The Trade of the United Kingdom with the World. By
Thomas J. Dymes. (Elliot Stock).—This little volume of not much more than one hundred pages is one of those politico-economic ready-reckoners which ought to be on the table of every politician and publicist. It gives the eoncisest possible account of the sources and supplies of our chief imports, and of the distribution of our chief exports, with an abstract of our commerce with each country in the world, and of the trade of the leading ports of the United Kingdom. It is so thoroughly tabulated, and the type in which it is printed s so clear, that one can obtain at a glance what one wants,—e.g., that in 1886 we exported 42,000,000 of haberdashery and millinery, showing a great falling-off since 1882, when the value was £4,000,000. Mr. Dymes has done his work, a portion of which was written expressly for commercial students, most admirably.
