J Document not obtainable. Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. 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 num- bers of Senate and House documents and reports, 62d Congress, 1st session, is to be understood. 2 General Information The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for. Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Super- intendent of Documents, Wasiiington, D. C, are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (tj indicates that appli- cation should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document, a double dagger (J) indicates that the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions and, unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members of Congress. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents give the name of the issuing Department, Bureau, or Division, and title. If publication is numbered give number also. Do not order by Library of Congress card number. Read carefully the instructions "How to remit," found at the bottom of the next page. The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to over a million, of which several hundred thousand are assorted, forming the sales stock. Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold "at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. In ordering, it should be borne in mind that many of the books have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In filling orders, however, the best copy available is sent. No general price-list of public documents is available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application. MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Dele- gate, and officer in Congress, to designated depositories and State and Territorial libraries, to substantially all Government authors, and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the limited edition will supply. Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year, including indices. Back numbers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change in address. 3 4 July, 1911 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARDS Numbers to be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be found at the end of the titles of the more important monographic docu- ments. The figure following the card number (separated from it by a slanting line) indicates the number of cards required for entries sug- gested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and ,\,c. for each additional card for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances should be made to the Librarian of Congress. Cards can not be furnished by the Superin- tendent of Documents. CUMULATIVE INDEX The Index to the ^lonthly catalogue will be issued separately each quarter and will cumulate for the twelve months ending June, 1912. That is, the September number of the Index will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for July, August, and September, the December number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for October to Decem- ber, the March number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for January to March, and the June number will be the Index for the fiscal year 1912. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at the end of the year should be careful to retain the numbers received monthly, as duplicate numbers can not be supplied. HOW TO REMIT Remittances for the documents marked with a star (*) should be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, by postal money order, express order, or New York draft. Currency may be sent at sender's risk. Postage stamps, foreign money, defaced or smooth coins icill positively not he accepted.

Coupons of the value of 5 cents each are sold in sets of 20 for $1.00. Address order to Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office. No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points in United States, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, or to Canada, Cuba, or Mexico. To other countries the regular rate of postage is charged, and remittances must cover such postage. Notes of General Interest Senate document 645, 61st Congress, 2d session, Report on condition of woman and child wage earners in the United States, is still making its way through the press. From the fact that vol. 8, Juvenile delin- quency and its relation to employment, was published during June, and vol. 7, Conditions under which children leave school to go to work, is a July publication, it might be inferred that the publication is proceeding backward, which of course is not the case. In the preparation of such an extensive series (19 vols.), all the material being drawn from origi- nal sources, it is the rule rather than the exception that various happen- ings prevent the appearance of the volumes in unbroken numerical sequence as planned. Labor Bureau Bulletin 93, the latest issue in this_ series, besides the usual summaries of information, considers in detail two subjects of unusual interest, namely: WTiolesale prices, 1890 to 1910, and Cost of living in Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium, and the United States. The Hagerstown loam, the 7th number in the series entitled Soils of the eastern United States and their use, has been published as Soils Bureau Circular 29. The Hagerstown loam is disintegrated blue lime- stone and "easily holds high rank among the most fertile soils in the eastern part of the United States." It is found in the great valley extending from eastern Pennsylvania across central Maryland and through western Virginia into Tennessee, Kentucky, and northern Ala- bama, called the Cumberland valley in Pennsylvania, the Hagerstown valley in Maryland, and the Shenandoah valley in Virginia. Other num- bers in this series which have been issued are: 9. The Miami clay loam (Ch-cular 31); 10. The Marshall silt loam (Circular 32); 11. The Knox silt loam (Circular 33); 12. The Carrington loam (Circular 34). Others will follow. Five cents each from the Superintendent of Documents. A Yearbook paper, entitled The eradication of cattle tuberculosis in the District of Columbia, has been separately issued in a 5 cent pamphlet. It does not claim that cattle tuberculosis has been absolutely extirpated in the District, but that such very marked progress has been made toward extirpation as to ensure success and to afford a valuable object lesson to other communities which may wish to ensure the purity of their milk supply. The method pursued was the tuberculin test and the slaughter of all "reactors," reactors being those cows which reacted to the tuber- culin test and thus revealed their tuberculous condition. Autopsies on the "reactors" demonstrated the reliability of the tuberculin test. Vol. 39, Land decisions, is out of press and on sale at $1.75 a copy in buckram binding. The page following the title-page carries this legend: "This publication (volumes 1 to 39 and Digest covering volumes 1 to 30, inclusive), is held for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Office of the Public Printer, Washington, D. C, to whom all correspondence relating thereto should be addressed." 5 6 July, 1911 Upton's Military policy of the United States has been again reprinted. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 65 cents a copy in durable cloth binding. Farmers' bulletin 456, with the title Our grosbeaks and their value to agriculture, gives reasons why farmers should protect the grosbeaks instead of killing them. Our grosbeaks are finches and finches are little birds which eat a few peas and a few fruits and a great many noxious weed seeds and more noxious insect pests. Education Bureau Bulletin 2, series of 1911, Opportunities for graduate study in agriculture in the United States, is a list of the various American colleges and universities which offer to graduate students courses in various studies related to modern agriculture. The scope and charac- ter of different courses are described. The entrance conditions are the equivalent of a 4-year high-school course. The information brought together in the pamphlet will interest a large number of persons, the tendency toward advanced agricultural study being now great and growing. The report of the commissioner of corporations on the steel industry has been summarized. Part 1 of the summary, describing the organiza- tion, investment, profits, and position of the United States Steel Corpora- tion, can be supplied for 10 cents a copy. The Interior Department has made a 15-page list of the magazine arti- cles relating to the national parks, reservations, and monuments. The list has several hundred entries, and is believed to be substantially com- plete to the end of the year 1910. Second-class mail matter, its uses and abuses, is the title of an address by third assistant Postmaster-General Britt, now published in a pamphlet. Besides the discussion of 2d-class mail problems, the statements are incidentally made that the employees of the Post-Office Department number more than 300,000, that its annual mail transportation aggregates 965,000,000 miles, and that it is the largest business establishment in the world . The 1910 annual report of the chief of ordnance, U. S. A., published in November last in paper covers and without appendix or index, is now out in red cloth with appendix and index all complete. Tests of metals, 1910, is a modest volume of 254 pages, now ready for sale at 45 cents in cloth. The corresponding issue for 1909 appeared in April, 1911, in 3 large volumes. Vol. 10, reports, appendix, and index, completing the publication of the proceedings before the Interstate Commerce Commission in the matter of the proposed advance of railroad freight rates, has now been published. The Commission refused its assent to the proposed advances. The Interstate Commerce Commission has issued in an oblong pamphlet a series of plates illustrating *he standards for railroad safety appliances which the Commission has established. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 10 cents. Translocation of plant food and elaboration of organic plant material in wheat seedlings is the title of Chemistry Bureau Bulletin 138, which has the additional distinction of being the first public document to be illustrated by graphs, of which it has two. July, 1911 7 TJie Indian Affairs Ollico lia.s published a handy leaflet of information concerning Indian lands for sale under Government supervision. There are many such lands now offered on Indian reservations in California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, thus giving a wide range for selection. The]910annualreportof the Life-Saving Service brings to light a new peril of the waters. Of 1,046 vessels involved in disasters of various kinds, 650, or 62 per cent, were gasoline motor boats, and of the 3,013 persons brought in danger, 2,188, or 73 per cent, were on motor boats. The oflicial title of the case popularly known as the Cunningham coal claims in Alaska it appears is The United States v. Andrew A. Scofield ct al., and under this title has been published a pamphlet containing the decision of Commissioner Dennett, the letter of Secretary Fisher, and the correspondence of the Secretary with E. C. Hughes. Water-supply paper 274, Some stream waters of the western United States, presents the results of chemical analyses of numerous waters which are likely to be utilized on the Government's irrigation projects. 15 cents. Hydrographic Oflice publication 87 is the International code of signals, issued biennially. The 1911 edition, which is bound in buckram and sold by the Superintendent of Documents at $1.20, contains colored prints of the flags of the principal maritime nations and a variety of information essential to nautical men. The librarian is coming into recognition as an important official and one to be reckoned with even by high dignitaries. House document 68, (52d Congress, ordered printed June 12, 1911, is a letter from the Acting Secretary of War, transmitting to Congress the report of Lieut. -Col. H. C. Scott, recommending the destruction of an extensive lot of accounts and other documents connected with the military occupation of Cuba by the United States, which the officer declared to have neither official nor historical value, an estimate confirmed by several indorsements from general officers. House document 92, of the same Congress, ordered printed just one month later (July 12), is another letter from the Acting Secretary of War, in which he states that the Librarian of ( 'ongress thinks the documents in question are historically valuable, whereupon the Acting Secretary withdraws his recommendation for their destruction. Farmers' bulletin 454 tells one of the best stories of farm manage- ment and farm success that have been told in many a day. The title is A successful New York farm. 5 cents. Manufactures Bureau's Miscellaneous series no. 6 is called Promotion of commerce. It is an outline of the service maintained by the Manu- factures Bureau and other bureaus and offices of the Govenmient of the United States which aid in the promotion of commerce. The work of the Superintendent of Documents is favorably mentioned. The address of the Attorney-General on New States and constitutions, at the Yale Law School, June 19, has been published as Senate docu- ment 62, 62d Congress. The President's address on Reciprocity, at Indianapolis July 4, has been published as Senate document 63, 62d Congress. 