"A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents. Volume 4, part 3" is a collection of presidential documents published in the late 19th century. This volume presents the proclamations, special messages, and inauguration speeches of President James K. Polk during his term from 1845 to 1849. Part of an eleven-volume series compiled by Representative James D. Richardson, it preserves the official communications of American presidents for historical reference. The compilation itself became the center of a political controversy over copyrighting public documents, ultimately shaping laws about federal government works.
