THE TREASURY - DEPARTMENT AND ITS VARIOUS FISCAL BUREAUS, THEIR ORIGIN, ORGANIZATION, AND PRACTICAL OPERATIONS, BEING A Supplement TO THE SYNOPSIS OF TREASURY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE REVENUE LAWS AFFECTING THE COMMERCIAL AND REVENUE SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES; IN Fourteen Chapters. BY ROBERT MAYO, M. D. COMPILER OF A NEW SYSTEM OF MYTHOLOGY-AN EPITOME OF ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY-AN ANALYTICAL CHART OF THE CONSTITUTIONS OF THE SEVERAL WASHINGTON: PRINTED BY WM. Q. FORCE, 1847. DEDICATION. ΤΟ THE HON. WALTER FORWARD, THE HON. GEORGE M. BIBB, THE HON. ROBERT J. WALKER. It appears to be entirely proper that a work such as this, of which the like has scarcely IT ever been attempted under any other Government, but which would certainly have been a convenience to all, should be ushered before the public under the auspices of some patron name or names, if not as sponsors for the performance, at least as approvers of the design. Without assuming that each of you would be sponsors for the execution of the present work, there can be none to whom it could be more appropriately inscribed than to you, gentlemen, whose names I have taken the liberty to prefix to this dedication: the first, who authorized its undertaking; the second, who approved it in its progress; and the third, who extended his sanction to its completion and has favored its execution with his high commendation. I therefore beg, gentlemen, you will be pleased to accept it as a result of your several good opinions entertained of the performance of so intricate and laborious an enterprize: and permit me to assure you I shall ever be grateful for the confidence thus reposed in Your very respectful And obedient servant, ROBERT MAYO. |
