Reprint of the original, first published in 1893.

Excerpt from Digest of Decisions of the Second Comptroller of the Treasury, Vol. 3: From 1884 to 1893 The decisions of this office during the period mentioned have been numerous and important, and an examination thereof, so as to present the same briefly and accurately, has been a work of considerable time and labor. I am satisfied that this Digest embraces such of the decisions of the Second Comptroller during the last eight years as are now in force, and that it can be fully relied upon. My special acknowledgments are due to Mr. Josiah Quincy Kern, having charge of the preparation of this Digest, for thoroughness in compilation, in the arrangement of the manu script, and in indexing the book; also to Mr. Edward I. Renick for compilation of the sections pertaining to the work of the Miscellaneous Claims, Army Paymasters, and Navy Divisions.
