Excerpt from Commercial Geography
A Preface which may usually be dispensed with in a work of this character is needed in this particular case for three reasons.
In the first place, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness in compiling this little handbook to several important works, but chiefly to the invaluable Uebersichten der Welt-wirthschaft, a record started by the late Professor F. X. Von Neumann-Spallart, but now edited by Professor Franz Von Juraschck. It should be in the hands of all teachers dealing with the statistics of Commercial Geography. After this ScherzePs Produkt und Consum has been of most assistance to me.
In the second place, it is desirable to define the position of such a book as the present. It does not profess any originality. It is designed as a text-book to be used in schools and classes, and to furnish an outline sketch which may be filled in and elaborated by the teacher or lecturer.
In the third place, I would say a word as to the method I have employed.
