He was admitted to the bar in 1834, served six terms in the Georgia legislature, and was a Whig (later a Democratic) Representative in Congress from 1843 to 1859. Stephens, together with Howell Cobb and Robert Toombs, was influential in Georgia's acceptance of the Compromise of 1850, and with them he organized in the state the short-lived Constitutional Union party. He voted against secession in the Georgia convention of 1861, but accepted his state's decision and was a delegate to the convention in Montgomery, where the Confederacy was born. As vice president, Stephens consistently opposed the policies of Jefferson Davis, objecting notably to conscription and to suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. An early advocate of peace, he was one of three Confederate commissioners to the Hampton Roads Peace Conference. After the Civil War, Stephens was arrested and interned for several months in Fort Warren, Boston. After his release, he was elected (1866) to the U.S. Senate but was not allowed to take his seat. He then applied himself to the writing of Constitutional View of the Late War between the States (2 vol., 1868-70), considered the ablest defense of the right of secession. He served again in Congress from 1873 to 1882, when he was elected governor of Georgia. . more information

Uncirculated copy, with no date stamp pocket in back. From the preface: In the Statutes at Large and Revised Statutes of 1873 there are over 40,000 quarto pages. The lack of a practical guide to the innumerable subjects on which Congress had legislated since 1789 was felt by certain Members of the House and Senate in connection with their work of drafting and criticizing bills. During the last days of the session of Congress which ended June 30, 1906, the authors of the present volume proposed the preparation of an Index Analysis to the Federal Statutes. . . The first volume was to contain an index analysis of the Revised Statutes of 1873 and of all the statutes of a general and permanent character thereafter enacted. The aim in the present volume was to bring to light every subject in the acts of a general and permanent character which might be of practical use in the work of legislation, regardless of the fact that such acts were constantly mixed in with statues of a personal, local and temporary nature. ; Ex-Library; 1373 pages . more information
