$' This admirable Desk Compendium gives the most recent practical information concerning the articles current in Commerce-their origin, pince I( of produce, market varieties, and t echnical nomenclature, synonyms in various lnnguages, &c. It condenses fresh information from our Consular and other Reports in a m anner not to be found in any other work. THE ECONOMIST. "This book is, as the preface informs us, 'men.nt as a com~endium of commercial information for all those who are preparing for a business life, as well as a useful r emembrancer for those who are engaged in it.' This intention it entirely fulfils. It is portable, in a clear type, and conveniently arr8Jlged. The descriptions of the various articles mentioned go into as much detail as is consistent with a capital print, and a comparatively small size of volume. Technical dictionaries of this kind are very useful assistants in the office n.nd the counting-house. The book concludes with .:i. list of the moneys, weights, n.ncl measures of the principal countries in the world." BIRMINGHAM DAILY POST. "This is a little book that we can cordially recommend. It contains between two n.nd three thousn.nd articles, as we roughly guess, varying in length from a single 1ine ~o about two pages, giving with clearness n.nd conciseness what is most ..orth knowmg about as mn.ny articles of commerce. Although intended primarily for t hose preparing for a business lifo, there are none to whom it will not be serviceable, as an auxiliary to books of every description, from mere ephemeral writings to works of imagination of the highest and most durable kind. Mr. Blakely is engaged in the Board of Trade, and has had exceptional opportunities of embodying the most re.cent and _a!-'thentic knowledge. It is Rcarcely ~ossible to read a page anywhere Wlthout gammg some scrap of useful information.' • MANCHESTER EXAMINER. " ~ell described M a compendium of commercial jnformntion for nil who 11.ro ]Jreparmg_ f~r a business life, as well as a useful remembrancer to those who are engage~ Ill it. The dictio~ary is there indeed, and something more, for it will assist less active men to the mearung of not a few mysterious terms... THE NONCONFORMIST.
