Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive dictionary of commerce and navigation, produced by the author after many years of labour and with valuable assistance from experts in the field. It is written in clear, non-technical language and is packed with useful information on commercial topics from Accounting to Wines. The dictionary's collaborative nature and extensive referencing of official sources mean that the vast amount of information it contains is accurate and reliable. The work gives a good deal of attention to the trade, navigation, colonies, arts, institutions, customs, and regulations of foreign countries, providing a wealth of information not found in other works of its kind. It also includes details of British and foreign banks, and maritime law, which are of importance to merchants and traders. The author is keen to point out that commercial activities need to be described in the state in which they are offered for sale, and so does not go into detail about the processes followed in manufacturing the commodities described. The author has endeavoured to censure any wrongs that they have identified, but they hope that the book will be found generally useful, especially for merchants and traders.
