NOTE.

A comprehensive history of the Department of State would necessarily comprise several volumes. This work makes no pretension other than being simply the briefest possible outline of the development of the Department from its beginning. In the preparation of this sketch quotations have been freely made from a report to the Chief Clerk of the Department of State in 1893 by Mr. Gaillard Hunt, and full acknowledgment is hereby made to that painstaking and reliable writer of history. The chapters on the methods employed in the conduct of business in the several bureaus appear substantially as written by the chiefs of those bureaus. The data for the biographical sketches of the Secretaries has been obtained from various sources, and has been verified by the official records as far as seemed necessary. The illustrations have been secured only after much effort, and the compiler feels confident that they will be highly appreciated.

The work of the Department of State has grown apace with the development of the country, and this fact should prompt liberal appropriations for the use of the Secretary of State in carrying on the important work committed to him. The personnel and organization of the Department is as follows:

A Secretary of State.

An Assistant Secretary.

A Second Assistant Secretary.

A Third Assistant Secretary.
