INTRODUCTION

 

The papers of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 18511 in the possession of the University of California were acquired with the Bancroft Library in 1905.  They consist of the minutes of the meetings, reports, transcripts of testimony, letters, accounts, and vouchers, the total number of items being about eight hundred.  These documents are turned over to Mr. H. H. Bancroft by Mr. Isaac Bluxome who had been the secretary of the committee,2  in order to furnish materials for the history of the committee, which is included in the first volume of Mr. Bancroft's Popular Tribunals, San Francisco, 1887.  It is the purpose of the Academy of Pacific Coast History eventually to publish all these documents together with collateral material relating to the Vigilance Committee in the form of statements by Isaac Bluxome, W. T. Coleman, James Dows, J. D. Farwell, C. V. Gillespie, J. P. Manrow, Hall McAllister, James Neall, G. W. Ryckman, G. E. Shenck, T. J. Smiley, and others, which are also in the Bancroft collection.

 

The document here printed is the manuscript Constitution of the organization in the form in which it was adopted at the meeting held June 9, 1851, in the California Engine House on the corner of Market and Bush Streets, together with the autograph signatures and, in most cases, the addresses of seven hundred and seven members.3  About two hundred of the signatures were affixed to the constitution on the date mentioned and the others as members were added from time to time.  The manuscript consists of twenty-three pages, 7 7/8   by 11 3/4 inches, forming part of a book the remainder of which is blank.  The paper is light blue in color and has a faint rule introduced in the manufacture.  The book is bound in paper-covered boards and has on the front cover a printed label bearing the words, Committee of Vigilance.  Several pages at the front and back contained a few names carelessly written with other impertinent matter.  The text of the constitution occupies two pages and is followed by the signatures and addresses.  The columns for numbers, names, business addresses, and resident addresses are, in the original, divided by rules made with a pen.

 

In rendering the document into print alterations have been made only in such particulars as would not affect the accuracy of the text.  The punctuation of the constitution follows the original, but in the list of names, punctuation--almost totally lacking in the manuscript--has been supplied.  This does not apply to the apostrophe because of its orthographic character.  Misspellings and irregular abbreviations have been retained excepting cases where their retention would produce ambiguity.  Brackets [ ] have been used for corrections and for supplementary and explanatory matter.  Superior letters which occur with great frequency in the original have, in printing, been reduced to the line, except in cases where it seemed advisable or necessary to retain them.  Illegible letters and words and lacunae are marked by three dots (...) and those parts of the manuscript that have been overscored in ink are indicated by these three crosses (xxx).

 

A second document containing the names of members of the committee has been used for comparison and annotation to read this is a Book of Names which was used as a record-book by the sergeant-at-arms of the committee, A. J. McDuffee, and in it are entered the receipts of dues from the members together with various notes relating chiefly to their accounts.  The book is 4 5/8 x 7 1/4 inches in size and has flexible black leather covers.  The first page bears the following:

 

Notice.

 

Members are requested not to write in any place in this book, or in any way deface the same.  The Sergt. at Arms will make the entry of Paid members when he receives the money.

 

A J. McDuffee.

 

Book of Names.

 

 

 

The list of names occupies twenty-seven pages, the others remaining blank.

 

The names in this document, with the exception of the few at the end, are in the handwriting of McDuffee.  Their order varies from that of the autograph list and the numbers that precede them are in some cases different.  The numbers as they appear in the Book of Names are therefore inserted in italics and with in brackets.4  There are numerous variations in the spelling of the names in the two lists, but the work of verification from contemporary and other sources has shown that in the second or transcribe document errors due to misreading of the signatures frequently occurred.  In the case of names that differ in two documents and all of which verification has been impossible, the form that appears in the transcribe list has been supplied in italics and with in brackets.  The annotations in this list relating to the receipt of dues, which consist usually of the work "Paid" accompanied by the amount, are omitted; but certain other notes that occur in it and which seem pertinent are inserted in a column set off from the first document by a rule.

 

An alphabetical list of the signers is appended in which the Christian names are given in full whenever possible.
