| Summary | "Abridgment of the Debates of Congress, from 1789 to 1856, Vol. 2" is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume provides a comprehensive record of the proceedings and debates in the United States Congress, notably focused on the time period surrounding the Fourth Congress in the late 18th century. The likely topic of the book revolves around the discussions and decisions made by various U.S. senators and representatives as they shaped the early political landscape of the nation. The opening of the book details the proceedings from the Second Session of the Fourth Congress, commencing December 5, 1796. Important figures such as Vice President John Adams and several senators are introduced as they gather to conduct business, including addressing a quorum and managing senatorial appointments. The text captures both the procedural aspects of Congress—such as the administration of oaths and the presenting of messages to the President—as well as intimate moments like Vice President Adams's farewell address to the Senate, highlighting the political tensions and aspirations during this formative period in American history.