8 July, 1911 There is a new 10 cent pamphlet compilation, Laws relating to the reclamation of arid lands by the United States. American nautical almanac for 1913 is out. 30 cents. The General Land Office has issued a pamphlet of inforniafion con- cerning the opening of the Fort Berthold and Rosebud Indian reserva- tions to settlement May 1, 1912. The first named is in Nortli Dakota and the second in South Dakota. An additional list of references on the taxation of incomes has been published by the Library of Congress. 20 cents. Class L, Education, in the library classification of the Library of Congress, has been printed in large octavo size, 160 pages. Sold by the Superintendent of Docurnents at 25 cents. Arizona is a Territory in which irrigation is extensively practiced by the Government and by private enterprise. Experiment Stations Office Bulletin 235 tells about it. 20 cents. The Census Bureau's final revised announcement of the population of cities shows that this opulent and thrice-blessed country has 3 cities of more than a million inhabitants; 19 cities numbering more than 250,000; 50 of over 100,000, and 178 of between 25,000 and 100,000; altogether, 247 cities exceeding 25,000 in number of residents. For a Government which had at its beginning but one city of such dimen- sions, this is doing reasonably well. Daily river stages at river gage stations on the princii^al rivers of the L'nited States, part 10, for the years 1909 and 1910, is a substantial quarto, published by the Weather Bureau and priced at $4.75 a copy. It is but one of many Government publications embodying the results of scientific study of the quantity, quality, location, etc., of our most valuable mineral resource, water. This publication was listed in the Monthly catalogue for Jime, page 678. COMMERCE COURT DECISIONS The Commerce Court, composed of five circuit judges, was created by act of Congress approved June 18, 1910. It considers appeals from the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and its decisions are therefore of importance to transportation interests and olher busi- ness interests. While the Court has been organized and hearing cases for some time, the official publication of its decisions has only recently begun. Nos. 1, 2, 5, 6, and 9 have been printed separately in pamphlet form, docu- ment octavo size, without cover, similar to the advance sheets of the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission. As but a limited distribution will be made by the Court, the general public must depend for its supply on the Superintendent of Documents, who will print editions for sale. As little is yet known of the number, size, and periods of publication of these decisions, it is not possible at present to fix a definite price for them. As a temporary expeilient, the name of any person or firm remitting $1.00 will be placed on the mailing list to receive these decisions. When a more definite arrangement becomes practicable further announcement Avill be made. July, 1911 * 9 THE CROP REPORTER AND THE CROP REPORTS The monthly newspaper published by the Statistics Bureau, Agricul- ture Department, under the title Crop reporter, is trye to its title, being given up altogether to the publication of the crop reports of this and foreign countries. It was begun May, 1900, as a quarto of four pages. At the beginning of its 2d year. May, 1900, the number of pages was increased to eight. This size has been continued to the present time, and it can not conveniently be increased. The volume of reports, however, insists on increasing, and has at last caused the Crop reporter to overflow. The overflow is being taken up in circulars of the Statistics Bureau. Circular 19 carries the foreign crop reports for May, 1911, and circular 20 carries the reports of the same class for June. In previous years these reports have been printed in the Crop reporter. Statistics Bureau Circular 21, which at the time of writing is in press, will give the foreign crop reports for July, and circular 22 will carry the tobacco crop reports for the same month. The Novem- ber tobacco report will also be printed as a circular. The cotton reports for the current crop season will, as heretofore, be published in the Crop reporter. OBJECT LESSONS IN SANITATION The chief of the Government organizations for the protection and pro- motion of health is tlie Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service of the Treasury Department. This Service has issued numerous pamphlets on- topics relating to diseases and their prevention which have been widely distributed through sale by the Superintendent of Documents and otherwise. The Service has now issued a new form of publication, appealing to the eye as well as to the mind. It is a set of large-scale charts, nine in number, mounted on strong cloth, with rollers and hangers, ready for immediate use. The nine charts are combined in one group, and arranged to turn over and over, so that one after another may be shown to an audience or class. These charts are not maps. They are pic- tures — graphic representations of objects which have been much written about of late in publications relating to sanitation. The charts have various titles: Nos. 1, 2, Soil pollution; 3-7, Hookworms; 8, Hookworm patients; 9, Sanitary toilets. These charts, thus thoroughly mounted and made sufficiently durable for years of use, are sold by the Superintendent of Documents at $3.00 for the set. STATUTES AT LARGE Vol. 36, laws of the Gist Congress, has been published in two unusually large ])arts, aggregating more than 3,500 pages. The books are, as usual, bound in full law sheep. Part 1, Public laws, is priced at |2.75, and Part 2 at §3.25. 4210— No. 199- 11 -2 10 July, 1911 RECIPROCITY The act providing for a reciprocal exchange of commodities with Canada at reduced duties or no duties at all, which was approved by the President July 26, 1911, has been published in pamphlet form as Public no. 3 and is sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 5 cents. The act has not yet been passed by the Canadian Parliament and therefore has not become effective. The Parliament has been dissolved and a new election called, in which the Ministry will endeavor to secure a majority favorable to reciprocity. BUREAU DISCONTIN'UED The Bureau of Statistics and Accounts, Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, has been discontinued since its chief, Mr. Henry C. Adams, has left the service of the Commission. The work formerly done by the Bureau is now divided between the Division of Statistics and the Divi- sion of Carriers' Accounts. The first document jjublished by the new Division of .Statistics is Bulletin of the revenues and expenses of steam roads in the United States for the month of April, 1911, being number 28 in that series. All publi- cations emanating from either of the divisions will be entered in the Monthly catalogue under Interstate Commerce Commission. THE INDIAN HANDBOOKS Ethnology Bureau Bulletin 40, Handbook of American Indian lan- guages, of which thus far only part 1 has been issued, will have several other parts, three or four at least, and will be several years in course of composition and publication. It is to be said, however, that the parts are not interdependent. Each one discusses a group of languages, and so far as those languages are concerned is complete and not dependent on the other parts. Part 1 is on sale by the Superintendent of Documents at $1.25 cloth bound. Ethnology Bureau Bulletin 30, Handbook of American Indians north of Mexico, was recently complete in two parts, but has been made incom- plete again by the supply of part 1 giving out under the increased demand which sprang up as soon as part 2 was issued. A new print of part 1, in which a few corrections will be made, has now been ordered. It may be a month before the complete work can again be supplied. NEW EDITIONS, ADVANCE SHEETS, BOUND VOLUMES The Gist Congress, 3d session, ordered a new revised edition of the Government Report on diseases of the horse, 100,000 copies, and a like edition of the Government Report on diseases of cattle. The new horse book is in press, but the manuscript for the cattle book has not yet been sent to the Public Printer. There will be two volumes of Treasury decisions this year, January- June and July-Decoml)or. The weekh- pamphlet decisions for the first July, 1911 11 half of the year have all been sent to subscribers, but the index has not yet been printed nor the permanent volume bound. The pamphlets of vol. 21 (for the last half of 1911) are now going out. Volume 20, Interstate Commerce Commission reports, is relatively in the same condition as vol. 20, Treasury decisions. DATES or ISSUE OF THE MONTHLY CATALOGUE The Governing Council of the American Library Association, in session at Pasadena, Cal., May 23, 1911, adopted a resolution urging the Super- intendent of Documents to publish "if possible" a daily or weekly checklist of public documents, so that librarians might be sooner informed than by the Monthly catalogue concerning the actual status of documents which they see mentioned in the daily papers. Under date of June 28, 1911, the Secretary of the Association, Mr. George B. Utley, sent to the Superintendent of Documents official information of the jDassage of the resolution. July 6, 1911, Mr. Utley was officially informed of the reasons why the issue of the proposed new daily or weekly periodical is not possible. As it is likely that this information may not reach all interested librari- ans, a few further words on the general subject it is hoped will not be thought out of place. In a preamble to the A. L. A. resolution of May 23 it is stated that the Monthly catalogue "is not published until several weeks after the period covered by each issue." "Several" is an indefi- nite term. Two might be considered "several." The statement there- fore may be accepted as literally correct, though its implication, that the catalogue is many weeks behind date, is not correct. The Monthly catalogue is required to show what documents have been published during a month. Evidently, therefore, its compilation can not be com- pleted until after the close of the month. The compilation is always completed within three or four days after the mouth closes. Sometimes the printing does not follow as quickly as one would like. This may seem strange to librarians, to whom the Monthly catalogue is perhaps the most important of all the public documents. If, however, they were in Washington they would soon realize that there are several other Govern- ment concerns, and some of them bigger and more exacting than the Documents Office. There is one known as the Congress of the United States which calls for thousands of pages of printing where the Documents Office calls for one, and which, when it calls for the right of way in the Government Printing Office (or anywhere else), is able to get it. The printing of the Superintendent of Documents receives every considera- tion in the Government Printing Office which it is possible to give, but it can not command the right of way over Congress, President, and Cabinet. It has been a long time since the Monthly catalogue has failed to be mailed during the month following its date, often by the middle of the month. It is to be noted, also, that its information is quite different from that of "press notices." It enters only documents that have been actually received, and its descriptions are minute and accurate. In its 12 July, 1911 yreliininary ])agep it p;ivcs such advance information of forthcoming docnnients as can be officially secured and vouched for. There is a habit in some Government offices of giving the newspaper reporters information of proposed publications before the copy is ready for the printer, and sometimes before pen has been put to paper. Plans thus prematurely announced are subject to change and the advance notice may thus mislead the reader. Readers of the Monthly catalogue are not thus misled. The Superintendent of Documents is confident that those librarians who keep well informed recognize his purpose to do everything for the great library interest of the country that the limitations of the law and the Executive pressure upon his and other administrative offices for economy make possible. Monthly Catalogue No. 199 JULY 1911 AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT Note. — Those publications of the Department of Agriculture which are for sale will be supplied by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. The De- partment issues a monthly list of publications, whicli is mailed to all applicants, enabling them to select such reports and bulletins as mterest them.

