Transcriber's Notes:
All errors and inconsistencies in spelling, punctuation, and italicization have been retained, except as noted below.
The original did not have a table of contents; one has been added.
On p. 9, the title '[The geography of commerce]' had a lower case 't' in 'The' in the original.
On p. 10, the question ['What is meant by the "Factory System"?'] appeared in the original as 'What is meant by the "Factory System."'
On p. 12, the question ['What are the principal things besides money uses that cause a demand for gold and silver?'] had a full stop (period) instead of a question mark in the original.
On p. 15, in the phrase ['piece of the same denomination'] the original had 'demonination'.
On p. 17, in the reference to ['chs. VI, VII, XIII.'] the name 'Phillips' was not italicized in the original.
In the table at the top of p. 18 labelled 'Average prices for', there was no comma after ['Wool'] in the original.
On p. 18 the penultimate sentence in question 7, with the phrase ['weighting affect your first'], lacked a question mark in the original.
On p. 21 question 9, about 'Two men A and B', had 'transacton' instead of ['transaction'] in the original.
On p. 23, question 17, 'Suppose that this bank...', had two full stops (periods) instead of one after ['$102'.]
On p. 38, the hanging indent (if any) after the reference beginning ['Virtue,'] was a regular indent in the original.
On p. 42, in the reference beginning 'United States', the abbreviation ['Bul.'] was italicized in the original, although it was not italicized in its other occurrences.
On p. 44, the word ['and'] in the reference beginning 'Warren, B.' was italicized in the original.
On p. 46, the hanging indent, if any, after the reference to ['The work of rural organization'] was a normal indent in the original.
On p. 47, the author of 'Tenancy in the southern states', [B. H. Hibbard] was shown as H. E. Hibbard in the original.
On p. 49, the question ['How do urban and rural...'] had a full stop (period) instead of a question mark in the original.
On p. 53, presumably either the phrase ['these five plants produced 75 per cent.'] was meant to be 'these five plants produced 25 per cent.' or the phrase 'the remaining 75 per cent.' was meant to be 'the remaining 25 per cent.'
On p. 55, the initials of [LeRossignol] were not italicized in the original.
On p. 56, the phrase ['its prices elsewhere'] was 'its prices elsewere' in the original.
On p. 58, in the question about the 'doctrine of economic harmonies', the word ['justification'] was 'justificaton' in the original.
On p. 59, the question about ['unsuccessful employers'] had 'unsuccesful' in the original.
The phrase ['land owners'] occurs once in the text; the word 'land-owners', broken across lines, occurs once. This discrepancy has been retained, with the word ['land-owners'] rather than 'landowners' being arbitrarily chosen for the latter.
