Eliot, of Massachusetts, in the House of Representatives, March 11, 1868 Publication: [Washington, DC?]: 1868 Description: Unbound. Very Good binding. Octavo. 8 pp. First edition. Folded sheet, never bound, untrimmed. Toning and light shelfwear, but generally in nice condition. This speech in support of the Bureau's continuation was delivered by Rep. Eliot as the House was considering House Bill No. 598 to continue the Bureau for the Relief of Freedmen and Refugees. At the time, Eliot was serving as the Chairman of the Committee of Freedmen's Affairs. The Bureau along with most of the policies of Reconstruction were deeply unpopular in the South and while well intended, it's apparent that the Bureau had limited efficacy. In this speech Eliot defends the Bureau's work and takes issue with common assertions about it. Quite uncommon; even institutional holdings are limited to about a dozen according to OCLC.
