REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 



The very inadequate return for the great number of documents sent out is in part 

 undoubtedly due to the fact that uo other country publishes on such a lavish scale 

 as our own. Direct solicitation made by a special representative to the governments 

 with Avhich the Institution are in correspondence would also probably result in a 

 considerable increase to the library of Congress. 



The exchange on account of Government bureaus is shown in detail in the follow-
