A, 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 confined 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 will constitute a useful addition to the resources of students of almost any aspect of American history. It wiU 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 aU 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. Each volume is divided into two parts. Part I contains references to general sources of information and descriptive matter found in the documents. Part II con- tains references to particular series of reports, and particular topics, arranged alpha- betically 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 chro- " Index of all reiwrts Issued by bureaus of labor statistics in the U. S. prior to Mch. 1, 1902. Wash. 1902. 287 pp. 8». PREFATORY NOTE nological. Anyone desiring information on any particular topic will, therefore, look for that topic in its alphabetical order in Part II. Numerous cross-references will, 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 reports into more than one series occurs whenever there is a change in title, in the authority making the re- port 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 will be retained throughout the series. It will 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 imnecessary. 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 Rhode Island volume and will be retained in succeeding issues. The present volume has been preceded by four similar volumes, confined to the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York, respectively. It will be fol- lowed by others, each devoted to a single state. The work when completed will, there- fore, furnish an index to the economic material in the reports and governors' mes- sages of aU the states of the Union. In the preparation of the index for Rhode Island the collection of the New York Public Library has been used as a basis. The collections of the Rhode Island His- torical Society, the Library of Congress, the Bar Association of the City of New York, the New York State Library, and the Rhode Island State Library have been exam- ined. One of the most complete collections of Rhode Island material is the " Rider Collection of Rhode Island History " in Brown University Library. In addition such bibliographical works as Bartlett, Brigham's Bibliography of Rhode Island History,' Bowker, Sabin, etc., have been used. The assignment of location is intended merely to show where the particular copy of a docimient, not in the New York Public Library, and which was examined for entry in this index, is to be found. It does not mean that it is to be found only in the library indicated. ''Repr. from Field's R. I. and Providence Plantations, v. 3: 653-681. COLLECTED DOCUMENTS Rhode Island had nevei', up to 1906, published that record of her legislative proceedings which other states of the Union do publish In the form of House and Senate Journals. Nor has she until within two or three years had a flle of what might properly be called " Collected Documents." Her file of session laws has been the repository for those executive reports, messages, etc., which, In other states, are usually found In the collected docu- ments. Not until 1902 did Rhode Island publish a volume, which, under the title " Reports presented to the General Assembly," is the first of a series of genuine " Collected Documents." The volumes collated below are in reality the session laws. Up to May, 1817, the Issues of the session laws were in folio form, since then the form has been an octavo. These session laws comprise the current public and private acts, and, until about 1850, such executive reports of a specifically administrative character as were ordered to be published by the General Assembly. Up to 1850 the reports were not separated from the acta and resolves with any regularity, being found anywhere in the volume with no regard for any system- atic arrangement. In January, 1850, was begun that segregation of reports from the acts and resolves which has gradually developed into the present absolute separation. At first the reports so segre- gated were not numbered and they formed part of an appendix which was paged consecutively with the acts and resolves. Soon after, in January, 1852, reports were for the first time Issued as portions of the appendix with individual paging, although a portion of the appendix continued to be consecutively paged with the main volume. Later, in January, 1863, the reports began to form a numbered series of public documents, published as an appendix, to the Acts and Resolves. In 1902 this form was abandoned and the reports were Issued in a volume by themselves, called " Reports presented to the General Assembly." A little irregularity still existed in 1902, which, it is believed, is made clearer by the collation shown below than it could have been made by a narrative explanation. Up to January, 1850, the volumes collated below had no title pages. At that session, viz., January, 1850, a title page and the designation, in print, of " Acts and Resolves " was adopted. This designation of " Acts and Resolves " has been retained uninterruptedly for the title page. Beginning with May, 1873, the caption " Acts, Resolves, and Reports " began to be used on the cover of those issues of the Acts and Resolves which were accompanied with administrative reports. In the collation given below the compiler has carried this distinc- tion from the January 1850 issue. Popular reference to these volumes is variously as schedules. Acts and Resolves or Acts, Resolves, and Reports, for those session laws accompanied by reports of officers. Schedules are commonly under- stood to be the earlier Acts and Resolves, although there is no fixed time when this reference ceases to be employed. The trade applies it to more recent volumes than do the bibliographers. The General Assembly has always, up to within very recent years, held several sessions during the year, a " Schedule " being issued for each sessslon. During the colonial period two sessions are occasionally found Issued as one Schedule. The charter of 1663 provided for two sessions annually, in May and October, extra sessions, however, being frequent as is shown by the following collation. The number of annual sessions was fixed at three, two regular, in May and October respectively, and an adjourned session, by the constitution of 1842, changed to two, one regular. In May and an adjourned session, by an amendment passed in 1854 and to one. In January by an amendment passed in 1900. A word of caution should be given to collectors ojE Rhode Island documents. Omissions of numbered documents from bound volumes are not infrequent, nor is there absolute uniformity in the make-up of the volumes. Unnumbered documents are found in one collection, and omitted from another. An effort has been made in the following collation to combine the contents of the collections examined for this purpose and mentioned on p. 4. The collation as given below, therefore, does probably not correspond to any one set of Rhode Island collected documents. No guarantee can be given, moreover, that there do not exist other more complete volumes. The docs, usually found missing from volumes are indicated by an asterisk. Owing to the peculiar method of make-up of the Rhode Island documents, a departure has been made in the Rhode Island index. In all the other states the material indexed is in the nature of documents or reports. In Rhode Island, more or less of this material appears in the form of resolutions. These resolutions are In effect laws, and laws have not been indexed in the other states. When, however, in the case of Rhode Island, these resolutions have had a bearing on national issues as, for instance, the tariff, national banks, the sub-treasury, etc., and they have been the only published Indication of the attitude of Rhode Island as to these Issues, they have been Included in this index in order that Rhode Island might be represented together with those other states which have published their attitude on these questions In the form of reports, governors' messages, etc. Acts and Resolves (or "Schedules").' 1789/90.

