The reader is left wondering who were the people who salvaged and inventoried the records, how did they go about their work, how did they look upon their work, and whak became of them when the program fell victim to the war effort. As a case study, therefore, Noggle’s essay is incomplete; hence, it is only partly successful. Noggle succeeds more fully in communicating the state of mind among historians and others toward the study of Amer- ican history in the 1930s. The HRS county studies, along with the FWP state studies, enjoyed a large measure of popularity, according to Noggle, because they were a manifestation of the growing interest among citizens in defining and evaluating what it was to be an American, particularly in the face of the threats of economic collapse and fascism. The public records of America’s past were certainly critical to this evaluation process, and Noggle makes this point well. In addition to the essay and the appendix, the book con- tains a brief but helpful bibliographical note; regrettably, it does not contain an index. The author has produced a very thoughtful and well-researched study, one, it is hoped, that will inspire similar efforts in other states. Indiana Historical Society, Robert K.

    1816.] REGISTER OF OFFICERS OF THE UNITED STATES. 307 JANUARYn 9, 1816. With every expedient of economy that I find possible, I am living at an expense which, at the end of two years from my arrival in this country, would more than absorb the whole salary for those two yeaLs, even with tile allow- ance for the outfit. A very few years' residence here must involve my own affairs beyond all power of redemption. Extracts of a letterfrom Mr. Adams to thte Secretary of State, dated JANUARY 4, 1816. It is very desirable that some general revision of the consular establishments should be made, and some regular system concerning them be sanctioned by law. For the port of London a provision for the compensation of the consul must be made, or the office must be given to some wealthy merchant established in the city, to whom it may be acceptable for the facilities of business which le may derive from it. Colonel Aspinwall cannot hold it long without a salary, or without forming a commercial establishment connected with it, and upon which alone he must rely for support. In one of his late letters to me, (a copy of which has been transmitted to you,) Mr. Beasley expresses the convic- tion that the provision made by the laws of the United States for the relief of indigent and destitute seamen in foreign ports is liable to great abuse. The late and present excessive numbers of persons claiming the benefit of it, both at London and Liverpool, afford confirmations of that opinion; but, on the other hand, it is obvious that, with the increase of our commerce and navigation, the casualties incident to them must have proportionably multiplied.

    Stephen Qirard's ^Banlfj

    Stephen Qirard's ^BanlfJ HEN Stephen Girard established his private bank in South Third Street, Philadelphia, on May 12, 1812, the citizens Wof Pennsylvania were permitted to watch the progress of a novel experiment in the relationship of business and government. The new bank was unincorporated and unchartered, and seemingly was to be dependent for its success solely on the good name of Philadelphia's wealthiest citizen, Stephen Girard. Time, however, made it clear that the bank survived and thrived, primarily because Girard foresaw the growing importance of government financing, and anticipated the commercial and financial advantage of the forces that were working towards unification and centralization in the nation. Finally, of course, much was owing to his skillful manipu- lation of the relationship between his bank and the United States Treasury. In fact, nothing could be more interesting than to note the difference between the financial concepts and practices that showed themselves in an earlier bank like the Bank of North America, and the concepts and practices of Girard. We have left the world of the mercantilists and entered that of the Rothschilds and the nineteenth century. Girard was a naturalized American citizen of French birth who, as a youth of fourteen, began his career as a seaman and commercial agent in the West Indies trade plying between Bordeaux and the Caribbean seaports. In 1773, nine years later, he became a licensed captain and started in trading for himself, changing the scene of his activities next year to the coastal trade between New York and His- paniola. While thus engaged in 1776, he was chased into the port of Philadelphia by a vessel of the blockading British fleet.

    More than Just a Mouthpiece: The House Clerk as Party Operative, 1789-1870 Jeffery A. Jenkins [email protected] Department of Political Science Northwestern University and Charles Stewart III [email protected] Department of Political Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Chicago, September 2–5, 2004. We thank Garry Young for many helpful suggestions. I. Introduction In the years preceding the Civil War, the U.S. House of Representatives was often a focal point for sectional and partisan struggle. One manifestation of this struggle was the chamber’s persistent difficulty in organizing itself for business. Half of the twelve Congresses that convened from 1839 to 1861 witnessed protracted balloting for the House Speakership. Twice, in the 31st and 34th Congresses, balloting persisted for weeks; divisions seemed so insurmountable that proposals were seriously considered to adjourn these Congresses and await new elections. Battles over the Speakership were the most visible of the sectional and partisan contests for control of the House in the antebellum era, but there were others. Recent research by Jeffery A. Jenkins and Charles Stewart III has shown that the House Printer was a highly prized position because of its patronage potential and centrality to the network of partisan newspapers that were so critical to the success of the Jacksonian Democratic party.1 Indeed, the move to viva voce voting in elections for House officers did not occur because of Speakership stalemates, but rather because of wrangling over the choice of Printer.

It has been made as complete as time had permitted. A complex subject, the Independent Treasury System gauged America's economic development during its years of operation. The Customs is a subject on quite another level, lacking an extensive liter­ ature, although tariff policy has been the subject of much eco­ nomics and historical writing.