No sets of these are for sale or distribution, as most of the volumes 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 hbraries throughout the world, and only a limited number of the volumes remains to supply demands from other sources. No general mailing-list of individuals is maintained. The reports can be liad by purchase from the Superintendent of Docmnents, Wash- ington, D. C. The papers printed in the annual reports are published separately for free distribution. Publications should be ordered by the serial number. Remit- tances should be made payable to ' Smitlisonian Institution.' An application from a library should state the number of volumes in the library and the date of establish- ment, 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.

SPEECHES WITHHELD FOR KEVISION On August 4, Rule 7, relating to the publication of "deferred speeches" in the daily Congressional record, was changed to require that the Senate proceedings be printed first in order, the House proceedings second, and the deferred speeches, or speeches withheld for revision, last. This is a salutary change. For many years it had been the custom to give the right of way to speeches which had not been printed in regular order in the proceedings of the day when they were delivered, or, if not delivered, when permission to print them was granted by the House or Senate. When the orators were ready to have their speeches printed, first place was given them in the daily Record, crowding the current pro- ceedings back to the rear part of the publication . Sometimes the speeches were many and long, making the reports of the proceedings appear remote and obscure in comparison. Evidently this was bad form, and it is in accord with good publishing practice that it has been amended. There were aLso various rumors of rivalry among the orators for the conspicuous place on the front page. Now that there isn't any front page for speeches, one cause of contention has been happily removed. In the bound volumes of the permanent edition of the Congressional record the speeches which, because of their being withheld for revision, have been printed out of their regular order in the daily Record are restored to their proper places in the proceedings. The only exception to this rule is the few speeches which are withheld so long that they are not printed at all in the daily Record and are not received in time to find a place in the bound volumes of the permanent edition. For these speeches it is sometimes necessary to publish an Appendix. HOW ERRORS GET INTO THE DOCUMENT INDEX Vol. 1, Annual report of the American Historical Association for the year 1908, was issued early in August, 1910, in its usual form and with perhaps something more than its usual store of historical papers. On its title-page it carried the customary legend, "In two volumes. Vol. I." Everything was very simple, correct, and familiar. By the time vol. 2 came along in August, 1911, complications had arisen. For several years the 2d volume of the Historical Association report has been given up to the reports of the Historical Manuscripts Commission. The 8th report of this commission is a collection of the diplomatic correspondence of the Republic of Texas, edited by the late Professor Geo. P. Garrison of the University of Texas. Part 1 of this report was published as vol. 2 of the 1907 report of the Historical Associ- ation. It was expected that part 2 of the Texan diplomatic correspond- ence would be published as vol. 2 of the 1908 report, and so it has been, but with a difference. After contents and index had been made ready for printing it was discovered that the concluding part of the Texan cor- respondence was far too voluminous to be contained in one book, and it was therefore decided to publish vol. 2 of the 1908 Historical Association 70 August, 1911 report iii two parts or books, making it a 2- volume report in three books. The ordinary course would have been to divide the Texan correspondence into three parts, using the third part as the second volume of the 1909 Historical Association report. It was thought, however, that the index work, in which all of the Texan material was treated as belonging to the 1908 report, had progressed too far to permit of another arrangement. This explanation seems due to librarians, because of the fact that the Historical Association report has never before been published in more than two books, and also because of the unusual methods adopted for indicat- ing the division of vol. 2 into parts. On the title-page of the first part appears this somewhat complicated arrangement of volumes, parts, and titles: Annual report of the American Historical Association for the year 1908 In two volumes Vol. II (1) Diplomatic correspondence of the Republic of Texas Part II Washington Government Printing Office 1911 Not even a librarian would be likely to understand at first glance that the figure 1 inclosed in parentheses means that vol. 2 is in two parts, of which this is the first. The librarian will, however, by consulting the table of contents, discover that the instalment of the Texan correspond- ence fills 1591 pages, while vol. II (1) has but 807 pages, indicating that there must be another book to follow. Book 3 of the 1908 report has this for title-page: Annual report of the American Historical Association for the year 1908 In two volumes Vol. II (2) Diplomatic correspondence of the Republic of Texas Part III The unusual is always a little troublesome, no matter how simple it may appear when explained. This case, however, is not altogether simple. There is another print of the Historical Association report, which of course its compilers did not take into account in making the innovations just spoken of. This is the Congressional print, which bears a document number assigned in the Government Printing Office, though not by the Superintendent of Documents. In the Congressional print the Historical Association report for 1908 is House document 137 of the 61st Congress, 2d session. The Document index for that session has been compiled, printed, and dis- tributed by the Superintendent of Documents. It is a volume of 396 pages, compiled with great care and labor and some expense. It indexes alphabetically, by their titles, by the names of the Senators and Repre- sentatives presenting them, by the Committees reporting them, and also in their numerical order, the 4,311 documents and reports published by and for the session of Congress indicated. Those concerning which correct information was obtained are correctly indexed. These, of course, are nearly all of them. The American Historical Association report for August, 1911 71 1908 is a conspicuous exception. Though the final copy of the Index was not sent to the Public Printer till April, 1911, only vol. 1 of the 1908 report had then been received, and no hint that vol. 2 was for the first time to be split into parts had been whispered. Consequently the 1908 report was listed as House document 137, 2 parts, as vols. 124 and 125, and as serial numbers 5827 and 5828. If the Superintendent of Docu- ments had been fully informed, the listing would have been House document 137, 3 parts; vols. 124, 125, and 126; serial numbers 5827, 5828, and 5829. The indexes to the numbered Congressional documents are sent to some hundreds of public, scientific, and university libraries for their guidance in cataloguing, classifying, and shelving the public documents which the Government of the United States sends to them as gifts. So far as the Historical Association report for 1908 is concerned, it will prove a false guide. It is impossible now to supply to the libraries a pt. 3 of House document 137, or a vol. 126, or a serial number 5829. They must list and label vol. 125 twice — as 125, pt. 1, and 125, pt. 2, and serial num- ber 5828 as 5828, vol. 1, and 5828, vol. 2. These are awkward and inefficient notations, which the Documents Office never uses except, as in the present instance, upon dire compulsion. The Superintendent of Documents has of necessity so much to do with the public documents that to withhold information from him is dangerous, in the sense that it is likely to lead to annoyance and loss for many good and unoffending people who depend upon the Superintendent and his publications for their knowledge of Government documents. THREE MORE CORRECTIONS Let every librarian get her or his red pen and take down Statutes at large, v. 35, pt. 1, serial 4430, and the file of Consular reports for August, 1911. In the Statutes, turn to page 49, where, opposite the caption of Chap. 106, will be found the side note "H. R. 4922." This should be S. 4922. The chapter, before it became a law, was Senate bill 4922, not House bill. In serial 4430 (which is vol. 15, Senate documents, 57th Congress, 2d session) turn to document 209, page 93. There will be found a footnote citing House ex. doc. 25, 32d Cong. 2d sess. Change 2d session to 1st session. In Daily consular and trade reports, Aug. 29, 1911, page 942, in a list of new Government publications, is this entry: "Detection and deter- mination of small ciuantities of ethyl and methyl alcohol and of formic acid, 8 pages. Circular 180, Bureau of Chemistry." There is no cir- cular 180 of the Chemistry Bureau. The title given belongs to Circular 74 of that Bureau. ANOTHER INST.\NCE Something has been said elsewhere in this number of the awkward errors into which Document index, no. 16, was led through lack of infor- mation as to an unheralded innovation in the methods of publication of 8167— No. 200—11 3 72 August, 1911 a number of the annual Report of the American Historical Association. A similar but not identical instance is among the nicmth's document happenings. A bureau issued a multigraphed circular announcing a forthcoming serial publication. This circular was apparently rather widely distrib- uted. Among other things, it announced that under certain conditions the forthcoming publication would be supplied to applicants by the Superintendent of Documents. That olhcial, however, had not been consulted, nor did the Bureau in question think it worth while even to send him a copy of its circular announcement. Soon after the circulars were put in circulation the Superintendent of Documents began to receive letters asking for the new periodical. An- swers were promptly returned stating that the Government had not issued such a publication. Fortunately, before this had gone very far an applicant inclosed in his letter the circular announcement which the bureau had sent him. This was the first information received at this office as to the proposed new publication. The Superintendent of Documents is in touch with the document- buying public, a fact worth remembering when a new Government periodical is to be launched.

