The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 14

[introduction]

It will be observed that the several amounts and totals of this table largely differ from those cited elsewhere, and which are taken from the Colonial Abstract. For such differences there are many good and sufficient reasons, as for instance :—Values leaving this country are incremented on arrival in colonies, so are Colonial values on arrival here, the freight and profits being in each case added. Moreover, the totals being for the Calendar year at each end, the results are incomparable, since it is evident that the january imports of Australia cannot be the January exports of the Home Country to that colony, nor the February arrivals in United Kingdom from Ceylon and Singapore the January exports from those possessions.
