Abstract

More than 39,000 state papers, dealing comprehensively and in detail with the whole range of the new American nation's vital, often controversial, and sometimes sensitive matters of domestic and foreign policy, were originally published between 1789 and 1861, seriatim and more or less currently, in the U.S. congressional imprints system, which had been established in the 1st Congress, 1789-91, and which developed and flourished without interruption through the 36th Congress of 1859-61. It is a state-paper system which has persisted up to the present day, uninterrupted and essentially unaltered in purpose, scope, and detail.
