Excerpt from List of References on Embargoes The proposal to lay an embargo on the exportation of food-stuffs and munitions of war has turned the attention of legislators and others to the previous experiences of the Government in laying embargoes. One purpose of this list is to direct attention to the literature dealing with these earlier attempts, especially of 1807-8 and 1812-13. The international aspects of the question are discussed in the books and articles listed under the heading International law. The suggestion coming from influential sources to make use of an embargo to meet present conditions has led to considerable discussion in current literature. These discussions are listed under the headings Food and other commodities, and Munitions in the present war, with a separate section for Speeches in Congress. References on the trade restrictions of other countries are not included in this list, but their decrees on the prohibition of exports of food-stuffs and other commodities are published currently in the British Board of Trade Journal. The texts of the decrees are printed in full as supplements to the Journal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
