Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of Applications and Recommendations for Office: During the Presidency of George Washington Most of the applications and recommendations for office received by the President are sent by him to the several Executive Departments of the Government, and those that he retains do not become a part of the Governments archives. When the Government was first organized under the Constitution the Department of State performed a variety of domestic functions, some of which have since, in the development of government machinery, been assigned to other Departments. Territorial affairs, the census, and patents, now under the Department of the Interior, were within its jurisdiction, and it was the medium through which much of the business now under the Department of Justice was transacted. It would appear also that many applications for offices under the Treasury Department were referred to it. The applications and recommendations for office during the Adminstration of George Washington, of which a calendar is given here, form a part of the archives of the Bureau of Appointments of the Department of State. Not included in this calendar are a few similar papers among the domestic archives in the Bureau of Indexes and Archives, and still fewer among the collections of historical manuscripts in the Bureau of Rolls and Library. There are no similar archives for the same period in any other Department of the Government. In many cases the papers contain a statement of the service in the Revolution of the candidates for office. They also throw strong historical side lights upon the men and events of the time. They show what were considered as good reasons for requesting executive office, and may be taken as a fair index of popular opinion on this subject. The papers may be grouped under five heads.
