This History of Domestic and Foreign Commerce of the United States, in two 

 volumes, constitutes one division of the Contributions to American Economic 

 History being prepared by the Department of Economics and Sociology of the 

 Carnegie Institution of Washington. Volume I contains three parts dealing, re- 

 spectively, with "American Commerce to 1789," "The Internal Commerce of the 

 United States," and "The Foreign Trade of the United States Since 1789." Volume 

 II also has three parts devoted, respectively, to "American Fisheries," "The Coast 

 wise Trade of the United States," and "Government Aid and Commercial Policy;" 

 this volume also contains a bibliography topically classified. 



Part one of Volume I, with the exception of two chapters, was written by 

 Emory R. Johnson, Professor of Transportation and Commerce at the University 

 of Pennsylvania, while the remainder of the two volumes was written by Dr. T. W. 

 Van Metre, Assistant Professor G. G. Huebner, and Dr. David S. Hanchett. Sev- 

 eral collaborators made special studies that were used along with other material in 

 writing the volumes. Professor Johnson has directed the preparation of the entire 

 work and has edited the parts contributed by his associates. 



No adequate history either of the foreign or of the internal trade of the United 

 States had previously been written. While there is a large literature upon com- 

 mercial subjects to be found in government reports and other publications, these 

 volumes are the first to cover systematically the entire field of the history of 

 American commerce. 



No. 215s. CLARK, VICTOR S. History of Manufactures in the United States, 1607 

 to 1860. Octavo, xn-f-675 pages, 7 plates, 7 figures. Published 1916. 

 Price $6.00. 



This volume contains a history of American manufactures from the settlement 

 of Virginia to the Civil War. Its purpose is to picture and to explain the begin- 

 nings of that growth which has made manufacturing one of the most important 

 forms of natural production. The more important economic influences affecting 

 general manufactures and specific industries are described and their relation to our 

 industrial development is traced in detail. While the arrangement is loosely chrono- 

 logical, the topical method of treatment prevails. There are very full references 

 to the published and unpublished materials, and the book contains new statistical 

 and bibliographical data of importance.

The History of Transportation in the United States before 1860, prepared by 

 Caroline E. MacGill and a staff of collaborators under the direction of Dr. B. H. 

 Meyer, is the third book to be issued in the series of Contributions to American 

 Economic History, published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. This 

 volume is based upon a series of monographic studies made by pupils of Professor 

 Meyer and by other economists, who made free use of the extensive library of 

 books on transportation given to the University of Wisconsin by the late James 

 J. Hill. 



Transportation is the key to the economic progress of the United States. The 

 great natural resources of the country could never have been developed without 

 adequate means of bringing people to work them and of bringing the finished prod-
