The Papers of James Madison: 25 October 1813-30 June 1814

The preface sets the context and highlights events in the time period covered in this seventh volume of the ongoing series. Editorial notes affirm that the voluminous amount of material surviving from Madison’s two presidential administrations has required increasing selectivity--based on the documents’ power to illuminate Madison’s thoughts or official activities. The publication project is sponsored by roughly a half dozen government and private entities. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
