All documents are presented in chronological order. This volume, covering the last months of 1792 and early 1793, provides continued evidence of Hamilton's expert handling of the business of the Treasury Department. Among the book's documents are Hamilton's reports in response to the "Giles Resolutions," which were passed in the House in an attempt to discredit Hamilton's handling of the Treasury. Correspondence reveals the pressure put on the Treasury by American merchants and French diplomatic representatives as a result of strife in Santo Domingo. Other documents reveal Hamilton's part in the U.S. attempt to avert a war with the Indians on the northwestern frontier, and the government's problems with Spanish aid for Indian raids on the country's southern border. Hamilton's controversy with John F. Mercer is developed further in this volume, and political overtones appear in the Hamilton-Reynolds Affair, the first major sex scandal in American political history.

This volume also contains documents relating to Hamilton's life as a private citizen, including a search for a schoolmaster, acknowledgement of an honorary Harvard degree, and Hamilton's continuing interest in manufacturing.
