Mifflin & Co., Boston, 1882-90: _Benjamin Franklin_, by J.T. Morse; _Patrick Henry_, by M.C. Tyler; _Samuel Adams_, by J.K. Hosmer; _George Washington_, by H.C. Lodge, 2 vols.; _John Adams and Thomas Jefferson_, by J.T. Morse; _Alexander Hamilton_, by H.C. Lodge; _Gouverneur Morris_, by T. Roosevelt; _James Madison_, by S.H. Gay; _James Monroe_ by D.C. Gilman; _Albert Gallatin_, by J.A. Stevens; _John Randolph_, by H. Adams; _John Jay_, by G. Pellew; _John Marshall_, by A.B. Magruder; _John Quincy Adams_, by J.T. Morse; _John C. Calhoun_, by H. von Holst; _Andrew Jackson_, by W.G. Sumner; _Martin Van Buren_, by E.M. Shepard; _Henry Clay_, by C. Schurz, 2 vols.; _Daniel Webster_, by H.C. Lodge; _Thomas H, Benton_, by T. Roosevelt. In connection with the questions on page 269 relating to tariff, currency, etc., references to some works on political economy are needed. The arguments in favour of protectionism are set forth in Bowen's _American Political Economy_, last ed., N.Y., 1870; the arguments in favour of free trade are set forth in Perry's _Political Economy_, 19th ed., N.Y., 1887; and for an able and impartial historical survey, Taussig's _Tariff History of the United States_, N.Y., 1888, may be recommended. For a lucid view of currency, see Jevons's _Money and the Mechanism of Exchange_, N.Y., 1875. A useful work on the Australian method of voting is Wigmore's _The Australian Ballot System_, 2d ed., Boston, 1890. In connection with some of the questions on page 271, the student may profitably consult Woolsey's _International Law_, 5th ed., N.Y., 1879. NOTE TO PAGE 226. By the act of February 3, 1887, the second Monday in January is fixed for the meeting of the electoral colleges in all the states. The provisions relating to the first Wednesday in January are repealed. The interval between the second Monday in January and the second Wednesday in February remains available for the settlement of disputed questions. NOTE TO PAGE 250. In order to relieve the supreme court of the United States, which had come to be overburdened with business, a new court, with limited appellate jurisdiction, called the _circuit court of appeals_, was organized in 1892. It consists primarily of nine _appeal judges_, one for each of the nine circuits. For any given circuit the supreme court justice of the circuit, the appeal judge of the circuit, and the circuit judge constitute the court of appeal. APPENDIX A.
