 In 1874, the U.S. government created the United States Reports, and numbered the volumes previously published privately as part of that series, starting from the first volume of Dallas Reports.The four volumes Dallas published were retitled volumes 1 - 4 of "United States Reports".As a result, the complete citation to "Nixon and Harper v. Long and Plumstead" is 1 U.S. 6 (1 Dallas 6) (1762).
