Excerpt from The Trade Relations of the British EmpireThe original edition was hed almost simultane ously with the birth of on that has since raged so fiercely round the subject it deals with. It is hardly necessary to say, therefore, that it was written entirely free from the in¿uence of the controversy, and in a much calmer and more judicial frame of mind than would be possible now. Reperusal of the work has convinced me that no new facts have been brought to light in the interval to modify the position I then took, rather am I more firmly of the opinion that it one. For this reason I have decided to text, with only such alterations as are necessary to make the incorporated statistics the latest obtainable, and whenever I have desired to make fresh comment, I have done so in the form of a special footnote, thus making the second edition as nearly as possible an exact reproduction of the first. The time for recasting the work may arrive when the issues have become more clearly defined.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
