UPON the completion of the printing of the first volume of this Report, devoted to Commer- cial Digests, and before the printing of the second volume, devoted to Comparative Tariffs, could be commenced, it became known, that, since the preparation of the work, material modifi- cations had taken place in the tariffs of some foreign nations, and complete changes had been made, or were about to be made, in those of others ; while similar modifications and changes had been proposed in Congress in the tariff of the United States. In view of these facts, the Superintendent of the Report, after consultation with the late Secretary of State, deemed it advisable to cause the printing of the Tariff volume to be pretermitted until after the publica- cation of the Consular Returns, by which time the changes in foreign tariffs and those in the tariff of the United States, it was believed, would have been determined, when, in accord- ance with the resolution of the House authorizing such corrections and additions to be made as, in the course of printing the Report, might be deemed of sufficient importance, these changes could be noted, so far as practicable, as the volume passed through the press. It was also considered that the printing of the Returns, consisting chiefly of letter-press, could be proceeded with more rapidly than that of the Tariffs, consisting almost entirely of tabular statements, and thus a larger portion of the Report, and a portion not liable to modification, yet very desirable for immediate publication, could be laid before the country within a certain period of time. The two volumes containing the Returns have been, therefore, as speedily as consistent with their proper preparation, printed and published; and the Tariff volume will follow, in like manner, to complete the Report.
