Garfield, Ulysses S. Grant, Simon Greenleaf, Henry Wager Halleck, George Stillman Hillard, ⁹douard Laboulaye, Carl Joseph Anton Mittermaier, Charles Sumner, Martin Russell Thayer, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Theodore Dwight Woolsey. Subjects in the collection include political science and theory; constitutional history; political economy; international law; philosophy and history of civilization; penology, including Lieber's association with the prison reform movement; education, particularly college and university administration; United States and European politics; antebellum debates and campaigns; slavery and abolitionism; politics of the Civil War, including problems of the citizenship of African-Americans, immigrants, and former Confederates; constitutional powers of the President and Congress; Republican Party, especially its radical wing; military aspects of the Civil War as reflected in Lieber's correspondence with Halleck; reconstruction, including plans for codification of international law; and Lieber's service with the United States-Mexican Claims Commission.
