Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Commercial and Business Anecdotes: Comprising Interesting Reminiscences and Facts, Remarkable Traits and Humors, and Notable Sayings, Dealings, Experiences, and Witticisms of Merchants, Traders, Bankers, Mercantile Celebrities, Millionnaires, Bargain Makers, Etc., EtcIt is believed that the general arrangement and classification of this volume are scarcely susceptible of improvement. They are such as to relieve the matter Of all stiffness, formality, and tediousness, while they at the same time open up, at the reader's will or fancy, and in pleasing diversification, all the various spheres and phases of commerce, business life, and its individual appertainments. It is not claimed, however, that there are no instances to be found, where portions Of one department might not as appropriately - and perhaps more so - have had a place under some other specialty. The difficulties Of perfect precision in this respect, in such a work, are obvious, and were frequently felt in the allotment of its contents. For any incongruities that may thus be manifest, a lenient criticism is asked.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
