Excerpt from Protection to Home Industry: Four Lectures Delivered in Harvard University, January, 1885 These Lectures were delivered at Harvard at the instance of the Corporation and Overseers of the University, who did me the honor to appoint me Lecturer on Protective Tariffs for the year 1884 - 5, with the duty of delivering four lectures on that subject. I desire to acknowledge the courtesy with which President Eliot and his colleagues in the Faculty permitted me to make such an arrangement as would least interfere with my duties at home, and the kindness which made my stay at Cam bridge one of the pleasantest experiences of my life. I also have to thank my colleagues in the University of Pennsylvania for their assumption of much of my work in my absence.
