THE CUSTOMS' TARIFFS

OF

ALL NATIONS;

COLLECTED AND ARRANGED UP TO THE YEAR 1855.

BY C. N. NEWDEGATE, M.P.

THE TIMES.

Among recent commercial publications has been a valuable and elaborate one by Mr. Newdegate, the Member for North Warwickshire, consisting of a Collection of the Customs' Tariffs of all Nations, brought down to the end of last year, and arranged upon the principle of the work supplied to the Prussian Government in 1852 by M. Otto Hübner.'

THE ATHENÆUM.

To the elaborate tables prepared by M. Hübner, who occupies a high place among the statists of Germany, Mr. Newdegate has added a mass of information collected by himself. For several years, dissatisfied with the commercial statistics presented to Parliament, he laboured to induce successive administrations to procure a systematic return of tariffs for the use of the public. Thick-ribbed routine opposed his endeavours. At length, in 1852, when M. Otto Hübner, under the sanction of the Prussian Government, published his compendious work, Mr. Newdegate was supplied with a basis for his own undertaking. In vain he invited Ministers to present him with an official translation of M. Hübner's book. He was forced to do himself that which he says a department should have done, and the volume now before us is the result. It is of a highly important character; and, excepting that it omits the tariffs of the Sandwich Islands, of Nicaragua, of Honduras, and the Mosquito territory, appears to be complete. To merchants, shippers, and traders in all parts of the world, but more especially in Great Britain and the British Colonies, it must become a manual of commercial reference, detailing as it does, with the utmost simplicity of plan, the methods and amounts of duties levied on every article specified in the tariffs of every nation. Explanatory notes are affixed to each national or political division, referring to money, weights, measures, restrictions, prohibitions, and monopolies. In the case of the Dutch in the Eastern Archipelago, for instance, these were exceedingly intricate, rendering Mr. Newdegate's tables of essential value. It would be difficult to over-estimate the public-spirit and the scrupulous, patient care which have led to the publication of this most meritorious work.'

THE SPECTATOR.

'Mr. Newdegate, after vainly attempting to induce Government to extend and improve the publication of commercial statistics, has himself collected and published the tariffs of various nations, in redemption of a voluntary pledge he gave in the House of Commons.

THE FRIENDS AND CONTEMPORARIES OF LORD CHANCELLOR CLARENDON.

BY LADY THERESA LEWIS.

'Lady Theresa's researches have enriched her biographies with much valuable matter, which we have not met in any hitherto published work.'-Morning Chronicle.

'A clear judgment, an elegant taste, and considerable industry, stimulated by family associations to a course of historical and biographical inquiry, are displayed in these biographies.'-Spectator.

They form an excellent pendant to the "History of the Rebellion," and combine, with the responsible earnestness of the political memoir, some of the most fascinating characteristics of the romantic chronicle.'-Fraser.

"The "Descriptive Catalogue of the Portraits" is, both for completeness and good taste, an excellent example of a biographical portrait gallery. The lives are written more fully than they have been before; indeed, they might each be considered as a substantive work.'-Gentleman's Magazine.
