# A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents. Volume 2, part 2: John Quincy Adams

By James D. Richardson.

"A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents. Volume 2, part 2" compiled by James D. Richardson is a historical collection published in the late 19th century. This volume preserves the official proclamations, speeches, and messages of American presidents spanning the early republic through the turn of the twentieth century. Volume 2 specifically covers the administrations of James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren. The compilation became central to a political controversy over copyright of public documents, ultimately shaping federal law regarding government works.