In his rept. made to the May, 1872, sess. the auditor gives the reason for the omission of the customary report. At the session of Jan. 1871, the auditor, as actg. treasurer, in conjunction witi the finance committee of each house, made a report, dated April 26, 1872, on the late treasurer's ac- counts. In his judgment, this report rendered a regular report from the auditor unnecessary, al- though, so far as the continuity of the auditor's records goes, the period from Jan. to May, 1871, seems not to be covered by any printed documents. 3 series 1871/2-1877/8 1871/2-1877/8.

Up to 1827 the general treasurer's report of receipts and expenditures was merely an unclassified ac- count current of income and outgo. In May, 1827, the receipts from fees and fines of the Sapreme Judicial Court were for the first time made a separate item, and in May, 1828, that portion of the state revenue appropriated by act of Jan. 1828, for the support of public schools, was first set apart Up to Oct 1832, this Utter account was made semi-annually, although the law required only an annual account at the May session. The account submitted at the Oct session was called variously " Receipts and Expenditures of the School Fund " or " Receipts from Mngrs. of Lot- teries and Auctioneers," this being the source of revenue of the School Fund, and "Moneys appro- priated by law to Public Schools." In Oct 1832, the Oct account was for the first time omitted and henceforth the school fund was reported on annually at the May or June session. Beginning with May, 1835, the general treasurer's semi-annual account for May is more clearly ar- ranged In three distinct divisions, via., first, the semi-annual balance acct, second, receipts and expenditures of revenue not appropriated by law for a particular purpose, and third, receipts and expenditures on account of public schools. In May. 1833, the expenditures for accounts allowed by the General Assembly were for the first time made a separate Item. These accounts were paid at the General Treasury upon certificate of the secretary of the Assembly, the certificates showing only amount ordered paid and time when paid. Although these amounts formed a considerable part of the state expenditures it was not known at the General Treasury for what purpose, or In what county, the money was being paid. In June 1842, an act was passed requiring that the general treasurer in his semi-annual statement classify the expense account as follows : A. Salaries. B. Pay of Senators. C. do. of Represen- tatives. D.

This act also provided that hereafter the general treasurer was to Include In his May statement the receipts and expenditures for the whole of the preceding year. Receipts. — The general treasurer's report transmitted at the May 1831 session Is accompanied by a folding table, viz., " Abstract of General Treas- urer's report, showing by towns and counties, the classified receipts," later called Summary. The heads for receipts In May 1831, were the follow- ing : From town councils for licenses, from banks, lotteries, per cent on ticket (I. e., tax on vendors of foreign lottery tickets), auctioneers, civil com- missions. Supreme Judicial Court, Common Pleas, school fund dividend, pedlers, jailers and total. These heads remained practically the same to the end of this series. Such variations as a more specific classification of revenues from banks are noted under " Banks " In this analysis. Expenditures. — The general treasurer's report trans- mitted at the Oct. 1832 session adds the acct. ot expenditures to those of receipts in the " Sum- mary." The heads for expenditures in Oct. 1832 are : Salaries, Senators, Representatives, Order of the Governor, Supreme Court, Common Pleas. In May, 1833, there are added the following : Publishing Laws, Supt. of Schools, Bank Stock, and Accounts allowed by the General Assembly. In May, 1839, there is added State Prison.
