Early United States Statutes-THE STATUTES AT LARGE

THE STATUTES AT LARGE 

http://www.givemeliberty.org/docs/taxresearchcd/TaxActs/IncomeTax1921.pdf

Early United States Statutes

Published since 1845, the Statutes at Large is the official compilation of public and private laws and resolutions passed by Congress. These works are in the public domain worldwide and are not subject to copyright (see 17 U.S.C. §§ 105403). The downloadable versions of the Statutes at Large included on this page consist entirely of public domain materials to which no original expressive content has been added.


Download Links

The first forty-three volumes of the Statutes at Large are available for download through the links below. The table is organized by volume, with the volume numbers listed in the leftmost column. The other columns of the table are as follows:
  • Congress: Each two-year meeting of Congress since the ratification of the Constitution has been consecutively numbered. Most of the early volumes of the Statutes at Large incorporated records from more than one Congress.
  • Years: The years covered by the volume (in most cases, this differs from the year a given volume was published).
  • Download: links for downloading the given volume. There are two alternative formats offered and you may choose whichever better suits your needs. Both alternatives are generated from the same set of page scans and they contain the same content.
    • DjVu is a new format optimized for efficient storage of scanned images. As the examples below illustrate, DjVu consistently produces smaller file sizes than PDF. Programs to view and print DjVu-format files are available for many platforms. See, e.g.: DjVuLibreWinDjView, or LizardTech (browser plugin).
    • PDF is a familiar and widely available cross-platform format for distributing documents. Adobe Reader is a free program for viewing PDF files.
  • Text: Each of the page scans in the file was converted to text with Google's Tesseract optical character recognition (OCR) software. The output is, at a minimum, error-prone (and not infrequently gibberish); but it may nevertheless supply a useful starting point for proofreading projects. The text files for each volume, one per page, are collected in a single archive in 7zformat. A variety of programs, many of them free, are available for extracting content from 7z archives. See, e.g., 7-Zip (Windows), p7zip (MacOS, *nix).
  • Scans: The original page scans, one TIFF image per page, from which the DjVu and PDF files were generated. With a small number of exceptions, these files were generated by processing the original scans from the Library of Congress’s Statutes at Large web site with the unpaper utility. If you merely wish to browse the document, please download the DjVu or PDF versions instead. The scans are offered here for the benefit of those who may wish to perform additional processing of the scanned images to improve page quality.
  • Digest: an md5sum hash of each file in the volume. The hash may be useful if you wish to verify the integrity of a download.
  • Source: link to the source of the original page scans from which the files posted here were generated.
  • Notes: any other explanatory information about the content.

About This Page

This page began as part of an effort to promote open access to primary legal source texts. Although the Library of Congress has completed the most labor-intensive part of the task by scanning many thousands of pages and content and placing the scans online, their site permits users to load and view only a single page image at a time, which impedes easy browsing of the content. To make access easier, each volume is offered here for download as a complete whole.
All the content available on this page has been created using only free software tools, with heaviest reliance on DjVuLibreImageMagicknetpbm, and unpaper, all running under Gentoo Linux.
Feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Page History

  • 2008-05-22: initial posting of page with volumes 1–20.
  • 2008-09-18: added volumes 21–25.
  • 2008-09-25: added volumes 26–30.
  • 2008-10-09: added volumes 31–35. Volume 31 was unavailable for download from the Library of Congress. The copy of Volume 31 posted here combines scans made from a microform copy with a small number of scans made from a bound hard copy of the volume (due to incompleteness of the microform). To keep file sizes manageable, all the scans posted here have been downsampled to 300 dpi. The original source scans (at 600 dpi) are available upon request.
  • 2008-10-17: added volumes 36–40.
  • 2009-04-10: added volumes 41–43. The Library of Congress did not include complete page scans from Volume 43, Part 2. The copy of Volume 43, Part 2 posted here combines scans from the Library of Congress with scans made from a microform copy of the volume.
  • 2009-10-23: added Volume 44, Part 1. The microform copy of Volume 44 available to me is itself very poor; the creator of the microform failed to adjust the contrast settings to prevent text from the reverse side of the page being scanned from “bleeding through” into the stored image. I have cleaned up the scans to the extent possible, but the resulting page quality still leaves a good deal to be desired. The files stored here are 300 dpi scans (downsampled from the original 800 dpi output of our fiche scanner). I also have (much larger) 600 dpi scans of the same content that are available upon request.
  • 2009-11-23: added Volume 44, Part 2. As with Part 1, this volume suffers from the suboptimal quality of the original microform, although most of the pages are relatively legible owing to the larger type size used in this book. As before, I have posted 300dpi scans, with 600dpi versions available upon request.
  • 2010-04-29: added Volume 44, Part 3. Same issues with quality of source microform, although most pages are quite legible. 300dpi scans posted here, with 600dpi versions available upon request.
