Washington is predominantly the Capital of the United States. Visitors to the city are commonly interested as much in the machinery of national government as in the great buildings which house that machinery. Therefore a considerable portion of this volume is given over to detailed accounts of the functional activities of all Government departments bureaus and independent agencies." 1331800.
