† Of each of these, 20,000 copies were ordered by Congress and 5,000 put at the disposal of the Bureau.
‡ As to this, the congressional action was: The House had voted for 20,000 copies of this Report, and when the Senate, on economical grounds, made it 5.000, the House, adhering to its first vote, called for a committee of conference, and only yielded after much effort to secure the larger number. The following is the resolution finally adopted : "Resolved, That there be printed, of the Report of the Commissioner of Education for l873,5,000 copies, of which 2,500 copies shall be for the use of the Commissioner and 2.500 shall be for sale by the Congressional Printer at the cost of paper and press-work, with an addition of 10 per cent." This makes the price to purchasers only 68 cents for a volume of 1,048 pages, the postage on which is, tinder the new law, but 10 cents.
