PREFATORY NOTE This index undertakes to deal only with the printed reports of administrative officers, legislative committees, and special commissions of the states and with gover- nors' messages for the period since 1789. It does not refer to constitutions, laws, legislative proceedings or court decisions, except in so far as they happen to be found in the class of documents above mentioned. It attempts, on the other hand, to furnish a list, as complete as possible, of all the documents and messages 'which fall within its scope, in whatever form they may have been published, whether separately, in collected documents, legislative journals or volumes of laws, and to indicate the volume in which they may be found. In general, unless otherwise indicated, the material indexed is in the New York Public Library. In some cases reference is made to reports and messages prior to 1789, and to publications other than public documents which it was felt would be helpful to those likely to use the index. Although these have been included no claim to completeness is made except in the case of the documents and messages since 1789. In addition to furnishing a list of reports and messages, the index undertakes to supply a reference by volume and page to all material of economic importance which they contain, with the exception of that contained in the reports of bureaus of labor. The reason for this exception is that these reports have already been indexed by Carroll D. "Wright, late United States Commissioner of Labor,' in a volume published by his department in 1902. Although the index is coniined to matter of economic bearing, the term " economic " has been given a broad interpretation. In view of this liberal interpretation it is believed that the index wiU constitute a useful addition to the resources of students of almost any aspect of American history. It will be seen that the present index differs both in scope and character from R. R. Bowker's " State Publications," the valuable pioneer work in this field. It is narrower in scope than " State Publications " which aims to present a list not only of reports and governors' messages but of all state documents; but in the field which the present work covers it contains not only a more complete list of documents than has hitherto been published but also an index of their contents in so far as these have an economic bearing. Both contents and series of reports are arranged alphabetically by topics. The references under each topic are divided into two groups, viz., " serial " and *' non- serial." Within each of these divisions the arrangement is chronological. Numerous cross-references wiU, it is hoped, make it possible to discover with little difficulty all the material bearing on that topic. It is to be remarked that the division of serial ^ Index of all reports Issued by bureaus of labor statistics in the U. S. prior to Mch. 1 1902 Wash iqni> 287 pp. 8°. ■ ' 3 PREFATORY NOTE reports into more than one series occurs whenever there is a change in title, in the authority making the report or in frequency of issue. It will be seen that this division is not an arbitrary one. It is made in the belief that the reason for it can be more clearly shown in this way than by a narrative explanation. Uniform entry words for subjects recurring in different states wiU be retained throughout the series. It wiU thus be possible to make a study not only of the historical development of an economic subject as reflected in the documents of an individual state but also to make a comparative study of that development as it has taken place in the country at large. To accomplish this purpose it has been necessary to make the selec- tion of entry words without reference to the peculiarities of local usage, such peculi- arities being recognized in the case of each state by cross-references. The abbreviations employed are believed to be sufficiently obvious to make a table of them unnecessary. Unless otherwise stated the size of the books is octavo. A feature introduced in the New York part of this index, and not employed in the preceding parts (i. e. Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont), is the system of ref- erences from locality. This feature is made a part of the Massachusetts fascicule and will be retained in succeeding issues. The present volume has been preceded by five similar volmnes, confined to the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and Rhode Island, respectively. It will be followed by others, each devoted to a single state. The work when completed will, therefore, furnish an index to the economic material in the reports and governors' messages of aU the states of the Union, Owing to the fact that so many documents of Massachusetts are omitted from the collected documents the work of compiling this fascicule has been made more than usually difficult. Every reasonable precaution has been taken to make it as complete as under the circumstances it could be made. In the preparation of the index the col- lection of the New York Public Library has been used as a basis. The collections of the Massachusetts State Library, the Massachusetts Historical Society Library, the American Antiquarian Society, the Boston Athenaeum and the Boston Public Library have been examined. In addition such bibliographical works as relate to Massa- chusetts, as Bowker, Sabin, etc., have been used. The Surgeon-Greneral's Index-Cata- logue and the Library of Congress cards have been examined. Reports of committees, reporting by way of resolves, have not been indexed when the report is found to be merely a formal transmittal of the resolve. Such material, however, when accompa- nied by some qualifying remarks on the part of the committee, even though the report is technically known as a resolve, has been included in this index. The assignment of location is intended merely to show where the particular copy of a document, not in the New York Public Library, and which was examined for entry in tMs index, is to be found. It does not mean that it is to be found only in the library indicated. The indexes preceding New York have been divided into two parts, the first com- prising documents of a general nature, and the second a topical analysis. There are so few documents of the