""Charles Hammond and His Relations to Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams: Or Constitutional Limitations and the Contest for Freedom of Speech and the Press"" is a historical book written by William Henry Smith and published in 1885. The book tells the story of Charles Hammond, a prominent journalist and lawyer in the early 19th century, and his interactions with two of the most influential political figures of the time: Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams.
