 PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 TMs index undertakes to deal only with the printed reports of administrative 
 officers, legislative committees, and special commissions of the states and with governors' 
 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 aU the documents and messages which fall within its scope, in 
 whatever form they have been published, whether separately, in collected dociunents, 
 legislative journals or volumes of laws, and to indicate the volume in which they may 
 be found. In addition to furnishing a list of reports and messages, the index imder- 
 takes to supply a reference by volmne and page to all material of economic impor- 
 tance which they contain. 
 
 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 wiU constitute a useful addition to the resources of students of 
 almost any aspect of American history. 
 
 It will 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 dociunents; but in the field which the present 
 work covers it contains not only a more complete list of docmnents than has hitherto been 
 published but also an index of their contents in so far as these have an economic bearing. 
 
 The arrangement is alphabetical by topics. The references under each topic are 
 divided into two groups, viz., *' serial " and " non-serial." Within each of these divi- 
 sions the arrangement is chronological. Numerous cross-references will, it is hoped, 
 make it possible to discover with little difficulty aU the material bearing on a topic. A 
 division of serial reports into more than one series occurs whenever there is a change in 
 title, in the authority making the report or in frequency of issue. It wiU be seen that 
 this division is not an arbitrary one. It is made in the behef that it wiU contribute to 
 a clearer understanding of the facts than would 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 his- 
 torical development of an economic subject as reflected in the documents of an indi- 
 vidual state but also to make a comparative study of that development as it has taken
 
 PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 place in the country at large. To accomplish this purpose it has been necessary to 
 make the selection of entry words without reference to the peculiarities of local usage, 
 such peculiarities 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 
 references from locality. This feature has been made a part of the succeeding issues. 
 
 Another change of importance, namely, the addition to the list of topics of the 
 names of those persons who have exercised an important influence on the develop- 
 ment of the economic life of the state, was introduced in the Ohio part of this index, 
 and has been retained in the following parts, viz., New Jersey and the present volume. 
 In other respects this voliune follows the form of its predecessors. While this introduc- 
 tion of the names of persons into the body of the index is admittedly an innovation, it is 
 believed that it will be distinctly helpful to the student. 
 
 Difficulties which have delayed the completion of this volume of the index were 
 chiefly due to the great amount of material to be examined, as well as to the extremely 
 crude maimer in which the collected docmnents were for many years made up. Although 
 every reasonable effort has been made to find these documents, some have without doubt 
 escaped the notice of the compiler. In order to make this early record as complete as pos- 
 sible, the Senate and House journals were read for orders to print, and entries have been 
 made for all items which were found to have been ordered printed, although no copy may 
 have been found. The " not found " note attached to these items in the index does not 
 signify that there may not be copies in some of the libraries examined. Although every 
 facility was most generously extended the compiler by the libraries, there is in every 
 library uncatalogued material, in particular pamphlets, and variations in shelf arrange- 
 ment, etc., which preclude a definite statement in any event. A second difficidty is the 
 existence to an unknown extent of German editions of the House and Senate journals, 
 legislative documents and of many executive reports. In the first 30 days of 1845, for 
 instance, thirteen executive reports were ordered printed in German, 500 copies being 
 printed in each case with one exception, viz., the governor's message of which 1000 
 copies were ordered printed. 
 
 The present volume has been preceded by twelve similar volumes, devoted to the 
 states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, 
 California, Illinois, Kentucky, Delaware, Ohio and New Jersey, respectively. It will 
 be followed by others, each devoted to a single state. The work when completed will, 
 therefore, furnish an index to the economic material in the reports and governors' mes- 
 sages of all the states of the Union. 
 
 In the preparation of this volume the collection of the New York PubUe Library 
 has been used as a basis, and, unless otherwise shown, the material indexed is in that 
 library. The collections of the Library of Congress, the Pennsylvania State Library,

 Company of Philadelphia, the Library of the University of Pennsylvania, the Mercantile 
 Library of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State Library, the Library of the American 
 Philosophical Society, the German Society of Pennsylvania, the Lancaster County His- 
 torical Society, and Columbia University Library have also been examined. Grateful 
 acknowledgment is made for courtesies extended by each of these institutions in the 
 course of the compilation of the present volmne.

 • The Identiflcation of the Senate Journals for 1805/0 and 1806/7 
 is apt to be confusing if the appendices are taken Into consideration. 
 The dllliculty results from the failure of binders of late years to note 
 that the Reports of the Treasurer and the Register General for 
 1805/6 were not published In connection with the Senate Journal; 
 In one Instance (Ilist. Socy. of Penn.) they have been bound with 
 the Journal for 1805/6, an Impossibility of course in the original 
 edition: In another Instance (New York Public l^lbrary), they are 
 bound with the Senate Journal for 1806/7, which Is ™"<'i't 5" 
 far as date is concerned. However, copies of the Journal for 18UB/ ( 
 seen In the llbrarv of the Library Company of I'hila., In the Hist. 
 Socy. of I'enn., and In the Penn. State Library contain an appendix 
 as noted, viz. : 22, 33 pp. . ^ , 
 
 In regard to the German edition the following entries were noted : 
 (1) Letter from H. Grimier. sollcltluR the Legisl. to have prtd. in 
 German the rept. of the finances. (Sen. Jol. 1806/7:70.) (.!) 
 Rept of the committee to whom was referred the above : repts. re- 
 ferred to have been uniformly printed in German until within two 
 years: res. offered that the prtr. of the German Jol. be directed to 
 print and attach to the Jols. copies of state treasurers and register 
 general's repts. for the year 1806-7 [1805-6'(]. (Sen. Jol. 1806/7: 
 98-99.)

