolk, Va., Oct. 9-11, 1907, are just published. These Proceedings interest a large constituency. Dr. Howard, the entomologist of the Agriculture Department, has published his annual report for 1908. The most of those who read it will, we tliink, be amazed at the view it gives of the magnitude of the war waged by the Government against insect pests, and only a dull reader can fail to be interested in the history of it. One of the shadows which the coming event casts before is the Unofficial list of members-elect of House of Representatives and their places of residence. Gist Congress, just issued by the clerk of the present House. Field operations of Bureau of Soils, 1906, being the 8th annual report in this series, is now published in collected form, having been previously published in 38 separate pamphlets. An atlas will follow. Hinds' precedents of the House of Representatives, including refer- ences to provisions of the Constitution, laws, and decisions of the Senate, by Asher C. Hinds, clerk at the Sneaker's table, is a ponder- ous and monumental work, to be completed in S v., of which 4 have thus far been published. It is a spacious quarto, and v. 1^ average more than 1100 pages each. Five of the volumes will contain the vast collection of precedents, and 3 will be filled with a copious digest and index, or index-digest as the author prefers to call it, making the whole mass of material easily accessible. In 1898 Mr. Hinds compiled the original volume of Hinds' Parliamentary precedents — a quarto of nearly 1200 pages, which, large as it was, was only the nucleus from wliich the greater work has grown. Upon this greater work he has been engaged ever since. Nothing needs to be said of the desirability of such a work. Parliamentary law is built upon precedent, and though Mr. Hinds has been able to carry a large part of his eight big volumes in his head, it is not to be expected that other people will be able to do so. Those who have their heads full of other things, and still wish to know American parliamentary law as it has been developed through 120 years' practice in the House of Representatives, must have this book, which in all proba- bility will remain the standard authority for many years to come. The author is a Maine nev?spaper man, who came to Washington with the late Speaker Reed and has been the right hand of every succeeding Speaker. His qualifications for the authorship of a compilation of the precedents of the House are beyond dispute. The 182 November, 1908 work is House document 355, in v. 79-85, pt. 2, of the 59th Congress, 2d session. The Annual report of commissioner of patents, 1907, is out. As all who are interested know, the report has attached an annual Index of inventions and patentees. This index may be expected to be in unusual demand from the fact that the volume indexes to the Official gazette of the Patent Office theretofore issued were not published for the year 1907. Library sort of people will be interested in the annual report for 1908 of Mr. W. Dawson Johnston, librarian of the Bureau of Edu- cation, which is issued this month. It shows that progress has been made and that greater progress is planned. The Apprenticeship system in its relation to industrial education, by Carroll D. Wright, is a study of more economic importance at the present time than it could ever have been before, because of the increasing disposition of employers to require trained assistants and to consider the best means of getting them. It is published by the Education Bureau as Bulletin 6, series of 1908, The dissemination of knowledge as to the promotion and preserva- tion of the health of human kind continues to occupy a large share of the time and thought of scientific investigators and of the people at large. We have this month several Government publications in this department of inquiry. One is a report of the Transactions of 6th annual Conference of State and Territorial Health Officers with Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service. Another is a Preliminary study of effects of cold storage on eggs, quail, and chickens, by H. W. Wiley and others. A third is a circular on Foot-and-mouth disease, a malady so contagious that its recent outbreak among the domestic animals of Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, and Maryland has alarmed the country. The annual reports of surgeon-generals of Army and Navy are among the November publications. Each one reports an improved health-rate in the branch of the service under his charge. The Interstate Commerce Commission's Accident bulletin 28, showing collisions and derailments of trains and casualties to per- sons, Apr.-June, IDOS, with tables for year ending June 30, 1908, Is a ghastly record. The killed for the quarter number 591 and the injured 13,098. For the year tbe totals are: Killed, 3,7G4; injured, 68,989. And these reports deal only with employees on duty and passengers. " Other persons " get killed and injured plentifully, but they are not counted in the Accident bulletin, though they are in the Annual report of the Commission. Bad though the 190S accident record is, it is much better than in preceding years, so far as fatalities to passengers by train accidents are concerned. Evi- dently the laws requiring the use of safety appliances are doing good. An important advance "sepai'ate" from Mineral resources of United States, calendar year 1907, is the Summary of mineral pro- duction for that year. Despite the commercial depression, it was the banner year for mineral production, the aggregate values ex- November, 1908 183 ceeding two thousand million dollars. Coal remains the most valu- able mineral pi-oduct, the year's production amounting to $014,- 79S,S9S, while iron amounted to $529,958,000, and gold to only $90,435,700. It is an open question whether to rejoice or mourn over tiie increased mineral production. It is not well to forget that coal and iron ore are exhaustible and that when exhausted they cannot be replaced. REPORTS OF THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS The Library of Congress can supply copies of its reports, 1SG9-96, and also a few copies of its printed catalogs. If your library does not have a complete set, please send a list of the numbers needed to the Librarian of Congress. RECENT INDEXES TO THE LAWS Since the issue of the Scott-Beaman Index analysis of Federal statutes inquiry has sprung up as to whether it is the index which was authorized by Senate resolution adopted June 19, 1902, and, if not, what are the differences between the two. The resolution of 1902 directed the Judiciary Committee of the Senate to "cause to be prepared" a consolidated index of the United States statutes Mar. 4, 17S9-Mar. 3, 1903. The work was done under the supervision of the late Senator Hoar of Massachu- setts, then chairman of the Judiciary Committee. From 4 to 7 persons were employed upon it for about 3 years. They did not make an original index, but consolidated the volume indexes in the volumes of the Statutes at large. When completed it made 4 v. of over 1100 pages each. It was published in 190G, but the edition was limited to 25 copies, for the use of the Judiciary Committee. These were distributed as follows: 13 sets to the 13 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee; 1 set to the Committee as a body; 1 to the Senate library; 1 to the Senate document room; 1 to the Secretary of the Senate; 1 to the Senate Chamber; 1 to the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia ; 1 to the Senate Committee on Appi'opriations ; 1 to the House Committee on Appropriations; 1 to the House Committee on the Judiciary; 1 to the Clerk of the House; 1 to the Attorney-General; 1 to the Secretary of State — 25 in all. No appropriation has been granted for printing additional copies, and none has been printed. It will be seen, therefore, that this index is not obtainable. The Scott-Beaman Index analysis, issued under direction of the Librarian of Congress, is an original index classified by subjects. Volume 1, the only one thus far issued, indexes the Revised statutes of 1873 and the general and permanent laws found in the Statutes at large, 1873-1907. Volume 2, which will index the private, local, and temporary laws, will not be issued until at least two years hence. It is thought there may be 3 or 4 v. in all. AN ERROR OF THE PRESS In the " up-number " part of the edition of House document 326, 59th Congress, 2d session, that is, the part sent up to the Capitol in 184 November, 1908 paper covers for the immediate use of Senators and Representatives, an unfortunate error occurred. It is in page 9, where the last line of the 3d paragraph reads: "zens. (The American passport, p. 77.)" The correct version is : "been a citizen for nine years. (Art. 1, sec. 3.)" The document is the important Report on citizenship, expatriation, and protection abroad, made by a commission of which James B. Scott, David J. Hill, and Gaillard Hunt were the members. As the error made nonsense of an important citation, its discovery in time to make the correction in the reserve edition which goes to the libraries for permanent preservation is fortunate.
