Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print. Adapted from the National Academy Press's Open Book framework, this framework allows searching down to the page level, provides sorting of search results chronologically, enables easy navigation across multiple volumes, and allows page-by-page local printing (via PDF) of every page.

NOVE M BER · ~ 9 ~ ~ own labor. I am certain that no man who Is in earnest In his desire for a free government In this country wants to see these rights abridged.