 way connected with public administration of sub- 
 ject, by ann. apprn. should be repealed; the interest 
 should have but one head, state bd. of agric. and 
 apprns. be made to that bd. alone: agric. bd. should 
 have exclusive control of publication of agric. repts.; 
 " agric. socy. is a private corporation conducted 
 with a view to the private profit of its stockholders, 
 most or many of whom are capitalists and farmers 
 of large wealth, who are principally concerned in 
 the refinements of agric, fancy stock-raising, and 
 the development of fleet horses, rather than the 
 practical concerns of every-day farming. Such an 
 Institution is well enough in its sphere, and to be 
 commended as a private enterprise; but as the state 
 has a dept. of its own devoted to this subject, what- 
 ever public money is spent for this purpose should 
 
 AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES: INDIVIDUAI^confd

 be spent through the recognized public channel. 
 By dividing the resources intended for this interest, 
 the state bd. is deprived of a part of the means which 
 should legitimately go to its support . . ." (Govs,

 ** The Phila. Sooy. for promoting agric, with its auxil-

 agric. socy. in the co. It is not, however, properly 
 speaking a co. socy. having been organized iii 
 1785, and being then, and for sometime thereafter, 
 the only agric. socy. In the Union. Its field of use- 
 fulness was widely extended, and it included among 
 its members most of the prominent Amer. and 
 many of the European agriculturists of the day. 
 As . . . new socys. sprang up in this and other 
 states, it lost its national character; and when, 
 mainly through the exertions of its members, the 
 Penn. State Socy. was organized, the circle of its 
 immediate Influence became further contracted. It 
 still has upon its roll, members in Md., I)el. and 
 N. J., and In Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Dela-

 PENNSYLVANIA 
 
 Early In the year 1789 recommendations for a general 
 system of Inland navigation were made by both the 
 Supreme Executive Council and the Legislature of 
 Penn. : Apr. 13. 1791. a law was passed appropriat- 
 ing sums for Improving the navigation of certain 
 rivers and constructing certain roads with view 
 to connecting " the eastern and western waters of 
 the state " — an object finally accomplished by the 
 Penn. CTanal. The Improvement of river naviga- 
 tion by removal of obstructions, erection of water- 
 locks, etc.. and the numerous surveys and explora- 
 tions during the period 1789-1824 were the experi- 
 mental measures out of which developed the state 
 svstem of internal Improvement designated by act 
 of Feb. 25, 1826, " The Pennsylvania Canal." 
 (See below. Canals and Slack-Water Navigation: 
 Individual— State.) 
 
 For the reason that the early river improvements were 
 largely along the lines later Included In the state 
 system of internal improvement and are considered 
 as inaugural steps in the development of that 
 system, a large part of the material relating to 
 Improvement of navigation of rivers and other 
 streams has been classified here, in preference to 
 River Conservancy, or Public Works, headings 
 used In preceding Indexes for this kind of material. 
 
 The greatest Incentive to improvements In Inland navi- 
 gation in Penn. was Its natural adaptability. 
 Among the Influential factors in development may 
 be noted (1) The Society for the Promotion of 
 Internal Improvement of Road and River Naviga- 
 tion, formed In 1789 ; a memorial of this Society to 
 the Legislature, Feb. 7, 1791. recommended a line 
 of public works which was practically developed In 
 the state system of public works ; reprints of their 
 memorials to the Penn. Legisl. are Included in 
 Amer. State Papers. Misc. v. 2. pp. 834, et seq. 
 (2) Improvements In neighboring states. (3) The 
 many private canal and slack-water navigation com- 
 panies which had been Incorporated and were 
 in active operation before the state system was 
 definitely located. The success of these companies 
 was a strong argument for the establishment of 
 a state work as a source of revenue. Moreover it 
 was thought that the possible combination of these 
 companies might prove a dangerous monopoly. 
 (4) The Penn. Society for the I'romotion of In- 
 ternal Improvements, formed in 1824. did much to 
 bring about state legislation on Internal Improve- 
 ment : their publications being unofficial It has 
 not been possible to Introduce them into this 
 Index ; an excellent collection of their addresses, 
 petitions and sundry publications Is In the library 
 of the Library Co. of Phlla. The Society In- 
 directly promoted the Canal Convention held at 
 Harrisburg. Aug. 4-6, 1825, which adopted a resolu- 
 tion favoring Internal Improvements to connect 
 the Susquehanna and the Allegheny and Ohio, 
 and from the Allegheny to Lake Erie.

 Note: Throughout this series there Is much variation 
 between the departmental and document editions, 
 and, In some cases, between the Senate and House 
 departmental editions. Unless stated to the con- 
 trary, departmental editions from 1828/9 to 1857/8 
 do not include accompanying documents nor the 
 Journal. The accompanying documents are in- 
 cluded In the document editions up to and Including 
 1842/3. The Journal of the board of canal commis- 
 sioners has been listed separately (Group B) from 
 the annual report, though It Immediately follows 
 that report as printed in the Senate and House 
 Journals ; it occurs In the departmental edition of 
 the annual report in 1827 and 1827/8 only. 
 
 On account of the varying pagination and contents of 
 the different editions, a particular effort has been 
 made in indexing the reports to Indicate the edition 
 from which taken and whether found in that edition 
 alone ; the report proper of the canal commissioners 
 occurs In all editions, and, as a rule is paged 
 uniformly.

 •' The name of the mine is omitted for obvious rensons," 
 
 •' The number of miners in this, ns well as in other 
 
 districts, is always greater at each mine than is 
 
 really necessary for the proiluction of coal needed 
 
 by tiie operator .... the result is that the men's 
 
 earnings are very small In consequence of 
 
 this one of the managers resolved that he would 
 employ only enough men to give him the amt. of 
 coal he needed daily, and he did so and kept an 
 acct. of the men's earnings for the whole yr., and
