Alexander James Dallas (1759-1817) was U.S. Secretary of the Treasury from 1814-1816; his recommendations in regard to a protective tariff were the basis of American policy for the next 30 years. This treatise served as justification for declaring war on the British in the War of 1812. However, its publication coincided with the Treaty of Ghent, which effectively ended the war.
Dallas was father of George Mifflin Dallas, who served as Vice President of the United States from 1845-49. This work was also published during the year 1814 in Baltimore, Boston, Middlebury, Vermont, Petersburg, Virginia, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.
