Excerpt from Cases of Contested Elections in Congress, From 1834 to 1865, Inclusive The majority report is always given, and the minority report whenever the resolutions reported by the majority were overruled; as well as in some of the more important cases. The chief points in each case are stated by way of pre fix, and its history in Congress is appended to the report. The index will enable the reader to readily find not only every case, but every point raised and discussed in it. The references to documentary evidence in the reports have not been omitted, (following the example of the Massachusetts election reports and similar works, ) though that evidence is not published herewith. The references may be. Convenient in some cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
