Though the educator - believing that nothing is of any use in this world unless it can be applied - deals at great length with the education which tells in commerce, it is not to be understood that it is a book which merely helps to make money. If it is one of the pur poses oi the work to be a guide in the choice of a career, to make a successful man of business, an efficient worker in any trade or calling, it is not less within its aim to make of him a capable citizen and a scholar. The self-educator is designed to endow those who study it with a practical knowledge of the world in which we live, an intelligent appreciation of the principles upon which all life and nature are based, and an education which will enable them to be worthy members of society. It is not an easy task to arrange an ordered plan of knowledge and industry which, while simple and clear, is also adaptable to the exigen cies of serial publication. British commerce is a maze in which trades overlap and boundaries cross in bewildering confusion. A court of law once sat nine days, it is said, to decide what was a joiner's work and what was not, and it would require a millennium to devise a scheme of industry in which each task should hold its preper place and each man should perform his preper task. But it is believed that the self educator is at least a contribution to such a scheme of unity, and that those who study its methods will find any subject with ease. An exhaustive index, which will form a complete guide to the work, will be issued at the end, but it is desirable that the plan of the work should be thoroughly understood as it appears.
