The official publications respecting Foreign Relations are the following: 1. The Diplomatic Correspondence from 1776 to 1783, edited by Jared Sparks, and originally printed in Boston, in 1823, in twelve volumes. The citations in these Notes are from a reprint, in six volumes, in Washington, in 1857, the references to which are made thus : "D. C. 1776-83."-2. The Diplomatic Correspondence from 1783 to 1789 was printed in Washington in 1837, in three volumes, and is thus referred to in the Notes: "D. C. 1783-89."-3. The correspondence from 1789 to 1828, inclusive, is collected in six folio volumes, entitled "American State Papers, Class 1, Foreign Relations." These volumes are referred to as the Folio Edition of the Foreign Relations, and are cited thus: "F. R. F."-4. No collection of papers was made between 1828 and 1861. The references during this period are therefore made to the Congressional classification of the documents, thus: Senate Executive Document, 1st Session 30th Congress, "S. E. Doc., 1st Sess. 30th Cong.," &c.; House Reports, "H. R. ;" House Miscellaneous, “H. M.," &c.-5. The correspondence which accompanied President Lincoln's and President Johnson's Annual Messages is contained in 17 volumes, and is referred to thus: "D. C. 1866, part 1," (Diplomatic Correspondence, 1866, part 1.)-6. In 1869 no papers accompanied the President's Message. Since 1869 the papers with the Annual Message have been styled (as before 1861) "Foreign Relations," and are so referred to-(as F. R., 1870, &c.)-7. From 1861 to date other papers have also been sent to Congress from time to time, and are referred to in their order in the Congressional Series.

The Statutes at Large are cited "St. at L." The Annals of Congress extend to the 2d session, 18th Congress, and are cited thus: "Annals 1st Sess. 10th Cong." The debates include the 2d Session, 18th Congress, and extend to the 2d Session of the 25th Congress, and are cited thus: "4 Debates, 2274." The Congressional Globe is cited thus: "Globe, 1st Sess. 30th Cong." The opinions of the Attorneys-General are cited thus: "1 Op. At.-Gen." The papers relating to the Treaty of Washington are referred to thus: "Pap. rel. Tr. W." They constitute the first four volumes of the House Executive Document 1, 3d Session 42d Congress, and also volumes 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the Foreign Relations for

1872.

In all cases where there is more than one volume in a series the number of the volume precedes the reference to the series, and the number of the page follows it, thus: "4 F. R. F., 250," volume 4, folio edition of the Foreign Relations, page 250.
