Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Account of England's Foreign Trade, in the Nineteenth Century, Its Economic Results The subject set for the essay for the Cobden Prize awarded at Cambridge University in December, 1892, was Changes in the Volume, Character, and Geographical Distribution of England's Foreign Trade in the Nineteenth Century, and their Causes. The essay which was then successful was not published at once, but has been re-cast and completed, while additions and changes have been made to bring it within the scope of the Social Science Series. As it now stands, it does not profess to be a com plete account of our recent foreign trade - that being of course impossible in a book of this size, where the subject of each chapter would easily fill a volume by itself; but an endeavour has been made to point out and give the right prominence to the more important of the events and causes that have affected the growth of trade, to touch on the more obvious of the social effects of this growth, and more especially to furnish an introductory text-book, which will supply the fundamental facts of this century's commerce in an easily accessible form.
