Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Mercantile Correspondence: A Collection of Modern Letters of Business, With Notes Critical and Explanatory, an Analytical Index, and an Appendix, Containing Pro Forma Invoices, Account Sales, Bills of Lading, and Bills of Exchange, Also an Explanation of the German Chain Rue, as Ap The following sheets have been compiled with a view to supply a deficiency that has hitherto existed in our literature. It appears a remarkable anomaly that, in a country so eminently commercial as Great Britain, the initiatory studies of young men destined for mercantile life should be so notoriously neglected. Our literature, copies enough in almost every other branch, affords abundant facility for an appropriate course of tuition and study for the liberal professions and the arts; but, to the young merchant, it proffers little assistance of the kind required. We have excellent dictionaries of commerce, and works of practical utility in this department; but none, that I have met with, calculated to form the youthful mind to habits of business, and familiarize it with the objects to which its future energies are to be directed. Nothing, I conceive, can better conduce to this end than a collection of genuine commercial letters, of recent dates, adapted at once to form the style, and to afford a correct insight into the business of the counting-house. In fact, the utility of such a collection has been long acknowledged; and its want felt, as well by the young gentlemen themselves, as by those tutors who profess to give their pupils a commercial education.
