Miscellaneous communications to the General Assembly, 1777-1897.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122493462

This series consists of reports, letters, or other written information called for by act, resolution, or legislative committee. The series originated in the legislative process and was inherited from the Commons House of Assembly. It became a practical method whereby the General Assembly obtained important information. Although some of the communications are called for on an annual basis, most were irregular, submitted as called for by specific legislative act or other directive. A major source of these communications were commissioners for various state projects who were called on to report the progress and outcome of their work. An official frequently called on to report is the Comptroller General. Communications from him in this series differ from his annual reports in that they are generally less extensive and on specific subjects.

As the system progressed, the term "free school" became embarrassingly exchangeable with pauper schools, because the 1811 act carried within it a written directive that an a...
