HICKCOX, Editor. VOL. VIII. 1892. WASHINGTON, D.C. W. H. LOWDERMILK & CO. 1892. UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS. MONTHLY CATALOGUE. JOHN H. HICKCOX, Editor. VOL. VIII. WASHINGTON, D.C., JANUARY, 1892. No. 1. 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, W. H. LOWDERMILK & CO., 1424-1426 F STREET, WASHINGTON, D.C. 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.

Life-Size Portrait Etching of George Washington BY HENRI LE FORT, OF PARIS. This great work by the President of the French Society of Etchers has been pronounced everywhere to be a masterpiece of art. Both the French and American governments promptly gave it the stamp of their approval by becoming early purchasers. We have bought from the artist all the copies remaining in his possession, and offer them as follows: Signed Artist's Remarque Proof, on Japan paper $100.00 Ordinary Prints 18.00 HENRI LE FORT'S GEORGE WASHINGTON. Between the two windows of the late General Grant's library is a large portrait bust of Washington, engraved by Henri Le Fort, said by Mr. McLane and others to be the best presentment they had seen of the great founder of American independence. Mr. Huntington, a well-known amateur, possesses three hundred portraits of Washington, and he claims that Henri Le Fort's etching is the best. This celebrated French aquafortist obtained the following rewards: A medal at the Paris Salon in 1881; a medal at the Boston Exposition in 1883; a diploma of honor at Caen.; a medal at Amsterdam, and one this year at Antwerp. All these medals were awarded on HENRI LE FORT'S LIFE-SIZE ETCHING OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.--_Daily News_ (_Philadelphia_), _December 18, 1885_. Life-Size Portrait Etching of Christopher Columbus. BY F. FOCILLON, OF PARIS. This is a companion picture to Le Fort's Washington by Le Fort's great rival, whose etchings are well known in America. His work has not quite the boldness of Le Fort, but it excels in attention to fine detail, and has received unqualified approval from critics. There have been printed twenty-five special remarque proofs and 100 double remarque proofs on parchment. Later on will be printed 100 remarque proofs on Japan paper and 500 on Holland paper.

Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. 1.F. 1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. 1.F.2.

If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. 1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. Section 3.

Newby Chief Executive and Director gbnewby@pglaf.org Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: http://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
