What remain of these MSS. are now published (i. e., on pages 545-1007 of Vol. II, Doc. Hist.). A list of missing pages is also given.

"Report of the secretary of state (John Van Ness Yates) relative to the records in his office" and "A catalogue of records in the oflice of the secretary of state of New York on the 1st day of January, 1820."

"Too much can not be said in praise of this report. It is strange that it has entirely escaped the notice of historians. It needs to be read to be appreciated at its true value." (Mr. Noble.)
