“We believe the book is a useful one for the commercial courses of study now becoming popular in our institutions of learning and that it should be included in the reference libraries of engineering schools and engineering societies. The practicing engineer who meets problems in connection with the economics of water transportation will find in it up-to-date information obtainable only with great difficulty from other sources.”

“For the general reader the book has comparatively little interest, since it is necessarily elementary in matters most likely to attract him.”

“The entire lack of general treatises upon the subject of water transportation will incline teachers and students of the subject to extend a warm welcome. The most valuable portions of the volume are the chapters devoted to ocean transportation. Far less satisfactory is his discussion of shipping subsidies.”
