Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Commercial Relations of the United States With All Foreign Nations, 1857, Vol. 3 These documents are the answers of United States consuls to the circular of this Depart ment of March 15, 1854, already referred to, issued with a view to obtain the requisite materials for this Report. No very considerable portion of each of these returns, however, it was soon found, could be made available in the work; and, although parts of some of them might not be deemed of the first importance, still, as much valuable information would nuques tionably be withheld by their entire suppression, no better mode of making them serviceable could be thought of than to present them, with a few exceptions, exactly as received - such modifications, in form and substance, alone being made as seemed demanded by regard to uniformity and propriety. The authors of these returns have thus the credit of their service, when it has proved creditable, as it generally has, by having their names appended to their works, while they thus, also, receive salutary encouragement to make still more vigorous and useful efforts in the same manner in future. To make a digest of the varied and comprehensive commercial intelligence conveyed by these returns - the only remaining mode of disposing of them if they were neither to be published entire nor suppressed - would have involved an expenditure of time which could not, under all the circumstances of the case, be seriously contemplated, however valuable such digest, when completed, might have proved to be.
