Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Philippine Commission to the President, Vol. 2
Sir: We have the honor to hand you herewith Volume II of our report, being the testimony taken by this commission during its stay in Manila.
Other volumes containing various papers on scientific, commercial, and other subjects of general interest will hereafter be transmitted. There will also be transmitted a volume of maps of the Philippine Islands prepared in Manila by direction of the commission.
We append hereto a statement signed by the commissioners, bearing date March 29, 1900, which more particularly explains the work of the commission and the contents of the papers above referred to.
Owing to the assignment of Mr. Worcester to other duties, the plan therein outlined has been to some extent departed from. Instead of original papers being furnished by him, as therein contemplated, translations have been made of various papers prepared for the com mission by the Jesuit fathers in Manila. These, together with such other papers as the commission may have to submit, will in due course be transmitted to the State Department.
