Présentation de l'éditeur

Cotton and its natural distribution, for example, gain vital interest if treated in the United States, where cotton is most important, along with the facts relating to its manufacture and the general trade in it; while in England, Egypt, I ndia, andR ussian Central Asia cotton is treated only in its local application. A full index to all the information in the volume will be found useful for reference. Comparatively few statistics are included in the text. The statistical tables, at the end of most of the chapters, relate to the subject-matter of the chapter to which they are appended; it is hoped that they will be found full of information, which, in small space, will helpfully supplement the text. No statistics have been used that are not believed to represent normal conditions; for this reason older data, in some instances, have been regarded as preferable to the latest information. No figures relating to some countries have been used; inC uba, for example, statistical data relating neither to the period before the insurrection of 1895 nor to some years later represented normal conditions of trade, and they were not used. The maps have been prepared with a view to illuminating the text, and conveying much information that could not otherwise be so graphically imparted. Most of them are compilations from a considerable number of official and other authoritative map sources, each contributing more or less data required for the purpose of the book. On a few maps, reproduced from foreign sources, the origin of each map is indicated on the margin. The maps of Latin America were collated with very little cartographic material, mainly from data derived from official sources and the consular reports of the United States.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
