Excerpt from A History of Commerce The year 1914 marks one of the great turning points in history. I have accordingly revised the part Of this book covering the recent'period to close the narrative at that date, and have added another part, covering the history Of commerce in the war and in the two or three years Of peace immediately following. The commerce Of the great nations of the world has departed since 1914 far from its accustomed paths and forms. In my attempt to make intelligible the commercial changes Of the time I have had to take account Of matters in public finance, currency and foreign exchange which are usually treated apart from the history Of international trade. I have thought it better, by touching on these outside subjects, to show the reasons for the course which commerce has followed, rather than to omit the reasons because they are hard for the student Of the history of commerce to understand.

Excerpt from History of Commerce and Industry This book is an outgrowth of eleven years' experience in teaching history to commercial classes at the Philadelphia Cen tral High School. In preparing it the aim has been the same as the aim Of the teaching: viz., to present the essentials of his tory from the commercial and industrial point of view. The purpose has been to furnish the history Of a great movement or tendency rather than the history of nations. It will be Obvious to those who use the book that the 'writer's interests have been primarily in commercial history. The writer accepts as true a recent statement Of Canon Hen son, that knowledge Oi the past is a great emancipating power Of the present, and that ignorance Of the past is one of the present's greatest curses. History treated as a record of social progress may become one of the great cementing forces Of society. With what aspect of the past shall history deal? It is quite correct to say that history is the outgrowth of the age in which it is written and that the various interpretations which have been given it are but reflections Of the varying and dominant interests Of society. Not many years ago, Edward A. F ree man's famous dictum, history is past politics and politics are present history, found general acceptance; but this sentiment is no longer generally approved. Clearly there is at present a desire to select those interests Of the past which most bear on the present. For a considerable time, the tendency has been Obvious for both writers and teachers to emphasize economic and social history rather than the history Of war or Of the evolu tion Of governmental systems.

Excerpt from The History of Commerce in Europe The issue of this second edition has given the author the Opportunity of correcting several errors of fact and of expression that have been pointed out to, or discovered by, him. He would like, however, to Observe to critical readers that he does not pretend to be a specialist in the history of every European or other nation mentioned in these pages and consequently must ask the indulgence of those who know more than himself for any mistakes that may have arisen through reference to other historical authorities. But every care has been taken to avoid such errors; and the gratifying reception accorded to the first edition seems to be a sign that interest is being aroused in a very important branch of European history.

Excerpt from Free Trade and British Commerce This little work, which was written in 1879, has enjoyed a wide circulation, owing chiefly, no doubt, to some words of praise from a great orator, and to the powerful propagandism of the Cobden Club. We are now in 1881, and I have little to add to, or to subtract from, either the facts or the principles embodied in it. I have, however, carefully revised the present edition, and made a few corrections in trifling matters of detail. The present position of our trade with the United States of America curiously confirms the doctrines advanced in this little book. In August, 1879, Mr. James Howard, the present member for Bedfordshire, asked me my opinion as to how the United States had been paid for their large exports to us; my reply was as follows: - 1. The Americans have been buying largely, from both England and the Continent, of their own Bonds and Stocks, and have given prices above the marketable value of them in Europe. 2. Normally the United States are exporters of gold, they being producers of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History and Commerce of New York, 1891: Illustrated In 1702, the government of New York was in charge of Lord Cornbury, (edward Hyde) eldest son of the Earl of Clarendon. The greatest educational step of the colony was taken in 1705, when Andrew Clark, an Englishman, came over and Opened the first public school. There were then persons in New York. The Upas-tree of the century was planted in 1709, when the first slave-mart was Opened at the foot of Wall Street slip, on the site Of the old block house. This same year may also be said to have been the first plank in the financial history of this city, paper money having then been introduced. Broadway, between Maiden Lane and what is now City Hall Park, was laid out in 1712. The negro oppression riot also burst forth again in that year. There were six city policemen (they were known as watchmen). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
