Boston, March 27. 1SG3.

i certify that I have examined the fonn of a Book, prepared by Mr. George Ccolidgo. for the use of the Clerks of Cities and Towns, inider the "Act to jirosevvc a Record cf our Soltliers and Officers," passed March 7, ISOI), and heheve it to he well adapted to the purpose, and worthy i^f the attention of Town Officers.

PLAN OF THIS RECORD.

The Book is planned to comprise as many names as appear on the enrolled Militia list.

On the blank line in the Title-page write the City or Town, County, and State. {^Example: "The Town of Adams, in Berkshire County, Massachusetts."]

If the Record consists of more than one volume, on page 2 of volume 1 write the numerical designation of each additional volume ; and also the same in the title-page of each added volume.

The signatures of the City or Town Clerks, on page 2 of volume 1, as indicated by the blank forms, is regarded as a proper form of authentication of the Record. Those Clerks only are to sign their names, during whose terms of office entries are made in the Record.

THE ALPHABETICAL Iin)EX TO NAMES.

A lettered Index, in separate binding, is supplied with this book, in which to copy from the Record, alphabetically, the names of Soldiers and Officers, and of Seamen and Officers, and the pages on which the names are recorded. Write the surname first, and place the name in the Index under the initial letter of the surname. \_Examplc : Smith, John — 117." Place it in the Index under letter S.]

The pages next following this page are designed for the transcript of the lettered Index. Copy the names beginning with A, and leave blank the remainder of the column in which they end. Commence names beginning with B at top of the next column ; and so proceed with the other alphabetic letters. If no name occurs with which to commence an alphabetic column of names, leave the column blank. Should future calls for men be issued, such names may occur, and require their proper place. In case more men are called for, and their names will not come into their alphabetic columns in the Index, write on the last line of the full column in this manner : "Letter A is continued on page 17," etc., and continue the names accordinglj'.

No distinction between the names of Military and Naval men should be attempted in the Index, tliey being classified under their Military or Naval character in the Record.

The lettered Index, after being copied into this book, may be laid in the front of the book and used with fiicihty in referring to names, without detriment to the Record in case it should be defaced or lost ; it being originally written only as the most convenient method for recording the index in the record volume, not for mere use as a duplicate.

THE MILITAEY AND NAVAL EEOOEDS.

The "marks designating sources of information," are designed for use only when the Recorder may consider it desirable to use them, and not for use in all entries made in the Record.

The space between each two horizontal red lines is designed for the record of one person. The Example below will illustrate the plan of making the entries in the Record.

The regiment is to be construed as a Massachusetts regiment, unless otherwise stated.

Should the space of three lines, allowed for each person's record on the right hand page, ever prove inadequate for the purpose, write at the end of the third line, "Continued on page — ," and continue the required entries on a page at the end of the printed leaves.

Alphabetical arrangement is impossible, except in the Index at the beginning, as it may be necessary to add names to the list at future times. Any classification by Regiments is also impossible, as the progress of the war occasions many changes in this respect.

The Statute requires that the Record shall comprise the names of those composing the " quota" of the city or town. In cases where surplus men of some towns are assigned to the quotas of other towns, it is recommended that they be also recorded in the Records of those towns in which they have their residence, on whose "Roll of Honor"' their names and services should certainly appear. No confusion, it is considered, of any important consequence, can result from this procedure.
