Excerpt from International Trade: A Study of the Economic Advantages of Commerce Throughout, I have endeavored to keep in view the requirement of clearness, although not avoiding discus sion of difficult points. To this end, concreteness has been given to the arguments presented, by the use of both hypothetical and real examples, and the main con elusions of each chapter have been summarized in the last section of the chapter. The more analytical and controversial discussions have been, in large part, con signed to footnotes. I have sought thus to write a book which can serve as a text, but which 'may be also not without interest, on a few disputed points, to profes sional economists. Acknowledgment should be here made of various courtesies extended, and of the aid rendered by a num ber of friends who have done much toward removing errors of statement and expression and in suggesting critical and illustrative additions. Professor G. 5. Cal lender, of the Sheffield Scientific School, Yale Univer sity, to whom I submitted the manuscript, has made a number of valuable criticisms and suggestions. I am under obligation, also, for critical reading of a number of the more important chapters of the book, to Pro fessors Irving Fisher, Clive Day, and H. C. Emery of Yale College and to Professor John Bauer of Cornell University. Finally, I would acknowledge here the obligation I am under to my wife, who has given me valuable assistance in the gathering of data, in reading and criticising the manuscript in its various stages of completion, and in correcting the proof.
