MONTHLY CATALOGUE.

Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office, Washington, D.C.

This Catalogue contains the titles of all the current official publications of the United States, including the reports and papers issued by Departments, Bureaus, Commissions, and other organizations of the Government; all the documents printed by order of Congress—that is to say, the Executive Documents, Reports of Committees, Miscellaneous Documents, Journals, and Debates of both Houses; and in addition, the titles of all public Acts, Treaties, and Maps.

The arrangement of the titles is alphabetical, under authors' names as regards special treatises, and under topics as regards Congressional documents. At the same time the Departments, Bureaus, Commissions, etc., are credited with the works issued under their supervision. A valuable feature of the work consists in the separate entry of every paper or contribution contained in Reports, Bulletins, or other publications of the Government. A general Index at the end of the volume.

Subscription price $5.00 per annum.

Note: All correspondence relating to the Catalogue or to the publications of the United States Government should be addressed to the publishers,

We beg to announce that we have purchased all the rights in this periodical, and will issue it hereafter regularly and promptly early in each month. Mr. Hickcox will compile and edit the work as heretofore, and no change will be made in its general character. As rapidly as the matter can be prepared we shall print all the numbers necessary to complete the back volumes and send them to the subscribers of those volumes.

The importance of this catalogue as a systematic and accurate record of the vast, varied, and important number of books and documents issued annually by Congress and the Departments must be apparent to every person who has occasion to consult such publications. The irregularity of its appearance in the past was due to want of support sufficient to pay its working expenses, and we trust that such reason may not again discourage its prompt appearance, or worse, its discontinuance entirely. The enterprise is not likely to prove very remunerative, but we hope at least to command enough patronage to repay the actual outlay of money.

W. H. LOWDERMILK & CO.

The above announcement will be gratifying to the patrons of this publication. The undersigned desires to congratulate those who having been loyal under adverse circumstances have at last a guarantee that the catalogue will hereafter reach them regularly, and that the unfinished volumes will be speedily completed. The seven years of hard, but unsuccessful, labor are in a measure redeemed through the enterprise, intelligence, and liberality of Messrs. Lowdermilk & Co. It is earnestly requested that former subscribers will promptly and cordially co-operate with the new publishers in supplying the key, and the only key to the varied and comprehensive publications of the United States government.
