Explanation 1 Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications cata- logued. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports, are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and ■session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House documents and reports, 61st Congress, 2d session, is to be understood. 222 General Informat ion 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. Only one copy can be sold to the same person, excepting Members of Congress, or to libraries or schools. Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, nor can they he forwarded in advance of payment. Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (t) indicates that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document, a double dagger ($) indicates that the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems neces- sary 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 several millions, 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 most 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. Lists on various subjects will be issued from time to time for free distribution. No general price-list of public documents is at present available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application.

MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Delegate, 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 indexes. Back numbers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintend- ent of Documents of any change in address. 223 224 Dec em be r , 1909

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 documents. The figure following the card number (separated from it by a slanting line) indicates the number of cards required for entries suggested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and 1c. 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 Superintendent of Documents.

CUMULATIVE INDEX Beginning with July, 1909, the Index to the Monthly catalogue is issued separately each quarter and cumulates for half-yearly periods. That is, the September number of the Index indexes the Monthly catalogue for July, August, and September, the December number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for July to December, the March number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for Janu- ary to March, and the June number will be the Index for the fiscal year 1910. 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 owner’s risk. Canadian postal notes will be accepted only when the name of the issuing office is plainly stamped on the face of the note. If postage stamps are pasted on, the note will be returned. Postage stamps, foreign money, uncertified checks, defaced or smooth coins will positively not be accepted. No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points in the 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 Intere st

The first number of the Pilot chart for the Indian Ocean has been issued by the Hydrographic Office. Hereafter it will be issued quarterly. A Summary of the mineral production of the United States for 190S has been issued in advance of the issue of the complete volume of Mineral resources for that calendar year. The total value of mineral products for 1908 is $1,595,670,186, being a decrease of $475,937,778 from the valuation for 1907, when for the second time the totals exceeded $2,000,000,000. Though coal is still the leader, with iron a bad second, gold increased to $94,560,000, which is the record, but it is exceeded by both copper and clay. Forest Service circular 171, The forests of the United States: their use, is a clear and vigorous presentation of the present status of the American forestry problem, from the pen of Mr. Overton W. Price, associate forester. Forest Service circular 172 discusses Methods of increasing forest productivity, certainly a most practical topic. Plant Industry Bureau has issued title page, contents table, and list of illustrations for binding its first 40 circulars in a volume. Professor Irving Fisher’s famous paper, The national vitality: its wastes and conservation, which hitherto has been a public document only by virtue of the fact that it was one of the numerous papers composing the report of the National Conservation Commission and was printed in volume 3 of that report, has now been issued in a separate pamphlet. It is not, however, available for sale by the Superintendent of Documents. The popular demand for this paper has been very active and widespread. The Library of Congress has issued a Want list of miscellaneous publications. A slight inspection of it is convincing evidence of the very comprehensive aims of the Library. Its purpose evidently is to make its collection—especially of American prints—all-embracing. The list is sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 5c. a copy. Internal Revenue regulations 31 is the one which relates to payment of the new excise tax on corporations. The corporation tax law, which is. section 38 of the new tariff law, has been separately issued in an 8-page pamphlet by the Joint Committee on Printing. The Interstate Commerce Commission has added another series to the numerous series of its publications. It is called Circular letters and no. 2 relates to a Proposed uniform demurrage code. A paper by Dr. Lavinder, The prophylaxis of pellagra, first published in Public health reports, v. 24, no. 44, Oct. 29, 1909. has now 225 226 Dece mbe r , 1909 been republished in a separate pamphlet. Dr. Lavinder is consid- ered a chief authority on the knowledge and treatment of this formidable disease. The Indian Affairs Office has begun the issue of a series of bulletins. The first number, bearing date Dec. 31, 1909, is a pamphlet of only 6 pages, describing the Indian fairs which have of late been a most interesting feature of Indian development. The bulletins will not be issued at regular periods, but as the need for supplying information to the field force of the Office may dictate. A handsomely printed pamphlet contains a compilation, by Mr. II. A. Vale, clerk to the Joint Committee on the Library, of the legislation creating the national Statuary Hall in the Capitol, and of the proceedings in Congress relating to the statues which have been placed in the hall by the States. The acts of the first Philippine Legislature, forming one of the volumes of the Annual reports of the War Department for 1909, have just now been published. From Sept. 12, 1900, to Oct. 12, 1907, the internal legislation for the Philippines was all enacted by the Philippine Commission, 1,800 acts having been passed. Since Oct. 16, 1907, the laws of the islands have been made by the Phil- ippine Legislature, a body composed of two houses, the upper house being the Philippine Commission and the lower house an Assembly elected by the Filipinos. Another in the series of nutrition studies which have been received with much interest throughout the country has been issued by the Experiment Stations Office. It is Bulletin 221, entitled Dietary studies in rural regions in Vermont. Tennessee, and Georgia, a pamphlet of 142 pages and 8 photographic illustrations, sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 25c. Hygienic Laboratory bulletin 52 is Report no. 3 on the origin and prevalence of typhoid fever in the District of Columbia. It contains 160 pages of text and numerous maps and diagrams. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 45c. The Stars and stripes is a 5c. leaflet issued by the Quartermaster General of the Army, copies of which are sold by the Superintendent of Documents. It gives a brief history of the evolution of the national flag and describes this and other flags and their uses in the military service. The Plant Industry Bureau has issued its 19th inventory of seeds and plants imported for the benefit of American agriculture. The total number of such importations to June 30, 1909, was 25,717. Both the 18th and 19th inventories are now current, being Plant Industry Bureau bulletins 162 and 168. The Hydrographic Office, Navy Department, continues its interesting series of reprints of hydrographic information, no. 9, dated Jan. 1, 1910, and entitled The origin and mission of the Hydrographic Office, being of historical as well as technical value. Each number has at the end a list of preceding numbers and their date of issue. “ What is whisky?” may be one of the numerous vexed questions that “will never be settled till it is settled right,” but this one has Dece mbe r , 1909 227 been so settled—at least for all official purposes—by the recent decision of the President, reversing earlier official decisions. This decision, of importance to certain large business interests, has been printed in a leaflet, sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 5c. a copy. ERRORS IN A DOCUMENT Librarians are advised that in S. doc. 205, current session, sent to the libraries Dec. 27, a very small error, involving very large consequences, was made in printing. In the 3d page, 8th line from the top, the word “ increased ” should read “ decreased.” As will be readily seen, this change of two letters reverses the statement and makes the document self-contradictory. A “star print” (which is Government Printing Office technology for a corrected edition) has been issued and would have been sent to the libraries but for the timely interposition of a third edition, printed for the purpose of giving credit to the Atlantic monthly, from which the document had been reprinted. This third (and final) edition has been sent to the depository libraries.