No sets of these are for sale or distribution, as most of the volumes 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 lil)raries throughout the world, and only a limited number of the volumes remains to supply demands from other sources. No general mailing-list of individuals is maintamed. The reports can be had by purchase from the Superintendent of Docmnents, Wash- ington, D. C. The papers printed in the annual reports are published separately for free distribution. Publications should be ordered by the serial number. Remit- tances should be made payable to 'Smithsonian Institution.' An application from a library should state the munber of volimies in the library and the date of estal>lish- ment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress."

Document not'obtainable. Explauation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. 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 num- bers of Senate and House documents and reports, 62d Congress, 1st session, is to be understood. 124 General Information The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost any- public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for. Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Super- intendent of Documents, Wasliington, D. C, are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (f) indicates that appli- cation should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document, a double dagger (J) indicates that the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions and, unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members of Congress. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents give the name of the issuing Department, Bureau, or Division, and title. If publication is numbered give number also. Do not order by Library of Congress card number. Read carefully the instructions "How to remit," found at the bottom of the next page. The accumulation of publications in this Ofiice amounts to over a million, of which several hundred thousand are assorted, forming the sales stock. Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold "at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. In ordering, it should be borne in mind that many of the books have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In filling orders, however, the best copy available is sent. No general price-list of public documents is available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application. MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Dele- gate, and officer in Congress, to designated depositories and State and Territorial libraries, to substantially all Government authors, and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the limited edition will supply. Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year, including indices. Back numbers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change in address. 125 I 26 September, 1911 LIBRARY OP CONGRESS CARDS Numbers to be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be found at the end of the titles of the more important monographic docu- ments. The figure following the card number (separated from it by a slanting line) indicates the number of cards required for entries sug- gested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and ^c. for each additional card for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances should be made to the Librarian of Congress. Cards can not be furnished by the Superin- tendent of Documents. CUMULATIVE INDEX The Index to the Monthly catalogue will be issued separately each quarter and will cumulate for the twelve months ending June, 1912. That is, the September number of the Index will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for July, August, and September, the December number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for October to Decem- ber, the March number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for January to March, and the June number will be the Index for the fiscal year 1912. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at the end of the year should be careful to retain the numbers received monthly, as duplicate numbers can not be supplied. HOW TO REMIT Remittances for the documents marked with a star (*) should be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, by postal money order, express order, or New York draft. Currency may be sent at sender's risk. Postage stamps, foreign money, defaced or smooth coins will positively not be accepted.

Notes of General Interest The present (2d) Isthmian Canal Commission has reprinted from the 1S99-1901 report of the first Isthmian Canal Commission the special report of Commissioner Emory R. Johnson on the' industrial and commercial value of the Isthmian canal. This report was written at the request of Professor Johnson's fellow members of the Commission and was published as Appendix NN of the 1899- 1901 report. The original plates were used in making the reprint, and copies in paper covers can be supplied by the Superintendent of Documents at 20 cents. The author is professor of transportation and commerce in the University of Pennsylvania. JNIiscellaneous series 6, Manufactures Bureau, which appeared in the July Monthly catalogue, page 21, is entitled Promotion of com- merce, outline of the service maintained by the Bureau of Manu- factures and other bureaus and offices of the Government of the United States. It points out the various ways in which the work of numerous Government oflices promotes commerce by supplying information, both technical and general. The extensive distribu- tion of public documents by the Superintendent of Documents has not been overlooked in this enumeration. The Bulletin of the Pan American Union has now become four monthly bulletins, one in the English language, one in Spanish, one in Portuguese, and one in French. At first there was one magazine in four languages; then there were two, one of them in English and the other in the three European languages spoken in some one or more of the Latin-American republics. The latest and present form is probably final. Each language having now its own magazine, it does not seem possible to do much more for them. There is of course some duplication in the four magazines, but there is suflicient variance in both text and illustrations to fully warrant the designation of each of the four as a distinct magazine. The Bulletin continues to be the most beautifully printed and illustrated magazine (or magazines) in the country. Sixty-second Congress, Senate document 98, is a reprint of Senate executive reports 1 and 2 of the same session. Executive reports are those made in the executive (secret) sessions of the Senate. They do not reach the public unless they are ordered reprinted in the regular numbered series of documents, as is the case in this instance. The two reprinted reports are those of the majority and minority of the Committee on Foreign Relations on the peace treaty negotiated during the present year with Great Britain by which the 127 128 September, 1911 scope of arbitration is enlarged beyond any prior international agreement. The majority report, opposing ratification, was pre- sented by Senator Lodge, and the minority report, favoring ratifi- cation, was presented by Senator Root with the concurrence of Sen- ators Cullom and Burton. Senator Burton also made a supple- mental report which is included in the document. There are also Appendixes A, B, and C, giving the text of the treaty under discus- sion and of two prior arbitration treaties, 40 pages altogether. There are two prints of Senate document 98, the first one not having the views of the minority. Senate document 98 is listed in the August Monthly catalogue, page 97. Ethnology Bureau Bulletin 43, Indian tribes of the lower Missis- sippi Valley and the adjacent coast of the Gulf of Mexico, is priced at 80 cents in cloth covers. It has many illustrations. The Appointments Bureau of the State Department issues three series of publications, entitled respectively Information regarding appointments and promotions in the consular service of the United States; Information regarding appointments and promotions in the diplomatic service of the United States ; Information regarding appointments and promotions in the student-interpreter corps of the United States in China, Japan, and Turkey. Three editions have been issued thus far for the consular service and two each for the diplomatic service and the student-interpreter corps. House resolution 285, providing for printing 5000 copies of the Judiciary chapter of the new revision of the Revised statutes, and House resolution 286, providing for printing 5000 copies of the Penal code, which is another part of the new revision, were both agreed to in the closing days of the recent Congressional session. The reprints are in slip-law form — uncovered pamphlets. The Penal code is Public 350, 60th Congress, 2d session, and the Judiciary chapter is Public 475, 61st Congress, 3d session. These are the only published fruits thus far of the revision which was begun by a com- mission in 1897 and was turned over by the commission to Congress in December, 1906. Carlisle and the red men of other days is the title of a pamphlet, handsome t5'pographically and interesting historically, from the press of the Government Indian School at Carlisle, Pa., where the work is all done by red men of the present day. Among the valuable "separates" just now being reprinted from the Annual report of the Office of Experiment Stations, Agriculture Department, is one called The results of agricultural extension in Belgium, which embodies lessons of much value to American agri- cultural communities. Other separates from the same volume describe the Irrigation investigations and the Drainage investiga- tions of the Office for 1910. The three at 5 cents each. The