note on reprint in selecting copies of the journal of the constitutional convention of 1850-1851 for use in making this reprint two variant printings were found no intimation of a second edition or of a second printing has been discovered in titles pages in the proceedings of the convention in the records of the general assembly which passed upon the expenses of printing and binding or in tradition five hundred copies seem to have been printed without any recorded interruption by the printer to the convention austin h brown indianapolis it is apparent however that after a number of copies had been run off some changes were made before the remaining copies were printed and that both groups were bound and distributed variations between the twp groups while numerous are so far as ascertained of little or no significance the official manuscript journal preserved in the office of the secretary of state has been compared with a considerable number of pages in the two variant groups of printed copies the comparison seems to indicate that the group represented in our examination by one copy in the state library the copy in the indian apolis public library and the copy in the collection of john g rauch of indianapolis was the first printing the second group was represented by three copies in the state library one of which was signed by horace p biddle of logansport representative of cass howard and pulaski counties in the conven tion by the two copies in the law library of the supreme court of indiana and by the copies in the legislative reference bureau and in the indianapolis bar association library from this latter group judge biddle's copy and another apparently identical with it were chosen for the reprint this group made some slight omissions and some of its variations are not improvements but it contains some obvious corrections as noted below in one case it follows the official journal in giving a wrong initial . a few of the manv differences noted in the two variant printings will suffice to identify them page line first group second group used in reprint 27 last clement e babb correct clement c babb official journal 75 34 abjourned until 2 o'clock p.m adjourned 83 last inserting the fol inserting the 84 1 lowing following 108 26 broakbank misprint brookbank official journal 108 30 incrase increase 121 1 competent error incompetent official journal 326 34-35 forfeited | tu the state forfeited to the state 326 42 commitiee committee christopher b coleman director historical bureau
