General NoteAUTHORITY FOR PUBLISHING THE CATALOGUE

This Monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with the provisions of section 69 of the act providing for the public printing and binding and the distribution of public documents, approved January 12 189rT which is as follows: ’ ’

“ Sec . 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared by the Superintendent of Documents on the first day of each month which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month’ where obtainable and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such catalogue shall be printed in pamphlet form for distribution.”

There is no direction as to who shall make the distribution, nor to whom it shall be made. Thus far the Superintendent of Documents has exercised his own discretion in the premises. In pursuance of this dis-cretion copies of each issue have been sent to the Senators, Representa-tives, and Delegates of the Fifty-fourth Congress, to the designated depository libraries, to those Government Departments, bureaus, and othces that issue public documents, to the officers of the Engineer Corps, U. S. A. (by request of the Chief of the Corps), and, finally, to those citizens who have asked for them. No arbitrary list of names of people who have expressed no interest in public documents has been made up. Only those unofficial citizens who were known to want the Catalogue have been supplied with it. By pursuing this course the small edition has thus far been saved from entire exhaustion, and it is still possible to send all the numbers except the first (Jan 1895) free of charge to those who ask for them. It is probable, however, that it will soon be found necessary to adopt some more restrictive rule than that of first come, first served,” which has thus far been followed More than 900 requests for the regular receipt of the Catalogue have been received from every part of this country and from several foreign countries, and every mail brings additional requests.

67

SALES BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS

Section 61 of the act hereinbefore quoted provides as follows:“The Superintendent of Documents is hereby authorized to sell at cost

any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any officer of the Government having in his charge documents published for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall receive and sell them under the provisions of this section.”

In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where publications are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above quoted. Except as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The cost of paper covers is about 1c. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c. to 30c. per volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume for octavos and $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00 per volume.

WHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE

It is the apparent intention of the new printing law (approved Jan-uary 12, 1895) that the sales of public documents shall ultimately be concentrated mainly if not wholly in the office of the Superintendent of Documents. The provisions that 500 copies of each of the various departmental publications of every kind, as well as of the numbered Congressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 58); that all the accumulated documents in the Departments not needed for official use be sent to him now and annually (sec. 67); that any public officer hav-ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61);—all point to such an intention. But thus far the law has been only partially operative. Consequently many of the current documents noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not be supplied by this office, while of the ohler documents, of which many thousands are here on sale, no catalogue can be furnished. Thus the selling function of the office of the Superinten-dent of Documents is comparatively undeveloped. But its development is progressing steadily, if not rapidly, and in the fullness of time all the results contemplated in the passage of the law by which this office was created may be realized.

The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed before the passage of the new law are still in operation. They are ex-tremely varied, but it is believed that all their important features are noted in this catalogue.

CONGRESSIONAL QUOTAS

Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, varying in number, of nearly all kinds of Government publications, which are dis-tributed on their order from the Senate and House folding and document rooms. Documents can often be obtained more promptly and cheaply by application to Members of Congress than to the Departments.

HOW TO REMIT

Remittances should be made by postal money order. The Geological Survey and the War Records Office will receive currency as well as

68

postal orders if the exact amount be sent. The State Department will receive drafts on New York or Washington banks, as well as money orders or currency. None of the Departments or Bureaus will receive individual cheeks or postage stamps in payment for books.

All the Government offices which have books for sale issue price lists, which will be sent free to all applicants. The prices charged are never more than cost and 10 per cent added.

For documents not priced in this Catalogue, it is better to apply to the Bureau issuing them than to the Superintendent of Documents.

All public documents, from whatever Department or Bureau they may be bought or procured, will be forwarded to the purchaser free of postage.
