Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Lin uI MYK I. SITY !INTRODUCTION! A Li KLA.- THE activity of our varied industries and the vast extent of our commerce have always been a source of reasonable pride in this country :and now more than ever justly so: for without these aids to the support of our population these little islands could hardly expect to maintain their position as one of the great powers which influence the destinies of the world. It is strange that notwithstanding this sentiment so little is generally understood of the conditions and principles which govern the true organisation of industry. Many works have been written of late years, some very superficial, but some with very great ability, showing how things are done in the City ;indeed during the recent period of spurious financial excitement an amazingly intimate acquaintance with the mere forms of business was to be met with in society which could not be supposed to have a very discriminating interest in productive undertakings. By an error very characteristic of the time, purely technical knowledge was taken to be pre-eminently practical.
