General.—The most important single works are the **Contributions to American economic history from the Department of economics and sociology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington: History of domestic and foreign commerce of the U. S., by E. R. Johnson, T. W. Van Metre, G. G. Huebner and D. S. Hanchett, 2 volumes (cited hereafter as Carnegie History); History of transportation in the U. S., before 1860, under direction of B. H. Meyer; History of Manufactures in the U. S., 1607-1860, by Victor S. Clark. Foreign trade is treated in connection with other topics in N. S. Shaler, ed., *The U. S., N. Y., Appleton, 1894; C. M. Depew, ed., *Amer. commerce; T. D. Woolsey, ed., First century of the Republic, N. Y., Harper, 1876; McMaster, *Hist. (general narrative); Bogart, *Econ. hist., (manual); Lippincott, *Econ. development (manual); Wright, Ind. ev. (manual); Coman, *Ind. hist. (manual). On special branches of foreign trade see S. J.

Callahan, American relations in the Pacific, Baltimore, 1901.
Commercial Policy.—On tariff history **Taussig is by far the best guide; of the many other books on the subject (see bibliographies above) most are too prejudiced to be put in the hands of immature students. On the merchant marine and shipping policy see **W. L. Marvin, **J. R. Spears, and *W. J. Abbot. For defence of protection and subsidies, W. W. Bates, American marine, Boston, 1893, American Navigation, Boston, 1902; for criticism, D. A. Wells, Our merchant marine, N. Y., 1890.
