Descripción

_____ Though printed at the Congressional offices, this format was almost certainly produced for the benefit of the Democratic Senator from Iowa, George Wallace Jones._____ It was probably intended for distribution to interested Iowans. _____ The opening paragraph is signed in type by Jones and is an appeal to his constituents to understand the compromises made in the bill and is not a part of the record._____ The final page is an editorial testimonial "From the Union of May 17, 1856", again not part of the record._____ The intermediary material is a transcript of the official Senate debate._____ . _____ A fragile and uncommon booklet which shows no evidence of having been disbound from a larger volume._____ The unprinted rear "cover" is a very light weight sheet resembling paper toweling._____ There is the tiny edge of a printed slip on the spine side of the front cover._____ It offers no usable information, but could be the remains of a tipped-on slip originally containing additional introductory material from Jones. _____ Several leaves are unopened at top or bottom edges._____ . _____ The fragile and acidic rear sheet is edge chipped. _____ WorldCat (08/21) shows two holdings. _____.
