By tolanddj, 5 June, 2016
Description

 

The Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents is an eleven-volume series of tomes comprising proclamations, special messages, and inauguration speeches from several presidents throughout United States history. There are ten numbered volumes[1][2][3][4] each covering a set of presidents between the years of 1787 and 1897 and an eleventh index volume. It was copyrighted in 1897, by James D. Richardson, a representative from the state of Tennessee, and was published in 1911, by the Bureau of National Literature and Art. A typical volume has the Seal of the President emblazoned in the front and back. Only 6,000 copies were printed and presented to members of Congress and the Senate for reference. Two thousand for the use of the Senate and four thousand for the use of Congress. There was no eleventh volume in the first printing. The index is contained in the tenth volume. These volumes are brown and have no seal. Ex library copy.
