A number of typographical errors which escaped our notice in the first edition have now been corrected, and the statistical information brought up to date, but otherwise no substantial alternations have been found necessary. We take it as a compliment that this book should to-day be in use in French, German, Belgian, Swiss, and Austrian Schools of Commerce in connection with the teaching of English and English methods of conducting business operations. When shall we see similar works, written for the use of French or German young men, seriously studied by British youths of from 16 to 19, in British Schools of Commerce?
