A most unique book, with an important signature, listing the names and compensations of all printers in any way employed by Congress, or any department, or officer or government. Inclusive of such lists of the individual's "Stations," "Where born," "Residence," and "Compensation." Beginning with the Executive branch of The President of the United States, Andrew Jackson of Tennessee, $25,000 per annum, and Vice President of the United States, Martin Van Buren, of New York, $5,000 per annum, and continues to the back of the book with the Postmasters indexed by name of the city, including each individuals compensation. Fascinating reading. To put President Jackson's compensation in today's dollars, his $25,000 in the year 1833 is equivalent in purchasing power to $675,800.00 in 2016, based on an average inflation index of 1.82% per year.

A fantastic unique example of Millard Fillmore's signature.
