London Selling Wool Brokers. The section relating to Customs and Excise has been revised by a competent hand while the numerous forms explaining the importation and exportation of goods have all been filled in by the chief shipping clerk of a leading firm of whole sale Grocers. For my facts relating to the Docks and much other information, I am indebted to Mr. A. H. W. Owen of the General Manager's Staff, Port of London Authority, a highly successful Commercial teacher at East Ham Technical College. The facts of Commercial Law interspersed throughout the book are taken, by permission of the Publishers, from Mr. Disney's Elements of Commercial Law, but should any misstatement be discovered in this connection the responsibility is mine. Mr. T. E. Young, b.a., late President of the Institute of Actuaries, has kindly read the section dealing with Life Assurance, and has also supplied the novel mathematical examples explaining the rudiments of actuarial work. I am also further indebted to Mr. Young and his Publishers for permission to use that luminous work, A Plain Guide to Investment and Finance, which ought to be in the hands of every Commercial teacher and business man throughout the country. The heavy drafts I have made from this book are frequently in the learned and sagacious author's own words. In the preparation of the section dealing with the Foreign Exchanges I have had the assistance of a foreign Bill Broker; and in that ion the Stock Exchange of a Stock Broker. The facts relating to Marine Insurance and General Average are, by permission, taken from Mr. Frederick Templcman's well-known and valuable book Marine Insurance: Its Principles and Practice while those relating to Fire and Miscellaneous Insurance have been ki communicated by a high official in one of our best-known offices.
