{"value"=>"<p>Undated autograph manuscript containing two index rerums, digesting proceedings of the Continental Congress (the predominant work), and proceedings of the New York State Legislature. Dated entries for Congressional proceedings span 1774 September-1776 April. The text of the New York proceedings lacks dates, but events noted roughly span the period 1777-1779. The works begin from opposite ends of the volume. Index headings for both works fall into three general categories: subjects, people, and places.</p> <p>Congressional index headings span C (Canada) to W (George Washington) with unsorted headings following. Entries for each heading contain the date of occurrence in Congress and a brief summary. Yates collected the information from published journals of Congress. Each entry has a coded citation: the number assigned to the journal or book, the letter B [for \"book\"; see entry for Henry Wisner], and page number. Book numbers range from 1B (1774) to 5B (1776). A random sampling of citations in <span class=\"title\">Early American Imprints, Series I: Evans (1639-1800)</span>, found correlations as follows: 1B (Evans 13737 and later edition 13738); 2B (Evans 14569); and 3B (Evans 15186). Volumes 4B and 5B refer to two separate paginations in one volume (Evans 15145), for 1776 January and 1776 February-April.</p> <p>New York index headings A (Accessories) to W (Witnesses) focus on legislative committees more so than individuals (e.g., Council of Appointment), in addition to topics and places. Entries comprise a heading, a summarized occurrence without date, and page number for an unidentified source. A sampling of paged entries conform to the published <span class=\"title\">Votes and Proceedings of the Senate of the State of New-York ... commencing September 9th, 1777</span>, Kingston and Fishkill editions, 1777 [i.e. 1777-1779] (Evans 15479 and 15480).</p>"}
