Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Commercial Geography Cotton and its natural distribution, for example, gain vital interest if treated in the United States, where cotton is most important, along with the facts relating to its manufacture and the general trade in it; while in England, Egypt, India, and Russian Central Asia cotton is treated only in its local application. A full index to all the information in the volume will be found useful for reference. Comparatively few statistics are included in the text. The statistical tables, at the end of most of the chapters, relate to the subject-matter of the chapter to which they are appended; it is hoped that they will be found full of information, which, in small space, will helpfully supplement the text. No statistics have been used that are not believed to represent normal conditions; for this reason older data, in some instances, have been regarded as preferable to the latest information. No figures relating to some countries have been used; in Cuba, for example, statistical data relating neither to the period before the insurrection of 1895 nor to some years later represented normal conditions of trade, and they were not used. The maps have been prepared with a view to illuminating the text, and conveying much information that could not otherwise be so graphically imparted. Most of them are compilations from a considerable number of official and other authoritative map sources, each contributing more or less data required for the purpose of the hook. On a few maps, reproduced from foreign sources, the origin of each map is indicated on the margin. The maps of Latin America were collated with very little cartographic material, mainly from data derived from official sources and the consular reports of the United States.
