Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Description of Federal Public Documents

One of the first things which a person assigned to document work should do is to read with the greatest care the introduction to this volume, and from that to proceed to a study of the plan upon which it is constructed.

This knowledge is acquired through a study of the Check list, accompanied by actual practice with the docu ments themselves. Familiarity with their contents c-omes imperceptibly with time and use.
