Summary "A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents. Volume 8, part 1:…" by James D. Richardson is a historical compilation documenting the messages and papers associated with the presidencies of James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur, as well as the first term of Grover Cleveland. This work, written in the late 19th century, encompasses a crucial period in American history from March 4, 1881, to March 4, 1889. The book likely covers topics including governance, civil service reforms, significant treaties, and the political atmosphere of the era, particularly focused on events following Garfield's assassination. The book provides an extensive overview of important addresses, communications, and legislative activities from these presidents, reflecting their responses to pressing national issues. It includes Garfield's inaugural address, which underscores the significance of self-governance and national unity while addressing the challenges of civil rights and economic policies. In addition, it chronicles Arthur's administration, particularly his efforts in civil service reform and foreign policy, alongside Cleveland's significant vetoes and discussions on tariffs and public finance. Overall, this compilation serves as an essential resource for understanding the administrative thoughts and actions of these presidents during a transformative period in U.S. history.
