Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Department of State of the United States: How It Was Formed, What Are Its Duties, and How It Is Run
Livingston left the business of the Department in the hands of the under secretary, Lewis R. Morris; but Morris was with out authority to act, and severed his connection with the Depart ment soon afterwards, his place being taken by Henry Remsen, jr. As a matter of fact, however, the Department of Foreign Affairs practically ceased to exist, and Congress managed the foreign relations of the country directly, committees being appointed as occasion arose, to consider specific questions.
