In very good condition, cloth a little bubbled. Scarce. Thus reviewed by the Colonies and India, (May 30, 1891): " So rapidly has the commercial intercourse between England and Spain increased of late years that it is almost as necessary for those who are about to enter upon a mercantile career to learn Spanish thoroughly as French or German and there is little doubt that it will in the future be much more generally taught than it has been in the past.
