ART. I. Annals of Commerce, Manufactures, Fisheries, and Navigation, with brief Notices of the Arts and Sciences connected with them; containing the Commercial Transactions of the British Empire and other Countries, from the earliest Accounts to the Meeting of the Union-Parliament in January 1801, &c. &c. &c. By David Macpherson. 4 vol. 4to. Edinburgh, 1805. Mundell & Son, &c.

THERE are few books of reference, whofe utility has been more
generally acknowledged, than that of Anderson's History of
Commerce; and perhaps, fince its firft appearance, there has not
been a single writer on any tract of modern history, who has not
been led to confult it, and to derive from it fome part of his ma-
terials. The author, who, during forty years of a long life, had
been employed in the service of the South-Sea Company, poffef-
fed the means of becoming intimately acquainted with the moft\
complicated commercial concerns of the British empire during that
period; and his private ftudies being naturally directed to the
fubjects of his daily occupation, he gradually collected the most
extenfive and valuable ftore of materials that books could furnish
for the economical history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centu-
ries. But this elaborate work extended only to the year 1760;
for which reafon it was thought advifeable, fome years ago, to pub-
lifh a fecond edition, with a continuation, the merits of which it is
not neceffary for us to difcufs. We fhall therefore only obferve,
that, by a constant adherence to this plan, the records of our com-
merce would have fhortly become as voluminous as thofe of our
Parliamentary proceedings, and that a trader of the nineteenth
century, who fhould have been defirous of learning the hiftory of
his predeceffors, muft have facrificed no fmall portion of his time
and capital in the acquifition of fuch information.
