render the work as extensively useful as possible to the general reader, all denominations of foreign monies referred to in connexion with foreign finance, are reduced into English currency, and a Table showing the relative value of foreign monies in English sterling has been prepared expressly for this work by Messrs. Adam Spielmann and Co., Foreign Bankers and Bullion Dealers, Lombard Street.

It would be presumptuous indeed to suppose that a work involving such a variety of subjects, and such extensive calculations, would be incapable of improvements, or free from errors; but on these points the Editor solicits the indulgence of the public, and will receive with pleasure any suggestion on the one or correction of the other.

In closing these introductory remarks, the Editor cannot fail to express his obligations to several Gentlemen who have, in the most courteous manner, afforded him information respecting the debts of foreign countries, under their especial management, as well as to other Gentlemen whose position and pursuits have well qualified them to render him valuable assistance. The Editor has now only to submit the result of his labours to the test of public opinion, which is the only correct measure of the merits due to a public writer.
