Sir Sjbnegr lt% Mditxleia, xmtt, LOBD MAYOR OF LONDON. My Lord, Although your Lordship is not directly connected with the ton Trade, the vast importance of its interests to the prosperity of these Kingdoms is well understood by your Lordship, and must be my apology for availing myself of your sanction to dedicate The Guide to the I ron Trade of Great Britain to the Chief Magistrate of the first commercial City in the world. Although the Coal and ton Mines and Furnaces are fixed at a considerable distance from your Lordship sjurisdiction, the capital necessary for their de. velopment, and the merchant princes who serve the craving nations of the earth with ton, are mainly located in this great Metropohs. Without the Bank of England, Messrs. Glyn s, and other establishments of a kindred nature, it would be difficult to arrange the great monetary exchanges required, and, indeed absolutely necessary for firms engaged in the Coal and ton Trades with foreign countries.
