Scope and Content Note

This series consists of unrelated printed material dealing with a variety of topics, including procedures to collect bounty payments, soldiers' relief funds, presidential politics, and the duties of inspectors of elections. It also includes materials relating to the State of New Jersey during the Civil War, and the thanksgiving proclamation issued by Governor Horatio Seymour in November 1863.

The Bureau of Military Statistics was not specifically authorized to collect material of this nature. However, the bureau's director, in his first annual report, described his intention to have the bureau attempt to collect anything related to the Civil War. These printed materials most likely were collected while trying to accomplish this goal.