FOURTEEN-FOOT WATERWAY House doc. 50, 61st Cong. 1st sess., has been in active demand even in the incomplete condition, minus maps and plates, in which a part of the edition was issued. It is the report of a special board of engineers on a survey of the Mississippi River from St. Louis to its mouth in the interest of the 14-foot channel and includes also a consideration of the survey of a proposed waterway from Chicago to St. Louis. This document has now been issued in its completed form, containing not only several folded maps and diagrams in the volume of text but also a very large atlas of 52 plates. The complete report, with atlas, will be sold by the Superintendent of Documents, in sets only, at $4.25 in paper covers.

CHECKLIST ADVANCE SHEETS DISCONTINUED As stated in the preface to the first Advance sheet of the 3d edition of the Checklist of United States public documents, the purpose in issuing the work in sheets, printed with wide margins and on only one side, was to give opportunity and invitation to librarians. publishing offices, and document experts to contribute criti- cisms, corrections, and suggestions in aid of the work. A few libraries and a few Government publishing offices have responded with additions and corrections both interesting and valuable, and to them thanks are cordially given, but their number is far too small to warrant continuing the publication of the Check- list in the costly Advance sheet form. Evidently the general feeling is that information concerning United States public documents should come from this office, not be supplied to it. 228 Dec em be r , 1909

This office accepts the situation, and is proceeding, as rapidly as force and facilities permit, to issue a complete one-volume Check- list of United States public documents. The discontinuance of the Advance sheets, so far from implying any change of policy or cessa- tion of the effort to supply the libraries of the country with needed helps in the use of the public documents, means that the issue of a complete and compact checklist will be greatly facilitated and hastened—will, in fact, become a matter of months, while on the Advance sheet plan it was a matter of years, and a somewhat in- definite number of years at that. The form chosen is an extensive and thorough revision of the so-called “ Crandall checklist ” of 1895. The purpose is to meet the general demand for a practical and convenient checklist of public documents at the earliest moment. The demand for such a publication has been persistent and increasing for a dozen years past, and this office now recognizes the fact that delays and explanations should no longer be offered in place of results. The new Checklist will present a record as complete as long expe- rience and expert knowledge can make it of the publications of the Government to the close of the calendar year 1909. It will include the only even approximately complete record yet made of the Early Congress Papers, the publications of the period of the first 14 Congresses, 1789-1817. This was made some years ago from actual inspection of the publications in the few libraries of the country which are fortunate enough to have large collections of this kind. Of the Checklist advance sheets, A 1—LC 12 (Agriculture Depart- ment to Library of Congress) have been issued, Interstate Commerce Commission, Justice Department, and Judiciary only excepted. Duplicate copies of the printed sheets are in stock and will be supplied to applying libraries or individuals without charge.

