Excerpt from Lectures on the History and Principles of Ancient Commerce

These Lectures were delivered at Waterford, in the beginning of the year 1833. At that time I held the office of Manager of the Waterford branch of the Provincial Bank of Ireland. When residing in London I had assisted at the formation of the City of London Literary and Scientific Institution, and was a member of the first Committee of Management, in the year 1825. At my suggestion an institution somewhat similar was formed at Waterford; and, as professional lecturers were not to be obtained, some of those gentlemen who had taken an active part in its formation, and others connected with scientific pursuits, consented to become lecturers.

The example was set by the President, Thomas Wyse, Esq., M.P., who, in his own locality, showed the same zeal in the cause of education which has characterised his public exertions. A portion of ray own labours in this way consisted of the following Lectures on the history and principles of ancient commerce.
