The author has endeavoured to supply in a single volume a summary 

 ot the "whole host of separate industries and undertakings" which come 

 under the head of Ocean Trade and Shipping. 



The book is an explanatory work rather than a technical treatise. 



The Baltic; view of "The Floor" 



To army officers a knowledge of the machinery of shipping must be 

 interesting in view of the importance of sea transport as a military factor — - 

 especially in time of war. 



Naval officers are brought into frequent contact with oversea trade, not 

 only in arranging for the supply of fleets and naval bases in time of peace, 

 but in the attack on, and defence of, commerce in time of war ; to his 

 summary, therefore, of the process of ocean trade in times of peace the 

 author has added some reflections on the situation created by a sudden 

 outbreak of war.
