Book Description

Excerpt from The Law Relating to Secret Commissions and Bribes: Christmas Boxes, Gratuities, Tips, Etc;; The Prevention of Corruption Act, 1906 I have much pleasure in writing a word by way of introduction to the following pages. They deal with a subject of great importance to us as a nation, both in commercial and social life. In the complicated state of society now existing, the temptations to bribery and corruption are manifold, and the forms which they assume are sometimes misleading. I think that the present volume will be found helpful to those who desire, amidst these complications, to follow the path of honesty and to those who are called upon to advise on questions of this nature. I therefore willingly commend the volume to the attention of the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