Commerce Court has published its first docket, for the October session, 1911. Senators -Sutherland and Chamberlain, Representatives Brantley and Moon. President BI•o\^^l of the New York Central Railroad, and September, 1911 129 Editor Cease of the Railway trainman are the members of the Em- ployers' Liability and Workmen's Compensation Commission. The hearings they have held and the briefs which have been filed with them have been printed as Senate document 90, 62d Congress, 1st session, in two volumes. Senate document 77, 62d Congress, 1st session, Chugach national forest lands in Alaska, is President Taft's message transmitting to the Senate information relating to the Controller Bay lands and re- futing sundry attacks which have been made concerning the course of the Administration. This was noted in the August Monthly cata- logue, page 112. A new publication which must be of permanent value as a refer- ence work for lawyers is a Digest of the opinions and briefs of the Solicitor of the Treasury for thirty years, 1880-1910. The Annual report of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Sta- tions, a pamphlet of 85 pages and 13 plates, can be supplied for 15 cents. The plates indicate almost tropical luxuriance among the glaciers. The Library of Congress list of references on wool, concerning which a descriptive note was printed in the August Monthly cata- logue, is now on sale by the Superintendent of Documents at 20 cents. Public Roads Office Bulletin 39, Highway bridges and culverts, is a practical treatise for which a wide demand may be safely pre- dicted. Hygienic Laboratory Bulletin 77 has the general title. Sewage pollution of interstate and international waters, with special refer- ence to the spread of typhoid fever. Part 1 considers the waters of Lake Erie and the Niagara River. Animal Industry Bureau Bulletin 141 has for title The improve- ment of the farm egg. Of course the farm egg is a hen's egg, but the conclusion that the purpose of the bulletin is to teach farm hens to lay better eggs would be far-fetched. The instructions are to farmers and egg-buyers on the care of eggs, so that they may not be injured. The instructions are practical and enforced by illustra- tions and examples. Paper, 10 cents. The Government Hospital for the Insane, located in the District of Columbia, has issued no. 3 in its bulletin series. The new number contains 14 papers on themes related to the work of the Hospital, illustrated by 15 plates and 9 figures. It contains also a bibliography of the published work of members of the Hospital Staff. Chemistry Bureau Bulletin 141 is entitled Experiments on process- ing of persimmons to render them nonastringent. If modern chem- ists can take the astringency out of a green persimmon no other problem should daunt them. Price, 10 cents. The 1911 edition of Infantry drill regulations is now on sale, fabricoid, 35 cents. It contains important changes in the Manual of arms which take effect at once. 130 September, 1911 The report of the coiuuiissioner of corporations on the system of (axUij^ corporations in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wis- consin, being Part 3 of the general report on Taxation of corpora- tions, is now on sale at 35 cents in paper. Chemistry Bnreau Bulletin 134, Maple-sap sirup, first issued Oc- tober 28, 1910, has now been reprinted. The demand for the first eflition soon outran the supply, an experience which is likely to be repeated with the second edition. Paper, 25 cents. New bulletins of the Education Bureau, series of 1911, are: No. 3, Agencies for the improvement of teachers in service (15 cents) ; no. 5, Age and grade census of schools and colleges, a study of retardation and elimination (10 cents) ; no. 10, Bibliography of education, July 1, 1909-June 30, 1910 (15 cents) ; no. 11, Bibliog- raphy of child study, 1908-09 (10 cents). Advance announcements have been made of two important mono- graphs of the Geological Survey. Vol. 51, Cambrian Brachiopoda, by Dr. Charles D. Walcott, will be bound in two volumes, one of text and one of plates. Vol. 52, The geology of the Lake Superior region, by President Van Hise and Professor Leith of the University of Wisconsin, will have 641 pages, 49 plates, and 76 text figures, and will be sold at $2.50. The Survey edition of the monographs is issued in cloth. The monographs have also Congressional editions. Vol. 51 is House document 119, in 2 parts, forming vol. 53, parts 1 and 2, in the set of House documents. Vol. 52 is House document 114, and vol. 54 of the House document set. All of the 61st Congress, 2d session. Professional paper 70, United States Geological Survey, The Mount McKinley region, Alaska, has for subject the highest moun- tain in United States territory, and for that and other reasons is of unusual interest. The sale price is 70 cents in paper covers, this being the only form in which this important series of geological publications is issued for distribution. This was listed in the August Monthly catalogue page 102. In the July, 1910, Monthly catalogue of public documents three " separates " from Labor Bureau Bulletin 88 were listed. Recently the Publications Division, Commerce and Labor Department, when compiling a list of the Department's publications, discovered these entries. As the Division knew that it had never ordered the publica- tion of any separates from a Labor Bureau Bulletin, and as it was confident that nobody else had any right to order them, inquiry of course followed. It even went so far as to point the finger of sus- picion at the Superintendent of Documents, who never prints any- thing outside of his own lawful field. Finally it was ascertained that the separate prints of the chapters in question had been ordered by a Senate committee which had a sweeping authorization to print anything it liked relating to the subject it was investigating. The three separates will not be included in the forthcoming list of publi- cations of the Commerce and Labor Department. I September, 1911 131 WORKINGMKN IN EUROPE The second volume of the Annual report of the commissioner of labor for 1909 has been issued, completing a comprehensive study of workmen's insurance and compensation systems in Europe. The first volume described conditions in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, and Germany and was listed in the February Monthly cata- logue, page 406. The volume now issued relates to Great Britain, Italy, Norway, Russia, Spain, and Sweden. These large volumes can be supplied as follows: Vol. 1. in paper covers, $1,00. in cloth binding, $1,10. Vol. 2, In cloth only, $1.00. Some of the European countries are well in advance of America along these important lines. NEW SERIES The Standards Bureau has issued the first of a series of Techno- logic papers. Those who may receive it should disregard the words •' Vol. 1, No. 1 " in fine type in the running headlines over the pages. When these words were used it was the intention to make a set of rolumes, but it is now the purpose to issue the Technologic papers under numbers only. No. 1, The effect of preliminary heating treat- ment upon the drying of clays, is a reprint from the Bulletin, vol. 7, no. 2, issued also as Bulletin separate reprint 151, incorrectly num- bered 152, but the later numbers will be original papers. Hardly any other Government bureau is so fertile in new series of publications as the Interstate Commerce Commission. One of the latest, having on its cover the words " First issue, effective on Jan. 1, 1912," is entitled Regulations to govern the issue and recording of passes of steam roads, as prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission in accordance with sec. 20 of the act to regulate com- merce. A MISSING NUMBER RESTORED The number 75 in the series of numbered bulletins of the Forest Service would in the ordinary course have been printed several years ago, no. 74 having been published in 1907 and no. 76 in 1909. But no. 75 was skipped and at one time was said to be abandoned altogether. It has now turned up in good form, the title being California tanbark oak. It is in three parts, and its chief purpose is to pro- mote the utilization of the wood as well as the bark of this tree. Tests have shown that the wood is as valuable as that of the eastern oaks. ANTI-TRUST DECISIONS The new edition of Federal anti-trust decisions, authorized by Congress at its latest session, to be compiled by the Justice Depart- ment, it is now ascertained will be published in five volumes. It will include the material contained in the two volumes of Finch's Anti-trust decisions, 1890-1906, and that which has since accumulated. 