Those documents which of themselves are important state papers, as Washington's Farewell Address, Hamilton's Report on the Public Credit, Franklin's Plan for a Union of the Colonies, and Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence. 2. Accounts of important events in which the writer was a leading participant, as Washington's description of his capture of Boston, Jefferson's account of the purchase of Louisiana, and Franklin's story of the conclusion of peace with Great Britain.3.
