" Without exaggeration one of the most wonderful compilations of the age. The power of 

 continuous labour, the wide range of inquiry, and the power of artistical finish, which have 

 been brought into play by this work, are probably unrivalled in the history of literature . . 

 Compared with all previous attempts to compile a commercial dictionary, Mr. M^C'u! loch's 

 appears as the realisation of an idea which former projectors had conceived too vaguely to 

 be able to carry into execution. It is superior to them all, quite as much for the spirit of 

 judicious selection brought by the author to his task, as for any other quality. The great 

 merit <>f the work is, that, while omittingnothing of essential importance, it contains nothing 

 that is useless or merely cumbrous . . . The success of the earlier editions of .Mr. M'Culloch's 

 Dictionary is, after all, the best proof of its merit; the facts attending it prove that the 

 mercantile, political, and literary public were in want of such a work, and that they were 

 satisfied with the manner in which Mr. M'Culloch had performed his task. No reader can rise 

 from the perusal of any one of the larger articles without feeling that no previous writer has 

 concentrated so much valuable information within so small a compass, or conveyed his inform- 

 ation in so agreeable a style. And the remark is equally applicable to all the numerous 

 articles of which this crammed volume is composed .... It is, indeed, invaluable as a book 

 of reference to the merchant, the insurance-agent, the statesman, and the journalist ; and its 



ants of the patient inquirer as of the hurried man of business. Mr. M'Cnlloch 

 igh place amongst the authors of the day as a hard-headed original thinker in 

 political economy ; a still higher, as one of the most zealous and successful labourers in 

 rendering that science popular ; but, of all his publications, his Commercial Dictionary is the 

 one least likely to encounter the rivalry of a work of superior or even equal value." 



articles, from the care and talent with which they are executed, are as well calculated 

 -upply the wants of the patient inquirer a ' " 

 occupies a high place amongst the attthon 

 political economy ; a still higher, as one
