statistics, detailed statements have been avoided, 

 and only such figures quoted as make for broad, 

 general ideas. But great care has been taken to 

 get accurate figures, and in this matter the author 

 is indebted for valuable assistance to Messrs. Gow, 

 Wilson and Stanton, Ltd., 13, Rood Lane, E.G.; to 

 the Indian Tea Association (London) ; the Geylon 

 Association in London ; and the Consuls or Trades 

 Commissioners of the various tea-producing countries.
