Writings, 1864-1895.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259225

This volume consists of a miscellany of writings by Carpenter. There is an essay on the peace movement initiated by Democrats in 1864, several on Freemasonry in Rhode Island from 1879 to 1887, several on legal cases and reform of the judicial system, and essays on the assassination of James A. Garfield, civil service reform, one entitled "Washington the Founder of the Nation," another on the protective tariff, and another titled "The Last of the Prophets: A Study on an Hour and of a Man,"--an essay on John Brown. In addition there was an address, "The Care of the Defective and Disorderly," as well as a photograph of Judge Carpenter. Altogether these writings seem to constitute the literary remains, including the entire printed output, of George Moulton Carpenter.
