Excerpt from The Early Congressional Debates and Reporters, 1889 The resolution was referred to a committee, whose report, how ever, was not acted upon. After the removal of Congress to Philadelphia, says hildreth, in his History of the Unlted States (vol. 5, p. 410) the country was mainly indebted for reports of the Congressional proceedings to the enterprise of Mr. Brown, the publisher of the Philadelphia Gazette, who employed a stenographer or two for that purpose, and from whose columns the other papers mostly copied, though the more important speeches were written by the speakers. The Aurora also gave occasional reports of its own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
