Rh to the Central Chamber of Agriculture, Mr. Beard, Secretary to the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers, and Mr. J. C. Gray, Secretary to the Central Cooperative Board. All of these have most kindly and readily supplied me with information on the various points on which I consulted them; and I wish to take this opportunity of thanking them and of expressing my indebtedness to them, especially to Mr. James Howard, who prepared a very careful and elaborate estimate of the present annual value of the agricultural produce of the United Kingdom, which he placed at my disposal. My special thanks are also due to Mr. F. J. Dryhurst, who was for thirteen years my husband's secretary; he has revised all the proofs and helped me by a variety of valuable comments and suggestions.
