A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents. Volume 3, part 1: Andrew Jackson (Second Term)

"A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents. Volume 3, part 1" compiled by James D. Richardson is a historical collection copyrighted in 1897. This volume concludes Andrew Jackson's presidency and covers Martin Van Buren's term between 1837 and 1841. It contains proclamations, special messages, and inauguration speeches that document these crucial years in American history. Part of an eleven-volume series spanning 1787 to 1902, this compilation became central to a political controversy over copyrighting public documents, ultimately shaping federal copyright law.