10933— No. 201—11 2 132 September, 1911 A FKVV CORRECTIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF LIBRARIANS In the List of its publications, 1867-1910, the Education Bureau says, on page 24, in bracltets, that its Circular of information 26, issued February, 1S72, Reports on the system of public instruction in Greece, is by John M. France. Mr. John Morgan Francis, editor of the Troy, N. Y., Times, was American Minister to Greece in 1S72, and beyond all reasonable doubt the author of the Reports in ques- tion. Mr. Francis died in 1897. In the Congressional record for August 15, 1911 (v. 47, no. 106, p. 4136), is reported the introduction of House resolution 285, pro- viding for the printing of 5,000 copies of public law no. 350, 60th Congress, 2d session, entitled "An act to codify, revise, and amend the criminal laws relating to the .iudiciary." It would be rather alarming if it were necessary to have a code of criminal laws relat- ing to the judiciary. But of course the title is erroneous. The correct title of public law 350, 60th, 2d, is "An act to codify, revise, and amend the penal laws of the United States." Nevertheless, the erroneous title was reproduced in House report 151, recommending the adoption of the resolution. Finally, however, the error was discovered, a corrected print of report 151 was made, and the proper correction was also made for the permanent bound edition of the Record. The error was caused by an accidental mixing of the titles of House resolutions 285 and 286. WASHINGTON'S WILL Sixty-second Congress, first session, Senate document 86, will surely be received in the libraries with interest, and probably with surprise, due to the claim of its title that it is " the only authenti- cated copy " of the last will and testament of George Washington. This claim presumably rests upon the fact that it contains a certificate of the clerk of the county court of Fairfax County, Vir- ginia, that this copy agrees with the manuscript copy in his office. A like claim is made, however, and no doubt with equal validity, for the pamphlet edition of the will published in Alexandria, Va., in the year 1800. During the same year — the next after Washington's death — editions were published in Philadelphia, New York, and London, and it was included in the pages of the Universal magazine for April, 1800. All of these prints are in the Toner collection in the Library of Congress. The will, with its schedule and notes, was also printed in Sparks's Writings of Washington, 1837, in Ford's Washington wills, 1891, and in Ford's Writings of Washington, 1899. Partial publication has been made in Irving's and other of the numerous lives of Washington. In short, the will is a much- published document, though no one can well say that it has been too much published, its value being beyond question and no more com- pletely characteristic Washingtonian document being known. Senate document 86 is, however, so far as discovered at this writing, the only Government print of it. This is a reprint of the second edition September, 1911 133 of a pamphlet unofficially published, first, in Washington, 1868, and second, in Wilmington, Del., 1876. It has been sent, as required by- law, to the nearly 500 designated depository libraries throughout the country, and in due course will go also to the foreign libraries and learned societies embraced in the Smithsonian Institution's system of international exchange. As there are shortcomings in the document which are likely to prove puzzling to libi-arians, it would seem that those hard-worked bibliophiles are justly entitled to a few words of explanation. Following is a complete transcript of the title-page of the pam- phlet of which Document 86 is a reproduction : " The only authenticated copy, full and complete, of the last will and testament of George Washington, of Mount Vernon, embracing a schedule of his real estate and explanatory notes thereto by the testator. To which is added important historical notes, biographical sketches and anecdotes. Second edition, by W. H. Newton." In the center of the page is a woodcut reproduction of the Stuart por- trait of Washington. It will be seen that the imprint gives neither date nor place of publication, and that the title-page of Document 86 copies faithfully the greater part of that of the old pamphlet, even to the singular verb "is," which should be "are." The order of the words, how- ever, is transposed and the portrait is omitted, this omission being more than supplied by the vignette on steel printed as a frontispiece. Another and more important omission is the name of the publisher, W. H. jVewton. Mr. Newton is not known to fame, except as the ostensible author of the notes which follow the will in his pam- phlet. That he should be robbed of credit for these — a credit which really belongs to his predecessor, the publisher of the first edition — is not so important as the fact that the omission of his name leaves the United States Government the responsible authority for the statement that this publication is the " only authenticated copy " of Washington's will. The omission also, by leaving the publication without a personal publisher, gives a touch of absurdity to the entry, " Notes by the publisher," found in the table of contents. Librarians will notice also in the table of contents " Preface to the first edition " and " Preface to the second edition," said to be on pages V and vi. These pages contain other matter, and the prefaces do not anywhere appear. They are neither in the old pamphlet nor the new. Apparently a leaf containing pages v and vi has been lost out of the old pamphlet, though this cannot be positively determined, because in that print the pages preceding the will itself have neither Roman nor Arabic pagination. The dedication which, with a rude and inaccurate woodcut copy of Washington's bookplate (not his coat of arms, as stated in the table of contents), occupies page iv, is in the 1876 pamphlet signed by W. H. Newton, but in Document 86 the signature is omitted, leaving the dedication without a parent. Another omission, most 134 September, 1911 Important of all, is that of the entire contents of the verso of the title-page, as follows : " Entered according to Act of Congress A. D. 1868 by A. Jackson, in the clerk's office of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. " Transfer of copyright entered in accordance with law in the year 1876. by Wm. H. Newton, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. " James & Webb, printers. Wilmington, Del." These facts as to the place of publication and the date of copy- right will be interesting and valuable to librarians, and taken in connection with Note 24^, found on page 66, they seem to indicate that this second edition of the old pamphlet was printed for some kind of use at the Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, 1876. Apparently no harm would have been done by permitting these facts to appear in the Government print, though the copyright is a sort of imposition. Nobody could copyright Washington's will. The only matters subject to copyright in the 1868 and 1876 pamphlets are the title-pages and the Notes supplied by the publishers, which are of but slight historical value. Those who feel sufficiently interested may examine, in the Library of Congress, the first edition of the will pamphlet. Its imprint is "A. Jackson, publisher, Washington. D. C, 1868," and its title, more modest than that of the second edition, is "Authenticated copy," etc., not " The only authenticated copy, full and complete." It was not until after the transfer of the copyright to Newton, in 1876, that such a claim was set up. The chief differences between the two editions are (1) that the first is dedicated to W. W. Corcoran of Washington, while the second (from which the Government reprint has been made) has a general dedication to all who cherish the memory of Washington; (2) that the first edition contains facsimile letters from Salmon P. Chase and Charles Sumner, commending the project of publishing the will : (3) that the first edition contains one of the missing prefaces which are listed, but not printed, in Senate document 86: (4) that the first edition has five paginations, making 64 pages in all. The Chase and Sumner letters do not appear in the second edi- tion, presumablj' because they are addi'essed to Mr. Jackson, who is completely eliminated by the new owner of the copyright, Mr. New- ton. Senator Sumner's letter shows that he accepted in full and without question Mr. Jackson's statement that until 1868 the Wash- ington will had not been published in full. In view of Mr. Sumner's reputation for scholarship, this is somewhat surprising. Mr. Jackson is clearly the author of the " Notes by the publisher " which appear in both the Jackson and the Newton editions and in the Government reprint. The only additions made in the 1876 edition to the Notes as they appear in the 1868 edition are nos. 19i, concern- ing Franklin's gold-headed cane, 22*, as to the whereabouts of Wash- ington's Bible, and 24A, relating to the exhibition of Washington's swords at the Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, 1876. The name September, 1911 135 of George Deneale, clerk of Fairfax County, correctly priuted four times in the first edition, is twice printed G Geueale in the second edition and in the Government reprint. Whatever omissions or errors occur in the Government print are also in the old pamphlet as supplied to the Government Printing Office. The instructions to the G<)vernment printers were to '• follow literally " the copy supplied to them, and they did so. ■ Recent information concerning the will is of considerable interest. It is still in the courthouse at Fairfax. It has been recently re- paired by Mr. William Berwick, the expert manuscript repairer of the Manuscripts Division, Library of Congress, and is now framed under glass, so that visitors may see it without harming it. At the time of making repairs three photographic copies were made, one of which is now in the Library of Congress. The Washington Lodge of Masons of Alexandria, Ya., of which Washington was once Worshipful Master, is planning the publication of a collection of Washington documents, and has obtained per- mission to have a facsimile of the will made for Inclusion therein.

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 promi- nent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are ordi- narily used, 1 : 62.500. 1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250,000. These correspond, approximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch, covering, respectively, average areas of 230,920, and 3.700 square miles. For some areas of particular importance special large-scale maps are pub- lished. 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 vary- ing with the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. More than one-third of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has been mapped, every State being represented. Massa- chusetts, 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.

