We repeat that the books are primarily characteristic of the trading practice of France, Germany, and Spain; but we would, in addition, point out that in the advanced handbooks we, after dealing fully with these characteristics, proceed to illustrate fairly exhaustively the practice of trading in operation in the French colonies, the German colonies, and the old Spanish colonies; and, lastly, the characteristics of the foreign countries adopting French, German, or Spanish as their recognised medium of communication. We also give facsimiles of French, German, and Spanish commercial documents and letters. Explanatory notes are also appended, wherever it is thought necessary, to throw light on points which may not be quite clear to the student or the trader..
