Présentation de l'éditeur

In short, the empire may be said to have as yet wanted ahnost entirely the stimulus to industry arising from communication by water, from a universally established steam-communication, and, above all, from a liberal commercial legislation. Encyclopaedia Britannica, Eighth Edition, 1854. The low rank held by Austria among commercial nations, whether as a producer or as a consumer, has long struck every one acquainted with the resources of the empire; and the more the subject is examined, the greater becomes the surprise at the slight benefit which has been derived from their natural advantages, by a population numbering above 38,000,000 of souls, placed in a country bordering on one side some of the most active and industrious States of Germany, and traversed by one of the largest and most easily navigable streams of Europe, which seemed especially calculated to secure to Austrian enterprise the advantages of tltei lucrative markets of the Levant. Feni CsC ompendium of the English and Foreign Funds.
