Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 1851, Vol. 3: Minutes and Miscellaneous Papers, Financial Accounts and Vouchers As the critical study of the Committee, now in preparation, will consider the historical Significance of these archives, it is necessary to explain here only the manner in which they have been rendered Into print. The secretary was accustomed to fold the records like legal papers, and endorse them with a descriptive title and the date of filing. Related documents were often collected by attaching them to the relevant report, and filing the entire group under the date on which it was considered in Open meeting. This sys tem has been followed, in arranging the papers for publication, and where there is no date of filing, documents appear under the minutes to Which they pertain, when such juxtaposition seems desirable. The majority of the papers, however, were filed, and are printed, on the dates given in the text, and reference to minutes and reports has made it possible to place most of the undated material in fairly accurate position. The minutes, where they have been preserved, precede the miscellaneous papers of corresponding date, and with a few exceptions, the order of business, as recorded by the secretary, determines the sequence of the reports and communications which follow.
