Constitution of the United States and of

FOREWORD.
The following indexes to the General Laws and to the federal and state consti-
tutions have been prepared by or under the direction of the undersigned, appointed
for that purpose by the special committee on printing the General Laws, The
material has been indexed by chapter, section and sub-section, rather than by
page. This has necessitated the abandonment of the double column page and
increased the bulk of the book; but it is probable that the greater definiteness of
reference will more than offset the inconvenience involved in handling a thicker
volume.
The chapter and section method has also the further advantage of rendering it
more feasible to insert in a master copy of the index reference to the various changes
and additions annually made by the General Court. By chapter 197 of the Acts of
1922, approved by Governor Cox, March 24, 1922, Counsel to the Senate and House
of Representatives, in connection with their duties relating to the " continuous con-
solidation of the laws", are directed "from time to time to make such additions
and revisions in the index of the General Laws as may be necessary to insure its
prompt publication in connection with future revisions of the statutes." Copies
of the index containing such additions and revisions are to be deposited, from time
to time, in the office of the state secretary or elsewhere and made available for
public use.
The advantages of these provisions are obvious. Not only are the General Laws
and their amendments and additions to be made ready for immediate re-publication
when deemed advisable, but also the index, thus avoiding a repetition of vexatious
delay in a matter so much affecting the public convenience.
Attention is called, in connection with the use of the index, to the cumulative
tables of changes in the General Laws to be found near the end of each annual
Blue Book, and to the tables of disposition of the Revised Laws and other statutes,
comprising pages cxiii to cclviii, inclusive, of volume I of the General Laws.
