Secret Sessions of the Senate: Their Origin, Their Motive, Their Object, Their Effect is a historical book written by Dorman Bridgman Eaton in 1886. The book explores the nature and purpose of secret sessions held by the United States Senate, which are closed to the public and the press. Eaton delves into the history of secret sessions, tracing their roots back to the early days of the Senate and examining their evolution over time.The author explores the reasons why secret sessions are held, including matters of national security, confidential information, and sensitive political issues. He also examines the impact of secret sessions on the Senate’s decision-making process, arguing that they can be both beneficial and detrimental to the functioning of the Senate.Throughout the book, Eaton provides numerous examples of secret sessions held by the Senate, including those related to the Civil War, Reconstruction, and foreign policy. He also discusses the role of the President and other executive branch officials in secret sessions, as well as the challenges of maintaining secrecy in an era of increasing media scrutiny.Overall, Secret Sessions of the Senate provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of one of the most powerful institutions in American government. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Senate, the role of secrecy in government, and the challenges of balancing transparency and confidentiality in a democratic society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
