With the publication of volumes 21 and 22, Johns Hopkins University
Press completes the Documentary History of the First Federal
Congress, 1789-1791, a comprehensive edition that presents the
official records (volumes 1-8) and the unofficially reported
debates (volumes 9-14) of this essential congress, as well as eight
volumes of correspondence. These letters and other documents bring
the official record to life, illustrating the often informal
political negotiations of a young nation's earliest leaders and
revealing the world they lived in. Volume 21 begins with a section
describing the move to Philadelphia's Congress Hall. Third Session
correspondence, arranged chronologically from November 1790 to
March 1791, when Congress officially concluded its business,
follows. Several key and potentially divisive issues-including a
national bank, a tax on domestically produced spirits, and the
final location of the permanent seat of the federal
government-occupied the time and attention of Congress during this
short session. In addition, reports of a successful attack on US
troops by Native Americans in the Northwest Territory were the
impetus for moves to increase the size of the military while
continuing to negotiate with the Indian nations. Volume 22 is
unique among the correspondence volumes in that it is topical. It
begins with a section of firsthand accounts about Congress that
were written after it adjourned, some as late as the 1840s. This is
followed by sections of documents relating to the 1790 Treaty of
New York with the Creek Nation and its aftermath, as well as the
experience of FFC incumbents during the second federal election.
The final section includes letters and other documents dated 1789
to 1791 that the editors discovered after the publication of the
volume in which they would have otherwise appeared. The documents
gathered here include selections from a book of poems by
Representatives Thomas Tudor Tucker and John Page, and Page's wife,
Margaret Lowther, as well as listings from the New York Society
Library's ledger that recorded book loans to members in 1789 and
1790, when Congress met in New York City's Federal Hall. The final
volume concludes with an extensive editorial apparatus, including
the biographical gazetteer and index for the two-volume set. This
extensive index continues the editors' policy of indexing all
concepts to provide intellectual access.

economy. With the current state of US-China relations and Hong