first sort published by Massachusetts that this division has been PREFATORY NOTE abandoned. Reference is made to the General Court Manual and to the Catalogue of Annual Reports contained in the Massachusetts Public Documents. The former con- tains the usual material of legislative manual, i. e. electoral statistics, administrative successions, texts of the constitution and valuation tables. Piles of the manual are to be found in the State Library, and in the other greater libraries of Boston and vicinity, as well as in the large libraries of other cities. The latter is a 47-page pamphlet prepared by the Massachusetts Library Club and issued by the Massachusetts State Library. COLLECTED DOCUMENTS In the pul>Iicatlon of her early documents Massachusetts does not differ greatly from other states. Her journals and documents, like those of the states already indexed in the present series, were issued with more or less irregularity. During the period covered by this index Massachusetts published no Senate journal until Jan. 1869. The regular publication of her House Journal was begun in 1854. Two stray House journals had been issued for the first and second sessions resp. of the General Court of 1807/8, but no others were published until 1854. Massachusetts documents were first numbered in 1826. At this time, and until May 1831, two sessions of the General Court were held annually. It is not believed that these early numbered docu- ments were contemporaneously bound for distribution. In the majority of cases the documents are not dated, or if dated, very often the year date is the only one given, and being re-numbered with each session, it is sometimes difficult to tell from the document to which session It belongs. Collectors of Massachusetts documents are cautioned to exercise care in the making up of documents. In order to fix the place of these uncertain documents they have been set out in the following schedule by titles, from the first numbered documents in 1826 to the second session of the 1830/1 General Court, which is the last regularly holding two sessions. This schedule has been executed with care, recourse having been had to the manuscript journals in all cases of documents whose sessional identity remained doubtful. From 1826 to 1845 the Senate and House documents respectively comprised the publications of the General Court. In 1846 was begun the annual publication of a volume to which the title of General Court Documents has been given in the following schedule. It is a volume of annual reports made up by the secretary of the commonwealth and by him submitted to the General Court. From 1846 to 1853 three sets of documents comprised the output of the General Court, viz.. Senate documents. House documents, and General Court documents. To these were added a fourth set, viz., the House Jol., in 1854. In 1857, by virtue of ch. 46, acts of 1858, there was added the set still known as Public documents. The General Court documents were discontinued with the 1857 issue, and, until the appearance of the Senate journal in 1865, there was no further change in the combination of the collected documents. With the issue of the Senate journal the present form of the col- lected documents was established outwardly. As will be seen by the following collation the Senate and House documents and the Public documents each carried a continuous numbering, renewed with each session of the General Court. This system is still in vogue for the Senate and House documents, but was abandoned in 1893 for the Public documents, to give place to a subject arrangement. It has not been feasible to attach a serial numbering to the Massachusetts collected documents, owing to the fact that the Senate and House documents are not bound by the state for dis- tribution. The number of these documents is often so great that it is necessary to bind a year's issue in several volumes. As no two libraries would probably bind alike, serial numbering for all has been Impossibe. The numbering of the documents beginning with those of 1831 has been so regular that no particular object was to be gained by setting out their contents. Consequently this has not been done. In the case of Rhode Island where publication was persistently Irregular, this was necessary.

Some search was made In the manuscript records of the Commonwealth but no copy was found. At the Nov. sess. the General Court was prorogued because the elections needed to be determined upon before the first Wednesday of the following December. The General Court convened at Concord on account of the small-pox epidemic then prevalent in Boston. Possibly these irregularities are concerned in the dlsappearancs of the Governor s message. 106 INDEX TO DOCUMENTS OF THE STATE OP MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR— cont'd Annual Address — cont'd 1823 1824 1825 1826 tt 1827 1828 41 1829 1830 1831 it 1832 1833 1834 1835 1836 1837 1838 1839 1840 1841 1842 1843 1844 1845 1846 1847 1848 1849 1850 1851 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856 1857 1858 1859 June Eustis Jan.

As early as 1829 Massachusetts projected an enterprise of considerable magnitude. In view of the fact that It was the earliest of the state surveys, that large sums of money were expended for Its prose- cution, but principally owing to the fact that the various reports have never been collated to illus- trate the enterprise as a whole, the compiler has thought it advisable to assemble here all the re- ports bearing on the state survey. There is no administrative relation whatever between the sev- eral branches of this survey, nor was there ever a central directing office. The apprns. were all special apprns., and the repts., as a rule, were made either to the governor or to the secy, of the commonwealth. Such of the branches of the survey as relate to subjects appearing elsewhere In this index, agriculture, for Instance, are dupli- cated under their proper headings. There is no authority for the division made below of first and second survey. It has been adopted by the compiler to illustrate the origin and progress of the survey, as is explained by tie notes under each division. 1 survey The scientific surveys undertaken by the commonwealth were made with a view to the construction of a Btate map.