Explanation^ Words and figures inclosed in brackets []are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. 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. TJsually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and session are not given with the num- bers of Senate and House documents and reports, 62d Congress, 1st session, is to be understood. 172 General Information The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for. Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Super- intendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (f) indicates that appli- cation should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document, a double dagger (J) indicates that the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions and, unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members of Congress. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents give the name of the issuing Department, Bureau, or Division, and title. If publication is numbered give number also. Do not order by Library of Congress card number. Read carefully the instructions "How to remit," found at the bottom of the next page. The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to over a million, of which several hundred thousand are assorted, forming the sales stock. Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold "at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. In ordering, it should be borne in mind that many of the books have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In filling orders, however, the best copy available is sent. No general price-list of public documents is available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application. MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Dele- gate, and officer in Congress, to designated depositories and State and Territorial libraries, to substantially all Government authors, and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the limited edition will supply. Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year, including indices. Back numbers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change in address. 173 174 October, 1911 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARDS Numbers tx) be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be found at the end of the titles of the more important monographic docu- ments. The figure following the card number (separated from it by a slanting line) indicates the number of cards required for entries sug- gested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and ^c. for each additional card for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances should be made to the Librarian of Congress. Cards can not be furnished by the Superin- tendent of Documents. CUMULATIVE INDEX The Index to the Monthly catalogue will be issued separately each quarter and will cumulate for the twelve months ending June, 1912. That is, the September number of the Index is an index to the Monthly catalogue for July, August, and September, the December number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for October to December, the March number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for January to March, and the June number will be the Index for the fiscal year 1912. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at the end of the year should be careful to retain the numbers received monthly, as duplicate numbers can not be supplied. HOW TO REMIT Remittances for the documents marked with a star (*) should be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, by postal money order, express order, or New York draft. Currency may be sent at sender's risk. Postage stamps, foreign money, defaced or smooth coins vdll positively not be accepted. To facilitate the payment of the cost of documents, th6 Super- intendent of Documents will hereafter accept coupons issued by him instead of cash. Coupons of the value of 5 cents each are sold in sets of 30 for $1.00. Address order to Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing OflSce. No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points in United States, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, or to Canada, Cuba, or Mexico. To other countries the regular rate of postage is charged, and remittances must cover such postage. Notes of General Interest Forest Service Bulletin 86, Windbreaks; their influence and value, is a document primarily for the prairie States. It advocates the planting of evergreens for windbreaking uses. Paper, 30 cents. Experiment Stations Office Bulletin 240, Tidal marshes and their recla- mation, discusses a large subject which must soon be of nation-wide interest. Drainage is the natural parallel of irrigation, it being quite as essential to reclaim the land which has too much water as that which has too little. The bulletin is sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 35 cents. The Red man, a magazine written and printed by red men at the Gov- ernment school for Indians at Carlisle, Pa., has been reviewing Ethnology Bureau Bulletin 30, Handbook of American Indians north of Mexico, and says of it: "It is the most complete record of matters pertaining to the Indians that has yet appeared. It is a splendid aid to those who are interested in the Indian and who need some authoritative source from which to gather information." The red man ought to know about this Indian book, and he does know. The two parts are now on sale by the Superintendent of Documents at $1.50 for each part. Plant Industry Bureau Circular 88, The picking and handling of pea- nuts, says: "The growth of the peanut industry in the United States during the last 15 or 20 years has been so great that few people recognize its importance." Another statement is that if the outer shell is not broken peanuts may be kept in storage indefinitely. Some of the machines now employed to pick peanuts break a good many shells, and because of this fact Circular 88 is issued, proposing improved plans. Forest Service Bulletin 99 is the second number in the series called Uses of the commercial woods of the United States. This number gives the history of the pines, of which this country has 37 varieties. The white pine, which for 250 years was the leading American wood, leading in the variety of its uses and the quantity consumed, is no longer the leader, though still important. Its history, as given in Bulletin 99, is a most interesting chapter in our economic annals. (15 cents.) The first number in this series was Forest Service Bulletin 95, Cedars, cypresses, and sequoias. (10 cents.) The Register of the Department of State, of which a new edition, dated Sept. 20, 1911, is just out of press, has an entertaining feature not found in any other Department register. It is a series of brief biographies of everybody connected with the Department, from the Secretary of State and the ambassadors to the laborers and messenger boys. Of coiKse there is much more in the State Department Register, including full lists of the ambassadors, ministers, consuls-general, consuls, and consular agents 175 176 October, 1911 who represent this country in foreign lands and of like officials who rep- resent foreign lands in this country. Fisheries Bureau document 752 maintains it has been demonstrated that fishes can hear, yet for reasons stated comes to the conclusion that explosive sounds, like those produced by motor boats, do not startle fishes. The firing of guns does startle them but only slightly and tem- porarily." Cavalry notes, by Major Henry T. Allen, is something more than a drill book. It gives reasons and comments. The interesting and hopeful address on Conservation of the soil, made by President Taft, Sept. 25, 1911, before the National Conservation Con- gress at Kansas City, Mo., has been printed by the Agriculture Depart- ment as Circular 38, Secretary's Office. Part 1 of the Report of the commissioner of corporations on the steel industry, which has been awaited with much interest, has now been issued. This part has for title Organization, investment, profits, and position of the United States Steel Corporation. There may be two other parts of this report, but some months will intervene before the appearance of the second part. Part 1 can be supplied at 50 cents. By act of June 7, 1906 (34 Stat., pt. 1, p. 218), the director of the census was authorized to collect decennially and publish as "special reports" statistics as to the defective, dependent, and delinquent classes, crimes, social statistics of cities, public indebtedness, religious bodies, transpor- tation (printed in the Statutes " transportion ") by water, express business, mines and quarries, savings banks, and fisheries, the latter to be made in cooperation with the Fisheries Bureau. The law also provides for five- year reports on other designated subjects. Fisheries of the United States, the second special report under the ten-year provision, has been received. It is a quarto of 324 pages, in the familiar dark-blue cloth and silvery aluminum lettering of the Census Bureau. Though of course a statistical work, the statistics are not wholly given in figure-tables. There is much text of an informing kind, including several appendices, one of which is an alphabetical list of the best-known common names of American fishes, with their sjTjonyms, and notes on qualities and habitat. The index is full and easy of use. The general conclusions are (1) a marked decline in the value of the whale and menhaden fisheries, (2) large gains in the gen- eral fisheries and the sponge fisheries, and (3) an increase in the oyster industry, though the results for 1908 were below the best record. There is an International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics. It has three American commissioners in its membership. Under their direction the American report has been made by Committee No. 10, on Undergraduate work in mathematics in colleges of liberal arts and imi- versities. It is in three parts, made by as many subcommittees, No. 1 on Men's colleges; No. 2 on Women's colleges; No. 3 on Coeducational colleges. All are published by the Education Bureau as Bulletin 7, aeries of 1911, and copies can be supplied by the Superintendent of Docu- ments at 5 cents. The United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which prints all of the paper money and postage stamps but none of the public documents, October, 1911 177 has grown to be a very great manufacturing plant. The 1911 annual report of Director Ralph shows that the employees number 3,814 and that the average production of engraved and printed sheets was 68,905 for each employee. Each of these sheets is made up of a number of banknotes, silver certificates, postage stamps, or other Government issues. As one hundred postage stamps go to a sheet and 97,734,242 sheets of this kind wer^ turned out, it is evident that the total issue of stamps of this variety for one year was 9,773,424,200 — almost ten billions. These are over- whelming figures, and give a vivid idea of the corresponding habit of our people. The turnout of notes, certificates, and bonds was in round numbers 67,000,000 sheets, of national bank notes 12,000,000 sheets, of internal-revenue stamps 84,000,000 sheets, of customs stamps 153,000 sheets, of checks, drafts, and miscellaneous 2,266,581 sheets, a grand total of 262,806,113 sheets, aggregating an untold number of billions of separate notes and stamps. It is a moral certainty that even these magnificent figures will be greatly increased in the future. The correspondence habit, the circularizing habit, and the paper-money habit are all firmly fixed in the minds and the practice of the American people. The average life of paper money is said to be only between two and three years. The Director of the Mint reports that nearly the whole gold production of the country goes into the Treasury, which now holds more than $1,200,000,000 in that metal, being the largest accumulation of the kind ever known. The people use the paper money issued against the metal, which remains inert in the vaults. This means that as the population increases more and more paper money must be printed. As for postage stamps, there seems to be no limit to the demand for them, and as they can be used but once, there must be a constant and constantly increasing supply. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is sure to grow much greater. It is to be hoped it will not outgrow its new building before the structure has been com- pleted. Interesting discussions of sanitation and related topics may be found in Transactions of the ninth annual Conference of State and Territorial Health Officers with the United States Public Health and Marine- Hospital Service. 