History of the Origin, Formation, and Adoption of the Constitution of the United States, Vol. 2 / With Notices of Its Principle Framers

by George Ticknor Curtis

Transcriber's Note:

This is the second volume of a two volume set, begun in [History of the Origin, Formation, and Adoption of the Constitution of the United States, Volume I.]

The index at the end of this volume, Volume II., includes links to entries for both volumes. An index jump-table has been added for the convenience of the reader.

Multiple-page footnotes, repositioned to the end of the text, have resulted in numbered pages with no contents (visible in html version only).

Remaining transcriber's notes are at the end of the text.
