And A Variety Of Other Matter Useful And Entertaining. This 1840-edition collection assembles pivotal 18th- and 19th-century American political writings, including inaugural and farewell addresses, and editor-guided selections, to advance a democratic, reform-minded vision. It weaves policy proposals on land and frontier settlement, Native American removal, military and naval modernization, and governmental reform with critiques of centralized money power, currency systems, and constitutional fidelity. Throughout, the volume emphasizes national unity, republican virtue, education, and vigilance against factionalism and consolidation. By invoking Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Jackson, and Van Buren, the work frames a narrative of limited government and virtuous leadership. The collection also features foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, underscoring the legitimacy of government grounded in popular sovereignty and the rule of law.
