INTRODUCTION

T

H E F I R S T V O L U M E in this series announced that outside indexers would prepare "temporary indexes" from time to time, each covering several volumes of the edition. T h e "permanent index" was to be a corrected, cumulated version of these. T h e most important point in this announcement was that the Editors themselves did not intend to prepare any indexes until all the volumes in this enterprise had appeared. Moreover, it was hoped that users of the periodic indexes would notify the Editors of errors and supply missing in­ formation. T h e result promised a better final index while allowing the Editors to focus their efforts on publishing the all-important documents. T h e plan did not work. Julian Boyd readily admitted that his decision to forgo singlevolume indexes was his greatest error in designing the series. His confidence in the public's willingness and ability to notify the edi­ torial office of errors and omissions proved to be unfounded. A l ­ though readers faithfully reported occasional errors in the docu­ ments, very few if any ever pointed out flaws in the indexes. One might have expected a specialist on the Continental Congress to have noted that the index entry for "Speaker of Congress" was in error, since Congress had no such position, and one would have hoped that the reader would have written the Editors about it. It is possible, of course, that users did not read the request for cor­ rections in the foreword to the first index. It is also likely that the temporary indexes have been used very little. The greatest problem seems to be the physical design of the indexes. Because they were meant to be temporary, they were softbound, printed in a typewriter typeface, and were often less than one-fourth the thickness of the regular volumes. Consequently, on many library shelves the indexes were lost or easily misplaced. More importantly, if one happened to be off the shelf for any reason, no guide was available for the six volumes it covered. B y the time the first index appeared, ten volumes of the Papers were in print. Con­ sidering the handicaps inherent in the original indexing design, it is an indication of the attraction and fundamental importance of Thomas Jefferson, as well as a tribute to the impressive editorial ability of Julian Boyd and his associates, that the first twenty vol­ umes in this series have been so widely used. A change of editors after this milestone presented the opportunity to correct an old error and to immerse a new staff in the previously edited materials in preparation for editing the remaining documents. [vii]

I N T R O D U C T I O N

T h i s volume represents the successful completion of that goal and is the first of the periodic "permanent" indexes now expected to appear after each decimal volume of the Papers. In addition, each single volume of the Papers will henceforth contain an index pre­ pared by the Editors. I T h e decision to prepare a comprehensive cumulative index for twenty volumes of Jefferson's papers might not have been made had there been no foundation on which to build. T h e need to assemble a staff to carry on the editorial work begun by Julian Boyd and to meet the financial crisis caused by drastically reduced federal support for the project left little time to devote to the preparation of index cards covering the 13,650 pages published thus far. A s promised in the first temporary index, dozens of cartons of 3 x 5 cards were dutifully preserved in the editorial office, taking up needed space and gathering dust. T o have set about merging those cards and then checking them against the volumes to make necessary correc­ tions, additions, and improvements would have taken several years. Fortunately, the relatively recent recognition by computer scientists that their machines are adaptable to words as well as numbers sug­ gested a method that has great appeal to the new Editor of Jefferson's papers. T h e preparation of programs that could sort the thousands of entries already identified in the temporary indexes would lessen the time required to make a new index sufficiently to justify its undertaking. T h e plan finally adopted required learning what had already been indexed on each page in each volume, adding names and subjects missed, and correcting erroneous entries. T h e Editors had the tem­ porary indexes read by a Kurzweil Optical Scanner and then ran the index through D E I N D E X , a special program that produced a separate record for every entry from every page—the equivalent of more than 100,000 index cards. These records were arranged in volume and page order and served as the foundation of this volume. T h e Editors next spent several months comparing each printed page with the index entries listed for that page, stopping when the indexer had entered "Prentis, M r . " to determine which M r . Prentis was intended, whether the subject indexed was actually what the writer had referred to, and adding entries the first indexers had missed. T h e Editors also prepared original indexes for volumes 19 and 20, [ viii ]

I N T R O D U C T I O N

which were published after the compilation of the third temporary index in 1973. After this review, the separate files were merged in the Princeton University Computer using C I N D E X , a series of programs prepared for The Papers of Henry Laurens at the University of South Carolina. T h e resulting twenty-volume cumulative index appeared in a matter of minutes and comprised 3,000 manuscript pages. T h e Editors spent the next several months editing the copy; subentries from early and late volumes that now appeared to be related were com­ bined, and entries that seemed inappropriate were removed. Then C U M T Y P E , the last program in the C I N D E X package, automat­ ically inserted typesetting codes. T h e result, after a full year's effort, is a comprehensive guide to the vast amount of material spread over the first twenty volumes.

