PRACTICAL PRIMERS OF BUSINESS (continued). 



GUIDE TO INDEXING AND PRECIS WRITING. By WILLIAM JAYNE 

 WESTON, M.A., and E. BOWKER. The present little work is intended 

 primarily for candidates for the Civil Service, the Society of Arts, 

 and similar examinations in the subject of Indexing and Precis 

 Writing. All, however, who are to be tested as to their ability to 

 select and present the essence of many documents would be able to 

 use the Guide with much advantage. The papers included deal 

 with a variety of subjects, and they are fully worked, so that the 

 student may see at a glance the best form of solution to a given 

 exercise. It may be added that the whole of the exercises included 

 in the book are reproductions of actual examination papers. In 

 crown 8vo, cloth, 116 pp., net is. 



THE MONEY, AND THE STOCK AND SHARE MARKETS. By EMIL 

 DAVIES. The idea of the author of this volume is not so much to 

 give information to experts, but rather to assist the uninitiated in 

 the somewhat complicated subjects of stock and share transactions. 

 The author has for many years been actively engaged in the higher 

 branches of finance, and makes the present primer as comprehensive 

 and practical a work as possible. It is hoped that the second part, 

 dealing with the stock and share markets, will be of interest and 

 use, not only to business students, but also to the great body of 

 small investors. In crown 8vo, cloth, 124 pp., net is.

 tutes a reliable guide to the routine in connection with the shipment 

 of goods and the clearance of vessels inwards and outwards. Part I

 receipt of the indent, in packing, forwarding, and insuring the goods,
