Excerpt from A Biographical Congressional Directory With an Outline History of the National Congress, 1774-1911: The Continental Congress, September 5, 1774-October 21, 1788; The United States Congress, From the First to the Sixty-Second Congress, March 4, 1789-March 3, 1911 N O effort seems to have been made to keep a history Of Congress, or a directory of its Members, prior to 1820. In that year the first publication approaching the dignity Of a congressional directory appeared, compiled and printed by Daniel Rapine, Agent. It is a Small volume Of some forty pages and contains the names Of the Members Of Congress, with home and Washington addresses; the assignments Of Members to committees; the names and local addresses Of the heads Of the executive departments; an imperfect list Of American ministers in foreign countries, and an alphabetical list Of Washington boarding houses. This publication with others similar appeared from time to time, as the succeeding sessions Of Congress were held. They were purely private enterprises and depended upon sales and advertisements for their existence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
