Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Trade Book The conclusion to be drawn from J evons' facts would seem a pretty Obvious one had it not taken so long to be realised. It is that no argument can stand which does not take account of the cycle of trade. NO comparison of isolated years, no comparison of short consecutive periods can be relied upon to give properly comparable data. And if averages are to be used at all, the least that must be demanded are decennial averages. By averaging each year with at least nine others, allowance will be made for the usual number of fat and lean seasons; and by a series of decennial averages taken annually, it will be possible to indicate with accuracy the general trend of phenomena as distinguished from the oscillations of particular years.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of British Trade and Industry IN the following pages I have endeavoured to sketch in outline the leading features of the History Of British Trade and Industry. It has necessarily meant a rigid compression of facts, and has left little room for comment or deduc tion still, the narrative will be found, I trust, to present sufficient of regular sequence to enable it to be followed with interest and those who desire to investigate particular points more fully can easily do so by turning to special books covering those points. At a time like the present, when so many are halted, as it were, at the fiscal cross roads, um certain as to the way to take - tether back ward Or forward, or along some hazily defined middle course - it is well that the lesson Of the industrial past should be studied, and if the story as here set down should act in some slight degree as an incentive to that study its purpose will have been served.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trade Relations of the British Empire The original edition was hed almost simultane ously with the birth of on that has since raged so fiercely round the subject it deals with. It is hardly necessary to say, therefore, that it was written entirely free from the influence of the controversy, and in a much calmer and more judicial frame of mind than would be possible now. Reperusal of the work has convinced me that no new facts have been brought to light in the interval to modify the position I then took; rather am I more firmly of the opinion that it one. For this reason I have decided to text, with only such alterations as are necessary to make the incorporated statistics the latest obtainable; and whenever I have desired to make fresh comment, I have done so in the form of a special footnote, thus making the second edition as nearly as possible an exact reproduction of the first.

Download or read book British Merchant Shipping Classic Reprint written by Clement Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Merchant Shipping In January, 1921, it was my privilege to deliver a lecture in the University of Liverpool on the subject of British Shipping in Relation to British Trade, and shortly afterwards it was suggested that I should expand my paper into a book on British Shipping. This volume is an attempt to carry out the suggestion. My aim in writing it has been to retrace the steps by which we, as a country, have come into the possession of our Mercantile Marine, and to describe the methods that we pursue in our task of maintaining it. I thought at first that the subject of British Shipping was too vast to be dealt with adequately in one volume, for there is enough material in the past history and the present performance of our Merchant Service to fill a shelf. On the other hand, it would be useless to present that busy person, the general reader, with a whole row of books and expect him to have time to cope with so bulky a work. Some day a complete history of Shipping, with all the details and ramifications of its manage ment, ought to be written, but it will not be a one-volume affair. In the meantime, I have been obliged to condense and omit where I should have preferred to expand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The British in China written by Cades Alfred Middleton Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British in China: And Far Eastern Trade This book has been written in the hope of interesting the British and the Chinese in the development of the vast natural resources of China. It was commenced in the early days of the war; many Of the ideas set forth were thought out during the long night-watches on searchlight duty. Notes for the book have been jotted down in queer places and in various countries. Some were made on steamers off the China coast; others in a sedan chair in a Chinese city; one was written in the Forbidden City in Peking; and yet another in a Chinese gaming-house at Canton. A few are survivals of pre - war journeys in Siberia, the United States, and Canada. One was put down in Egypt, others in Europe, but the book was written in hong-kong. The self-imposed task has given me more pleasure than any other piece of work, not excluding scientific research, which I have been able to finish. In times of disappointment, after my day's work was over, there was always encouragement in the wonderful story of men of my own race in China, and I have turned to the task now ended for relief during those long absences from home life which are inevitable for those of us who live in the Far East. Perhaps the chief stimulus was the desire to record some facts which I want my three boys, now at school in England, to appreciate. For they spent with me many happy hours of their young lives in China, and I hope that some day they will be ready and eager to maintain the best traditions of their race. There have been, as always, difficulties. First of all, there was the groping for the desired information and finally the less exciting, indeed the distressing, duty of eliminating much of it. For in its original form the book was at least twice the Size of this volume; but it became Obvious, even to the author, that neither a sympathetic reader nor a kindly publisher could maintain an interest in such a long story.