<br/><br/> "A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents. Volume 7, part 2" compiled by James D. Richardson is a historical collection published between 1897 and 1911. This volume presents proclamations, special messages, and speeches from President Rutherford B. Hayes during his term from 1877 to 1881. Part of an eleven-volume series documenting American presidential communications from 1787 to 1902, it offers direct access to official executive documents. The compilation sparked the Richardson Affair, a political controversy over privately copyrighting public documents that ultimately helped establish prohibitions on federal government works being copyrighted.
