Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles official communications and public addresses given by the author in their role as Governor to a joint assembly of the Massachusetts State Legislature. Delivered in the political and social context of the early 1830s, these communications focus on a range of topics including the importance of supporting internal improvements like railroads, the necessity of reforming militia laws, and the government's obligation to aid its citizens. The author also discusses the concept of public institutions as bulwarks of liberty and a means to protect and improve society, and concludes with an impassioned plea for the abolition of imprisonment for debt. This book provides a valuable historical record of both the author's vision for Massachusetts and the political landscape of the era.
