" It can unhesitatingly be given the first place among publications of its kind in the English Language. . . . 

 No single volume in recent scientific literature embodies in original contributions, the labor of so many emi- 

 nent specialists as this one." — From a two and one-half column review in " The Nation,'"

" We have long felt the need of a book which might be placed in the hands of pupils, and from which they 

 might readily obtain, without the unsatisfactory and time-demanding labor of searching for them through 

 large statistical works in an outside library, the facts touching modern commercial conditions which they 

 ought to know. The book which I recommend is in plan and choice of facts the best for our purpose I have 

 seen. It is teachable in form, and in some places is very suggestive. This last is a point of great value." —
