"Bibliography of Henry Clay," v.i, p.34-38.
Clay was prominently identified with the advocacy of the war with
England in 1812. the promotion of domestic manufactures by tariffs,
federal aid for internal improvements, the colonization of negroes in
Africa, the public land policy, the settlement of southern disputes
through the Missouri compromise and the important compromise
measures of 1850. On all of these, as well as on other topics, Clay's
speeches are part of the history of the United States. Colton's biography
is eulogistic, but on the whole well done. Reed's "Introduction"
and McKinley's "History of tariff legislation" were apparently perfunctory
and non-critical tasks, and the latter is scrappy. Neither can
be relied upon by the careful student. Condensed from Larned's
Literature of American history.
