Excerpt from Journal of Social Science, Vol. 11: Containing the Transactions of the American Association, May, 1880

The Papers printed in this Number complete the list of such as have been selected for publication from those read at the Saratoga Meeting in 1879, some of the omitted papers being withheld from publication at the request of the authors, and the rest for other reasons. It has never been the custom of the Association to print all the Papers read at its meetings, or to give more than an abstract of the discussions. The present Number also completes the publication of what was promised the subscribers to the Publication Fund of 1879. It is marked No. X1. In the series, the preceding Number, published in December, 187 9 having been erroneously marked No. IX, when it should have been No. X. Members who have the number published in December, 187 9 will please note this correction, and those, if any, who have not received the number can do so upon notifying the Assistant Secretary, Walter Channing, M. D., Brookline, Mass.

An explanation is due to the writers of Papers read at the Saratoga Meeting of 1877, which the Executive Committee pro posed to print in the winter following. The necessary arrangement was made with a publisher, and a selection from the papers was placed in the hands of an editor who had undertaken to bring them out. For some reason he failed to perform his undertaking, and yet retained the manuscripts so long in his possession that it was impossible to comply with the understanding upon which the publication was to be made. Two of these Papers, those of Prof. Amos and Prof. Baldwin, are included in the present number. The others have been recalled by the writers.