pa in ter 's deb ate s A unique set of publications are these. The recent completion of its set by the library of the Interstate Commerce Commission— probably the only complete set extant—supplies the material for a note which may interest librarians and collectors. Mr. Uriah Hunt Painter was a civil engineer by profession, but at the time of compiling his set of documents was a Washington news- paper correspondent. Beginning with the 48th Congress, in 1884, he compiled the Congressional debates relating to interstate commerce. He did it by using the stereotype plates of the Congressional record. He did not use them intact as they stand in the double-column quarto pages of the Record, but split the Record pages, using one column only fot the pages of his compilations and printing them on octavo size paper, leaving a wider margin than is customary in the public documents. The debates were printed in parts, sometimes with and sometimes without title-pages, and these were later collected in bound volumes. The first volume was made up of 8 parts ranging in size from 2 pages to 440 pages, all containing debates Dec em be r , 1909 229 in the 48th Congress on interstate commerce and the proposed cre- ation of an interstate commerce commission. Volume 2 is a similar compilation for the 49th Congress, 1886-87, but made up of only 2 parts. Volume 3 does a like service for the 50th, 52d, and 53d Congresses, 1888-95, the 51st Congress having been skipped because its members talked but little about interstate commerce. Of these three large volumes, giving the text of interstate commerce debates for the dozen years when that subject was almost continually uppermost, it is believed that not more than 15 copies were bound, though of the several parts perhaps as many as 50 copies were printed. Mr. Painter also compiled in somewhat similar fashion several other volumes—one, containing Pacific railroad debates in the 37thr 38th, and 41st Congresses, having been published at West Chester," I

HISTORY IN THE MAKING Students of American history may be somewhat puzzled by the provisions of section 32 of the public building act approved May 30, 1908, expressed in the words: “ That the sum of ten thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby, authorized, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War, to aid in the erection and completion of a memorial structure at Point Pleasant, West Virginia, to commemorate the battle of the Revolution fought at that point between the colonial troops and Indians October tenth, seventeen hundred and seventy-four.” As the American Revolution had no legal existence and no troops until after the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776, and as the battles of the Revolution were fought between the armies raised by authority of the Continental Congress on the one side and the troops of King George of England and their Indian allies on the other, it seems hardly accurate to class as a battle of the Revolu- tion one which was fought between Virginian troops under the command of a royal governor and an army of Indian savages nearly two years before the inception of the revolutionary government. As a matter of fact, instead of being known as a battle of the Revolution, Point Pleasant is recorded by historians as the chief battle of Lord Dunmore’s war with the Indians. Lord Dunmore was the royal governor of Virginia, King George’s representative in that colony, and the colonists who served under the King’s representative in the battle of Point Pleasant were undoubtedly many of them the same who a few years later served under the Congress and against the King in the actual battles of the Revolution. 21318—No. 180—10-----2 230 Dec em be r , 1909

Lord Dunmore did not personally command at the battle of Point Pleasant. He led one wing of his army down the Ohio, where it accomplished nothing. It was the other wing, under Gen. Andrew Lewis, which beat the Indians at Point Pleasant. Though it can- not correctly be called a battle of the Revolution, it was an important battle, a notable victory for the white men, and had a marked effect on the results of the Revolution which began a couple of years later. In his The Winning of the West, Theodore Roosevelt says: “ It wTas the most closely contested of any battle ever fought with the northwestern Indians; and it was the only victory gained over a large body of them by a force but slightly superior in numbers. . . . Its results were most important. It kept the northwestern tribes quiet for the first two years of the Revolutionary struggle; and above all it rendered possible the settlement of Kentucky, and therefore the winning of the West. Had it not been for Lord Dunmore’s War, it is more than likely that when the colonies achieved their freedom they would have found their western bound- ary fixed at the Alleghany Mountains.” Evidently it was a battle well worth commemorating, but it is quite possible to commemorate it without calling it a battle of the Revolution. The report of the Engineer Department on the letting of the contract and construction of the monument adopts the phrase “ battle of the Revolution,” but avoids mention of the date “ Oct. 10, 1774.” The monument is to be of granite and work on it has already begun.

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 libraries 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 had by purchase from the Superin- tendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. The papers printed in the annual reports are published separately for free distribution. Publica- tions should be ordered by the serial number. Remittances should be made payable to ‘ Smithsonian Institution.’ An application from a library should state the number of volumes in the library and the date of establishment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress.” The annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are regularly issued as public documents. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution. Dece mb er , 1909 267
