Outstanding hardcover autograph book, 8 x 7.75, signed inside by 261 members of the 28th Congress, including presidents “John Quincy Adams, Quincy, Massachusetts,” “James Buchanan of Pennsylvania,” and “A. Johnson, Greeneville, Tenn.” Other prominent signers include Hannibal Hamlin, Alexander Stephens, Stephen A. Douglas, Thomas Hart Benton, John J. Crittenden, and Hamilton Fish. The first portion of the book is devoted to senators and contains 45 signatures, followed by 216 representatives; signatures are generally clustered by location, with nearly all signers adding their state below. None of the senatorial pages are signed on both sides, while many of the representative pages are. In fine condition, with some light toning to otherwise very clean interior pages, chipping and paper loss to spine of book, and binding slightly loose.