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, 1920, Vol. 34 We should also like to see the provisions against dumping in operation in Canada and other of our overseas Dominions substituted for those in the Bill. The collection Of differences between Foreign Value and Import Price, and Foreign Value and Price on First Sale, must entail confusion and delay, and it would Simplify things to apply to dumped goods generally a tarifi scale calculated on such a basis as would cover all possible cases of dumping. Again, the best criterion for deciding whether dumping is taking place ortnot, is the actual price at which the goods are being 'sold in the country of origin. Then the list of key industries in Part 3 can scarcely fail to occasion dissatisfaction. Many budding and promising industries, which do not appear in the list, are certain to be subjected to the fiercest competition, and every Opportunity ought to be given manu facturers to prove that their industries come within the scope Of the Bill. Lastly, the feeling of the business community is anta 4gonistic to trade by licence; of this method Of carrying on commercial transactions it had long and bitter experience during the war. Still with all its drawbacks the Bill has an excellent foundation, and if the objectors are many there is no doubt that with careful revision it can be made a workable and beneficial measure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Trade and the Zollverein Issue I take the materials in alphabetical order, drawing the figures from the invaluable Annual Statement of the Trade of the United Kingdom with Foreign Countries and British Possessions, for 1901, compiled by the Custom House.* I give these figures in detail because the average reader, although well acquainted with the sources of supplies of the raw material of the trade in which he is particularly interested, may not be an fait with the recondite details of the many and diverse industries which employ the skill of our people. It is idle to discuss a Zollverein or preferential tariffs without knowledge of these practical details, which are, as a rule, carefully avoided by the spinners of fine theories of Imperial trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Fish Trade Few things are more remarkable in modern politics than the care which is almost everywhere taken to illustrate, by statistics the science of government. In the United Kingdom elaborate arrangements are made with this object. Public officers are employed in enumerating the flocks and herds; in recording the crops which are sown; and in counting every bale of goods which is either imported into, or exported from, the country. The writer, who desires to procure statistical information on almost any subject connected with the growth, the health, the condition, or the industry of the people, is able to obtain it in an authoritative form, and in a convenient and cheap volume. The success which the "Statistical Abstracts" have achieved has induced their authors to extend their scope. The Statistical Abstract of the United Kingdom has been supplemented by statistical abstracts for the Colonies, for India, and for even foreign countries. A vast mass of information of almost immeasurable value has in this way been collected, and the student or the inquirer is able to obtain facts on almost every subject to which either his studies or his investigations may be directed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Perils to British Trade: How to Avert Them It is usual, however, for the professional advocates of the Free Trade policy of this country to attempt to justify it, not so much by any defence, or direct apology for it, on its essential merits, as by inferences in its favour derived from a misrepresentation of the policy of Protection. The most systematic and audacious misrepresentation of facts, and the most persistent falsification of history, are now the sole basis for popular belief in it or patience with it. The Corn Law controversy is falsely described and disposed of. The temporary and artificial prosperity of this country during the years of our monopoly of the improved tools of production and distribution, and during those years when other great nations were engaged in exhausting wars - is all ascribed to the Free Trade policy and any attempt or proposal to revert to fiscal regulation of external trade is falsely described as limiting the supply of needful commodities, and attempting to create a monopoly for landlords. There is, therefore, no scientific de fence offered or possible for the present fiscal policy of Great Britain, but a very unscientific and sense less fetish worship is set up in place of critical in vestigation and fair discussion.
