The final volume of the Presidential Series covers Madison's last
ten months in office, during which he maintained a busy schedule
despite taking the longest summer vacation in all his time in
Washington. Foreign policy was dominated by crises with Spain and
Algiers. Negotiations with Great Britain continued over trade
access and the implementation of the Treaty of Ghent. On the home
front, new treaties were negotiated with Indian nations on the
frontier, and Madison issued several proclamations on the sale of
public lands. The Treasury Department negotiated an agreement with
leading banks to restore specie payments, laying the foundation for
a uniform system of currency. Before returning to Washington for
his final meeting with Congress, Madison wrote a sketch for a
biography that never appeared. After delivering a farewell address
to the nation, Madison concluded his public service with a
controversial veto on his last day in office.
