at Large of the United States of America ; those of the British 
Government bearing upon the questions at issue are found in 
the volumes containing the diplomatic correspondence referred 
to above. 
Additional authoritative material is found in James D. 
Richardson, A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the 
Presidents, 1789-1902, and in A Compilation of Reports of 
Committee on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate, 
1789-1901. The actual effects upon American commerce and 
shipping of the different treaties and commercial regulations 
of the two countries during the period under discussion are 
discovered in the official tables of commerce and navigation 
compiled for Congress. For the period from 1789 to 1823, 
these are found in The American State Papers, Commerce and 
Navigation; for the period following 1823, they are found in 
various House Documents published under the title State 
Papers until 1830, after that under the title Executive Docu- 
ments. 
For filling the interstices which remain as a result of the 
use of printed documents only, the most valuable material is 
found in the writings, memoirs, and reminiscences of the men 
who played prominent parts in shaping the events with which 
this essay deals. By far the most indispensable for this pur- 
pose are the Memoirs of John Quincy Adams which comprise 
portions of his diary, and the Writings of John Quincy Adams. 
From 1817 to 1829 Adams shaped the foreign policy of the 
United States, first as Secretary of State, later as President. 
Because of the important role played by him during this period 
and because of his full notes and keen analysis of men and 
events, these volumes are extremely valuable. Two other men 
who were prominent in the events here enumerated were 
Albert Gallatin and Rufus King. The Writings of Albert 
Gallatin and The Life and Correspondence of Rufus King 
therefore furnish considerable additional information upon 
this subject. For the introductory chapter. The Works of 
John Adams, the first American minister to Great Britain, 
throw light on the early attitude of the British toward the 
United States. 
Useful but not so indispensable are the Works of Henry 
Clay, Secretary of State under Adams; The Diary of James 
Gallatin, Secretary to Albert Gallatin during the negotiations