II Main entries in this index appear in alphabetical order, but the subentries follow a different arrangement. References to letters to or from Thomas Jefferson always come first. A l l other subentries appear in sequential volume and page order, except for references collected under the general heading "mentioned," which always follow other subentries. Subentries for "correspondence with" an individual refer to letters between the person named as the main entry and the individual identified in the subentry; the letters in­ volved may be printed, quoted, or simply cited in documents or notes. T h e Editors have attempted to identify fully those individuals who appeared in the temporary indexes by last name only. I n a few instances, a main entry contains so many subentries that it has proven expedient to categorize them under a few general subentries. Such subentries appear in alphabetical order, with their sub-subentries listed in sequential order. T h e Editors have made no systematic attempt to prepare new subject entries in this index. As revision of the three temporary indexes progressed, it became apparent that coverage of some sub­ jects was uneven. T h e second index contained references to "farm implements," but neither the first nor the third indexer included references to these. Similarly, the first indexer collected references to Indian languages under "Indians: vocabulary"; the second listed no references to language under "Indians" but added a main entry specifically for "Indian languages"; the third indexer used a main [ix]

I N T R O D U C T I O N

entry for "languages: Indian." These obvious differences have been corrected, but the Editors did not attempt to review volumes 1 through 6 and 13 through 20 for "farm implements" when they discovered that subject in the index for volumes 7 through 12. In some cases unevenly covered subjects were deleted from the final index unless they seemed sufficiently important to be of use. Readers are cautioned, however, that such subject references are incomplete. One cannot look at the entry for "speech, freedom of: T J comments on, 16: 45," for example, and assume that the topic appears in the twenty volumes only once. T h e Editors retained this reference be­ cause of its potential use to someone interested in the topic; they did not attempt to locate other references, although there is little question that others exist somewhere in the volumes printed thus far. Many single entry and some multiple entry subject categories included in the old indexes were deleted completely. Such an entry as "sick: removal to safety in case of V a . invasion, 3: 240" was removed because the subject is covered adequately in other entries, and the Editors considered it inappropriate for a main entry in any case. A n entry under "geography: Martha asked to trace T J ' s jour­ ney on map" seemed misleading; it is covered under another, more appropriate subject and was therefore omitted. Some misleading subentries were modified for clarity: under Jefferson, Journeys, "Havre: looks for dog and sees suicide," "peas: come with straw­ berries," and "generals: Congress orders one sent to Canada" were among those that required rewording. T h e three individuals who compiled the temporary indexes employed a literal approach to the documents, perhaps because they were not historians. Eighteenthcentury letters often contain metaphors that must be recognized for accurate indexing. T h e old reference to "military school: proposed by V a . delegate to Congress" proved to be such a case. T h e writer was in fact referring to Boston at the outbreak of the Revolution as a good place for young men to be schooled in military skills. T h e Editors hope they have recognized and corrected all such occur­ rences. It is the Editors' premise that no single index can serve everyone who will want to consult The Papers of Thomas Jefferson as long as this edition survives on the shelves. T h e changing interests of read­ ers, especially historians and the many other professionals who make use of this edition, suggest that sometime in the future another index will be required. As Julian Boyd wrote in the introduction to the first index, we hope that anyone who discovers errors herein will [x]

I N T R O D U C T I O N

relay them to the Jefferson Office so that they may be noted and used later by anyone who might want to assemble a revision to this and other indexes in the series. T h e computer files for each volume will remain in storage for such an eventuality.

Ill The Editors have been assisted in this undertaking by several persons to whom it is a pleasure to express thanks. Michael K . Donegan devised the computer program that first broke up the temporary indexes into card images that could then be sorted into page order records. His willingness to prepare this first program and his encouragement of the Editor's interest in using computers for this task are largely responsible for bringing this volume into being. David R . Chesnutt designed and Jean W. Mustain wrote the series of programs called C I N D E X that enabled the Editors to obtain new and revised single-volume indexes that were subse­ quently merged into one index. We are greatly indebted to them for sharing those programs and hope that our experience with them has been of some benefit in perfecting C I N D E X . The staff of the Princeton University Computer Center, especially Hannah Kaufman, Howard Strauss, Victor Bearg, and Gary Burns, provided expert assistance with various computer programs, making them work as the Editors needed them to and writing modifications when they were required. In the editorial office, the Editors have benefited from the work of E . Wayne Carp, the fellow in advanced historical editing assigned to this project by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. M r . Carp worked on the index for volume 20 and assisted in the copyediting of the final manuscript, and we thank him for his many contributions. Finally, we appreciate the moral support offered by many people as we tired of the task of editing index entries. They reinforced our belief in the fundamental importance of this volume to users of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, a conviction that has sustained us for the past year. Our delight in seeing it in print will be well understood by anyone who has tried to use this edition without a cumulative, consistent index and by anyone who has ever had a hand in preparing one.