10 cents. The movement of farming people toward the warm regions of the country will be aided by Soils Bureau Circular 43, The selection of land for general farming in the Gulf Coast region east of the Missis- sippi River. Readers who do not see the catalogues of ships' and crews' libraries published by the Navigation Bureau, Navy Department, may perhaps accept our assurance that the selections are excellently made and that the ships' companies of the United States Navy need not lack for instruc- tion and entertainment during such hours of leisure as their service leaves to them. The ships' libraries have a large proportion of text- books, the remainder being histories and biographies, with little or no fiction. The crews' libraries have a large proportion of high-class fiction. The second draft of former Senator Aldrich's Suggested plan for mone- tary legislation has been printed in a revised edition, dated Oct., 1911, and is on sale with the Superintendent of Documents at 5 cents. 178 October, 1911 A Geological Survey Bulletiu of much local interest to an important American city is no. 483, Economic geology of Richmond, Va., and vicinity. The annual report of the register of copyrights for 1911 shows that the copyright fees turned into the United States Treasury since the reorganization of the Copyright Office in 1897 have exceeded a million dollars, being $162,905.23 more than the total of the sums paid for sal- aries in the Office during the same period. In that time 2,582,170 books, maps, and prints which have been filed for copyright have become the property of the Government without cost. Biological Survey Bulletin 38, Birds of Arkansas, fills an important gap in our knowledge of the avifauna of the Mississippi Valley. Arkan- sas is remarkable for the variety and abundance of its bird life. This is the first detailed report on the subject that has been published. The bulletiu is priced at 25 cents. An important chapter in the Annual report of the Experiment Sta- tions Office for 1910 has been reprinted in a separate pamphlet. Its title is Irrigation under the Carey act. This act, which was a rider on an ap- propriation bill passed August 18, 1894, "has made possible the success- ful reclamation and settlement of millions of acres of desert land," says the article. The text of the original act, and also of the amendments by which it has been perfected, is in the pamphlet. Idaho leads in the development of land under the Carey act. That State is now de- veloping its third allotment of 1,000,000 acres. Eight States — Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Wyoming — have received grants of land of 1,000,000 acres or more imder the Carey act. Bulletin 442J, Alaska coal and its utilization, is by Alfred H. Brooks, the man supposed to know most about the subject. He is also the man who declined promotion to Chief Geologist so that he might continue his work in Alaska. It is the age of cement. The report of the Geological Survey on the cement industry for 1910 shows that the American production for that year was 76,549,951 barrels, valued at $68,205,800. In 1880 the produc- tion was 82,000 barrels valued at 1126,000. The price in 1880 touched 13.00 a barrel. In 1910 the average was 89 cents. Series 1, vol. 24, Official records of the Union and Confederate navies in the War of the Rebellion, is now ready for delivery. Cloth bound, matching the previous volumes, 75 cents. Fisheries Bureau Bulletin for 1909 (vol. 29 of the Bulletin series) is now on sale at |1.35 in cloth binding. The large volume is made up of seven scientific papei"s, all of which have been previously issued in pamphlet form. As now brought together, they have been provided with a general index, while the combination of all the illustrations makes an unusually attractive volume. The frontispiece is a portrait of one of the handsomest of American fishes, the lake trout. There are several colored pictures of the American lobster. The United States has at the Hot Springs Reservation a superintendent who is an enthusiast in his work. In his Annual report, speaking of the October, 1911 179 medical efficacy of the springs, he says, "The cures effected here are so startling as to seem almost miraculous." An important recent publication of the Library of Congress is Tentative headings and cross-references for a subject catalogue of American and English law. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 20 cents. Insecticide decision 1 was issued in August by the Insecticide and Fungicide Board, a comparatively new organization created to pass upon the purity and efficacy of commercial insecticides and fungicides. Now the Board has issued Insecticide decision 2, in which it finds it necessary to warn the public that neither the decisions nor the corre- spondence of the Bureau must be taken to add anything to the Rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of the insecticide act of 1910 nor to take anything away from them. The Gaugers' weighing manual, 1911 edition, is now ready. In cloth, 75 cents. Education Bureau Bulletin 18, series of 1911, has for title Teachers' certificates issued under general State laws and regulations. It is the outgrowth of a conference of State education officers concerning the recognition in each State of teachers' certificates granted in other States. 20 cents. Fruit culturists should not overlook Plant Industry Bureau Bulletin 135, Orchard fruits in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge regions of Virginia and the South Atlantic States. Annual report of the American Historical Association, 1909, is but a single volume, price in cloth, 75 cents. PROCEEDIXGS OF CONGRESS Vol. 47, Congressional record, is the verbatim report of the proceedings of the 1st session of the 62d Congress, convened by Presidential mandate Apr. 4, and adjourned by its own authority Atig. 22, 1911. These pro- ceedings have been published in the numbers of the Record issued daily while the session lasted. Now they are again published in the permanent bound books which will be preserved in the official and unofficial libraries of the country. Vol. 47 is issued in five parts, each one of which is a very large book. Four of these books contain only proceedings, April 4-Aug. 18. The fifth part is an index volume, but contains also proceedings, Aug. 19-22, and an Appendix made up of delayed speeches. The Superintendent of Documents offers the new volume of the Con- gressional record for sale at $2.00 each for parts 1-4 and |2.25 for the index volume. SESSION LAWS The session laws, otherwise known as the pamphlet laws, containing the enactments of the 1st session of the 62d Congress, are now on sale in one large pamphlet, price 40 cents. The number of laws passed at the recent session was unusually small. The most important one was the act providing for reciprocity with Canada, and everybody knows what the Canadian voters did to that. 14409— No. 202—11 2 180 October. 1911 The act for publicity of campaign contributions and the resolution for the admission of the States of Arizona and New Mexico are the only other important measures of more than local interest. There are, however, an unusual number of Presidential proclamations relating to national forests and national monuments, and each of these is accompanied by a map. PRICE OF SLIP LAWS HEDUCED The subscription price for the Federal laws, as published in separate pamphlets or slips during the sessions of Congress and immediately mailed to subscribers, has been reduced from $2.00 a session to $1.00 a session. When the price was first fixed it was announced that it was an experi- mental rate, subject to change as experience might dictate. The session then current enacted a large number of laws — several hundred — but the number in the succeeding sessions has been much less, and it now seems evident that the reduced rate will be sufficient to meet the average cost, taking one session with another. REPORTS OF COMMERCE COURT The Superintendent of Documents. l>elieving that there will be con- siderable demand for the reported decisions of the new Commerce Court, which decides appeals from the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission, has arranged to publish the decisions in a series of bound volumes. It is too early to give any details. As the material accumulates, further announcements will be made. TWENTY-SEVENTH ETHNOLOGY REPORT The 27th annual report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, nomi- nally for the year 1906, was not issued in time to be regularly catalogued in this number of the Monthly catalogue, but it has been printed, and copies will be on sale by the time this announcement reaches the reader. A NEW FINANCIAL LIBRARY The publications of the National Monetary Commission, which in the numbered Congressional document edition were printed in 44 separate paper-covered documents (one of them in two volumes), have been now collected in 24 cloth-bound volumes, having title-pages free of document numbers, with some changes in titles, and carrying on the backs of the title-pages information as to the document numbers and titles under which the first prints were made. Following is the list of volumes, with the new forms of title and the document numbers of the first edition. All of the document numbers indicate Senate documents of the 61st Congress.

Report of National Monetaiy Commission; including Sug- gested plan for monetarj' legislation, related papers, data, etc. The contents of volumes 1-23 are definitely determined as above stated. Those of A'olume 24 are somewhat less certain. The Report of the Commission has not yet been printed, and there has not been any public announcement that it has been drafted or considered by the Commission as a body. It will, however, whether long or short, be the chief feature of the volume. Already two drafts of Mr. Aldrich 's Sug- gested plan (Document 784), have been printed, and it is intimated there may be still others. All will be found in volume 24. Dr. Hol- lander's Bank loans and stock exchange speculation, listed as Document 589, but never printed because the manuscript had not reached the Commission, will be included in the volume, the manuscript having been lately received. Document 592, The French banking system, which has been listed but not printed, will not be printed in either edition, and Document 663, Banks of issue and circulation notes, it is said will be consolidated with Document 575, Italian banks of issue, included in volume 18, The 24- volume bound edition of the new financial library thus brought into existence by the Monetary Commission will be handsomely and substantially bound — ^probably in a dai'k green buckram — and will be sold in sets only at $45. Orders for single articles or treatises will be filled from the paper-covered numbered document prints. CORRIGENDA In the biography of Edward LeGrand Adams, consul at Dublin, as found in the State Department Register, the date of his service as editor of the Elmira advertiser is given as 1893-1898. For 1893 read 1883. The use of soils east of the Great Plains region is the title of Soils Bureau Bulletin 78, and the same general title, followed by a subtitle, is sup- posed to appear in the "'separates" therefrom, of which several have been printed. In two of these separates, however, the word "east" has been omitted from the general title, making it appear that the sub- ject under treatment is The use of soils of the Great Plains region, which of course is quite contrary to the Bureau's intention. The librarian who October, 1911 183 supplies the missing word at once puts up an insurance against trouble hereafter. A new print of the United States mining laws and regulations there- under, issued by the General Land Office, retains the imprint date of the old edition, 1909, and also carries on its title-page the legend "Ap- proved March 29, 1909," but on pages 60 and 61 appear amendments dated July 29 and Aug. 8, 1911, proving conclusively that the pamphlet can not have been issued prior to those dates. An imprint date two years out of the way is a serious error, very misleading to librarians, who can not be expected to read through all their documents to discover whether the imprint dates agree with the contents. The purpose of the imprint date in a book is to show the time of its publication. If it does not show this it might better be omitted altogether. In the Statutes at large, vol. 34, part 1, page 218, authority is given the director of the census (among other things) to issue decennial reports on "transportion' ' by water. Under this authority a report has been issued on "transportation" by water — quite a different thing, as one may see by looking closely. We are taught that the laws are to be followed literally, and that nobody is authorized to add or subtract even a comma, much less two letters as in this case. Still, no particular catastrophes seem to have resulted from publishing "transportation" on the authority for publishing "transportion." In vols. 218 and 219, United States Supreme Court Reports, the state- ments are published that Mr. Justice Van Devanter was appointed to succeed Mr. Justice Moody, resigned, and that Mr. Justice Lamar was appointed to succeed Mr. Justice "V\Tiite, promoted to the Chief Justice- ship. In vol. 220 these statements are said to be "in error," Justice Lamar succeeding Justice Moody and Justice Van Devanter succeeding Justice White.
