*The compiler has availed himself of the index to the militia act of 1812, which was at that time
prepared by the adjutant general, and has merely made such additions to it, as the subsequent acts
rendered necessary. References will be found in it to many provisions which have ceased to be in op-
eration, inasmuch as nearly the entire act of 1842 is republished, notwithstanding the modifications
which many of its parts have undergone; but the impressions arising from such references will be
at once corrected on turning to the page and section referred to, where all the alterations which have
since been made are pointed out.
