Excerpt from The Licensed Trade, 1907: An Independent Survey
In the course of an active journalistic career it has fallen to my lot to investigate various social and economic movements or developments of the day, and I have found that separate studies thereon, offered in compact form, and containing an abundance of actual fact, rather than of merely personal opinion, have been not unacceptable to the British public, especially when such studies have dealt either with new subjects or with old controversies on new lines. It is under the latter category the present volume fells. It represents, in effect, an attempt to deal with 'The Licensing Problem' from the point of view of the actual traders, as seen, however, by an independent investigator, rather than from the more or less academical, theoretical, or idealistic standpoint of outside critics; and in this respect, therefore, it may claim to occupy an almost unique place in the literature on the subject - apart, that is, from pamphlets or occasional review articles.
