Excerpt from Science and Commerce, Their Influence on Our Manufactures: A Series of Statistical Essays and Lectures, Describing the Progressive Discoveries of Science, the Advance of British Commerce, and the Conditions of Our Principal Manufactures in the Nineteenth Century
Having been solicited to publish some lectures recently delivered on the Products of' Commerce (forming the Travers' Course) at the London Insti tution, have availed myself of the opportunity to reprint at the same time, in a compact volume, a few of the many articles I have contributed to the com mercial literature of. The day on kindred topics during the last twenty years. It appeared to me that there was a want of a reliable handy-book of reference on our commerce and manufactures, and'some observa tions which I made in the preface to my Commercial Dictionary of Trade Products, published fourteen years ago, are even more pertinent now. The present is essentially a practical, commercial, and industrial age - newspapers, lecturers, popular authors - all lend their efforts towards the diffusion of sound and useful knowledge among the masses; and the commercial and industrial element has become the leading feature of instruction.
