cearness which delights while it instrncs 1t is in fact

uermgmefchants who 80 between nations whose large
operations bring many departments of knowledge and
view OF the state OF the word into daily requison But
is not the great merchant only but the one of more
modest but nevertheless of most useful opeations-he
to abound with the information the pursuit of his si
