The essay on Protection to Young Industries, as Applied in the United States was first published in Cambridge in 1882, and was republished in a revised edition in New York in 1883. The paper on the tariff of 1828 appeared in the Political Science Quarterly for March, 1888.

All, however, have been revised for the present volume, and considerable additions have been made. Repetitions have been avoided, so far as this was possible, and I have attempted to connect the narra tive of the separate parts. Although not originally written with the design of presenting a complete history of our tariff legislation, these papers cover in some sort the entire period from 1789 to 1887.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
