United States Registered Mail Bibliography by Subject and Author

Version 3.0

Like all bibliographies, this continues to be a work in progress. This newest version cites 268 works by 122 authors; a 28% increase over the previous version. They have been assigned to 51 different subjects (several works are listed under multiple subjects). Two U.S. Patents are included for the first time.

The bibliography will be updated once or twice per year depending upon the number of additional citations and corrections received. Please send additions, corrections, and suggestions to me at dls@wustl.edu

Two aspects of Subject Bibliography particularly require assistance:

· The subject "Unknown" contains 18 listings; down from 23 in the previous version. These are citations given to me without an indication of their subject matter. Not owning a copy myself to examine, they have been listed this way in hopes that someone will supply the missing information.

· Two subjects have been created to reflect particular time periods “pre-1855” and “1855-1867.” I think that some other chronological divisions might be helpful and would welcome suggestions along with a rationale for your scheme.

The underlying database is maintained in ProCite 3.1 and converted to a Word document saved in html format for FTP transfer.
