NOTE.—Documents for sale by this office will be indicated by a star (*) preceding the price named. Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. When size is not given, octavo is to bo 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 bo 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, 55th Congress, 3d session, is to be understood.
Hereafter the monthly catalogue published by this office will be sent to Congress, heads of Departments, bureaus, institutions, school, public, and college libraries only; but the names of individuals now on the list will be continued until it is necessary to drop them.
This announcement is made necessary because of the impossibility of supplying the catalogue regularly to any considerable number of persons, on account of the small edition which Congress has authorized to be printed.
Price-lists of Government publications available for sale by this office will be published from time to time for general distribution to all who may apply.
The Superintendent of Documents is not authorized to supply documents free to individuals, except publications specifically authorized by Congress to be distributed to persons designated by Senators, Representatives, or Delegates. The only documents of that character now beingdistributed are the compilation entitled "Messages and Papers of the Presidents, 1787 to 1897," by Richardson, and the Official Register, or "Blue Book."
He is authorized to distribute to three classes of libraries, to be designated to him by Senators, Representatives, and Delegates in Congress.
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 is permitted to be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools and Members of Congress.
Documents for sale by this office will be indicated by a (*) preceding the price named. The absence; of a (*) indicates that application should be made to the Department, bureau, or division issuing the document.
Remittances may be made to the Superintendent of Documents by postal money order, express money order, draft, or check. In case of remittance by check the documents ordered will not be sent until after the check has been collected. Any charge for collection will be deducted from the face of the check and documents sent for the remainder. Stamps or foreign currency will not be accepted in any case.
Remittances to the Public Printer should be made by postal money order, express money order, or draft on New York. Remittances to the Geological Survey should be made by money order. The Record and Pension Office will receive currency as well as postal money orders if the exact amount be sent.
The Hydrograpic Office sells for 50c its "Catalogue of Charts, Plans Sailing Directions, and other Publications." Other Government offices which have books, pamphlets, maps, or charts 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, and frequently much less than that.
All public documents, from whatever Department or bureau they may be bought or procured, will be forwarded free of postage to all points in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. To other countries regular rates of postage are charged, and remittances must be made to include such postage.
General directions as to where documents may be procured are given in the body of the catalogue.
