Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Political Economy, Vol. 3: N Z The aim of this work is the assistance of the English-speaking student of Economic Science to the better understanding of the questions in which he is interested. These questions, while dealing with matters of ordinary life, are often more abstruse and intricate than appears to a superficial observer, and they require careful thought and study to unravel. The performance of this task, difficult and laborious enough in itself, has not been rendered more easy by the fact that the work has to cover an absolutely new field in English literature. There exists at the present time no completed work in our language which exactly fills the same place, or which could in any way serve as a guide. The laborious commencement made by MacLeod extends only as far as the letter C. The Standard Library Cyclopedia of Political, Constitutional, Statistical, and Forensic Knowledge, 1860, does not cover the same ground; nor does the American Cyclopedia of Political Science, Political Economy, and United States History, 1888, undertake what has been attempted here. In the French and German languages there are very valuable works on the subject, among which may be cited the Dictionnaire de l'Economie Politique, edited by Coquelin and Guillaumin, 1853; the Nouvemi Dictionnaire d'Economie Politique, edited by Leon Say and Joseph Chailley, 1891; the Dictionnaire des Finances, edited under the direction of Leon Say by Louis Foyot and A. Lanjolley, 1889; and the Handworterbuch der Staatswissenschaften, edited by Conrad, Elster, Lexis, and Loening, the first part of the first edition of which was published in 1890, the second edition having been commenced in 1898. These works have been studied and their arrangement considered. But the dictionaries which cover the corresponding ground in other languages, though written by very competent and erudite men, could not serve exactly as models for a book intended for the English student, whose requirements had particularly to be provided for. Yet, although specially written for the English-speaking races, it is believed that this book may claim that international or cosmopolitan character which should mark any work on economic science; for, among the contributors, besides the many very able English, are numbered some of the most distinguished American and foreign Economists.
