3. — Exchange of government docuihents. 



In 18G8 Congress passed a resolution establishing a system of gov- 

 ernment exchanges under the charge of the Librarian of Congress, who 

 invited the co-operation of the Smithsonian Institution by placing the 

 management of this system in the hands of the Secretary. 



A large quantity of public documents having accumulated at the In- 

 stitution, it became necessary, in October, 1874, to address a circular to 

 a number of governments, explaining the object of such a sj^stem of 

 exchanges and inviting their co-operation. 



The governments to whom this proj)osition was made were those of: 

 Argentine Kepublic, Austria-IIungary, Belgium, Brazil, Chili, Den- 

 mark, France, German Empire, Great Britain, Guatemala, Hawaii,Italy, 

 Hayti, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Pus.sia, Salvador, 

 Spain, Sweden and Norway, Turkey, United States of Colombia, and 

 Venezuela.
