COMPILED AND EDITED BY WILLIAM JONES RHAHES. IN TWO VOLUMES. Vol. I—1835-1887. TWENTY-FOURTH CONGRESS TO FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. LOO. i sgt At797 84 Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That there be printed of ‘*The Smithsonian Institution: Documents Rela- tive to its Origin and History,” 7,000 copies, of which 1,500 copies shall be for the use of the Senate, 3,000 copies for the use of the House of Representatives, and 2,500 copies for the use of the Smith- sonian Institution. Passed the Senate April 26, 1900. Passed the House May 11, 1900. (Stat., XXXT, concurrent resolutions, p. 10.) Il ADVERTISEMENT. The Smithsonian Institution is an establishment based upon the pri- vate foundation of James Smithson, a British subject, which was accepted by the United States in trust. This establishment was created by an act of Congress, under which act, with one or two unimportant modifications, it has since been governed. The United States Govern- ment has, from time to time, assigned to it important functions, and Congress has passed laws and made appropriations in support of these. While, therefore, it is a private foundation, of which the Government is trustee, it has in itself an extensive legislative history. The Board of Regents in January, 1878, requested the Secretary to prepare and publish a history of the origin and progress of the insti- tution, and, in accordance with this, a volume was published in 1879 under the title ‘* The Smithsonian Institution: Documents Relative to its Origin and History,” in which were contained the will of James Smithson, the proceedings in Congress relative to the acceptance of the bequest, the organization of the Institution, and various matters rela- tive to its operations from 1835 to 1877. A second volume relating to the history of the Institution was pub- lished in 1879, under the title ‘* The Smithsonian Institution: Journals of the Board of Regents, Reports of Committees, Statistics, etc.,” edited by William J. Rhees. At the conclusion of the first half century of the Institution, in 1896, a volume was published under the editorial supervision of the late Dr. G. Brown Goode, giving an account of the history, achievements, and present condition of the Institution, prepared by the Secretary and members of the staff of the Institution, to which were added chapters in appreciation of the work of the Institution in the several branches of knowledge. The present volume has heen undertaken to bring down to date the first historical volume mentioned, namely, the relations of the Institu- tion to Congress, debates on its management, appropriations neces- sary for operations intrusted to its care, etc., which can be found only in the volumes of the Congressional Globe and Congressional Record, the journals of the Senate and House, and the Statutes at Large. The compilation and editing of the present work has been performed under my direction by Mr. William J. Rhees, the keeper of archives, and for many years chief clerk of the Institution. : S. P. LANGLEY, Seeretary, Smithsonian Institution. ir PREPACE, The present volume is undertaken in continuation of a volume bear- ing the title ‘‘ The Smithsonian Institution: Documents Relative to its Origin and History,” prepared by the editor of the present volume, which, besides other matters, gives the legislative history of the Smith- sonian Institution to 1877. Prefixed to this will be found a selection of the documents which passed between the United States and the attorneys in England, antecedent to the actual reception of the bequest of James Smithson, a British subject, who gave his fortune to the United States of America ‘to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” This fact was communicated through the United States legation at London to the Secretary of State, and was made the subject of a special message to Congress by President Tyler on December 17, 1835. The message was referred to committees, and it was at last agreed that, although there was some doubt as to the propriety of accepting it, the bequest should be obtained, if possible, and the Honorable Richard Rush was sent to England in July, 1836, as a special agent of the United States, with power of attorney from the President to prose- cute the claim in the chancery court. The fund was brought to this country in 1838, and after eight years of debate, including consul- tation with all the leading educators of the United States at that time, a law was finally framed on August 10, 1846, ‘‘to establish the Smithsonian Institution for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” Under this act. with a few amendments, the operations of the Institution have been carried on to the present time, and a detailed account of the legislation by Congress, as well as of proposed action, from 1835 to March 3, 1899, is given in this work. The leg- islation fully accomplished is shown by acts and joint resolutions, followed in all cases by references to the volumes and pages of the Statutes at Large from which they were quoted. Concurrent resolutions of the Senate and House and separate reso- lutions of either branch of Congress are referred to by the dates of action. An account is also given of action or discussion relative to objects intrusted by Congress to the care of the Institution, and of some of Vv VI PREFACE, the operations of the Government with which it has had direct or inci- dental connection. The proceedings of each Congress are given successively, the first volume containing those of the Twenty-fourth Congress to the Forty- ninth and the second volume those of the Fiftieth to the Fifty-fifth Congress. Under each Congress the subjects are arranged according to the date of their introduction, all action in that Congress on each subject following in chronological order, excepting that estimates and appro- priations are placed at the end of each subject. In the preparation of this work an examination was made of every page of the Congressional Globe and Congressional Record, of the journals of the Senate and House, the Statutes at Large, the Con- gressional documents and reports from 1835 to 1899, together with other printed and manuscript material in the Institution and elsewhere; and the table of contents and index are as comprehensive and minute as possible the latter being alphabetical, analytical, and chronological. The formal details of legislation in most cases are abbreviated, and the quotations from the statutes giving dates and amounts appropri- ated are always given in figures and not in words. Thanks are due to the intelligent and efficient aid of Miss Helen Munroe and Mr. Edward L. Springer, of the Smithsonian Institution. Wituiam J. RHEEs. Wasuinaton, D. C., day, 1901.
