The order being indefinite, the reprinting was continued till 1849, filling seven leather-bound volumes. Volume 1 contains Hamilton's famous reports on Public Credit, a National Bank, Manufactures, and the Establishment of a Mint, but no regular annual report from him. The first annual report reprinted is Gallatin's of 1801, and thereafter there is a consecutive series. Only volume 2, containing the reports for the years 1815 to 1828, is now available for sale.
