Elaborate bibliographies will be found in Winsor's Narrative and Critical History, especially vols. VI. and VII., and Channing and Hart's Guide to the Study of American History. For the period from 1774 to 1788 we have the Journals of Congress, 13 vols., published contemporaneously at Philadelphia, and reprinted in 18001801. The Secret Journals, 4 vols., for the same period, form a separate series. Of collections of documents for the period prior to 1789, the most important is Force's American Archives, of which, however, only 6 vols. of the Fourth Series (1774-1776), and 3 vols. of the Fifth Series (1776), were published. Sparks's Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution, 12 vols., is valuable, but must be used with caution. The best collection is Wharton's Revolutionary Diplomatic Correspondence, 6 vols. From 1789 onward the so-called "Congressional Documents" are of primary importance. The official record of proceedings in the Senate and House of Representatives is the Journal, printed annually by each house. The Journal does not contain a report of debates. The original editions of the Journals of the earlier Congresses are now scarce; but there are reprints of those from 1789 to 1815, those of the Senate in 5 vols., those of the House in 9 vols. Certain proceedings of the Senate, omitted from the Journals as issued contemporaneously, have been published separately, from time to time, under the title of Journal of the Executive Proceedings of the Senate, sometimes cited as Executive or Secret Journals. This series, numbering 18 vols., extends to 1869. Executive proceedings of the House, to 1815, are contained in the reprint edition of the House Journals, and, usually, in the Annals of Congress. The documents of the first fourteen Congresses (1789-1817) were not issued in uniform style. From 1789 to 1801, the documents were bound with a variety of titles, such as Messages, Reports, or simply Documents. From 1801 to 1817, the binder's title is, usually, State Papers. From the 15th to the 29th Congress, inclusive (1817-1847), the documents are classified as follows: Senate Journal, Senate Documents, House Journal, House Documents, with the addition, from the 16th Congress, of House Reports of Committees; but from 1817 to 1830, the House Documents often have the binder's title State Papers, and, from 1830 to 1847, the binder's title Executive Documents. Beginning with the 30th Congress, the classification is: Senate Journal, Senate Executive Documents, Senate Miscellaneous Documents, Senate Reports of Committees, House Journal, House Executive Documents (earlier sets fre |
