 rREFATORY NOTE 
 
 This list is made up chiefly of references to material on the parcels 
 post question in the United States, but it includes descriptions and 
 discussions of the parcels post in the more important European coun- 
 tries. It will enable an investigator to study the situation in this 
 country and to draw lessons from the experience of other countries. 
 
 Special attention is directed to the following public documents: 
 Report of Mr. Xathan B. Williams, published as Senate Document 
 542, Sixty-first Congress, second session, item 78; consult also the 
 index under Mr. Williams's name; House Report 2180, Sixty-first 
 Congress, third session, item 65: see also item 12G. Three impor- 
 tant documents were received too late to be included in their proper 
 places in the list. They have therefore been put at the end of the 
 section devoted to books as items 81a, 81b, and 81c. These are the 
 hearings before the House and Senate committees and are of the 
 first importance in an investigation of the subject. 
 
 Debaters will find in the index under the heading United States 
 the arguments in favor and those opposed separately enumerated. ,

 participation in the Paris conference of 1880 to consider the possi-

 an Inland parcels post is discussed in the report for 1882. In 1883
