The Legends Of Flowers - Or, 'Tis Love That Makes The World Go Round - By Paolo Mantegazza - PREFACE - AN old Italian proverb says in joke-making a pun-that Traduttore - is synonymous with Traditore-a translator is a traitor. Indeed it is so in most cases. Languages are like clothes made according to measure, which do not adapt themsdvcs except to the wearer. The Englishman thinks in an Englishway, the Italian in an ltalian way, and to the Englishman no language adapts itself better to his mind than English, nor to the Italian than Italian, and this is the case with everyone in all nationalities.

INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS MANAGEMENT- A HANDBOOK ADDRESSED PARTICULARLY TO SECRETARIES OF INDUSTRIAL CONCERNS, AND COMMERCIAL STUDENTS by EDWARD BROWN. Originally published in 1930. PREFACE: THIS book has been written in an endeavour to deal from a practical standpoint with the day-to day problems which arise in the life of the man who is called upon to organize and control the commercial side of an industrial company of medium size not so large, on the one hand, as to require a highly skilled specialist in charge of each department, nor so small, on the other hand, as to be capable of management by personal and visual methods without any formal or written systems worth mentioning. In writing it I have had in mind primarily the secretary who is called upon to act more or less officially as commercial manager of his company, and there are very many in medium-size concerns but I hope that it will be found equally helpful by business managers of other types, and also by students, many of whom have little opportunity of obtaining practical knowledge of commercial office routine. It may perhaps be thought that some of the questions dealt with are of a somewhat elementary character but in my experience it is just the neglect of detail of this description which often spoils the effective working of an otherwise sound scheme, and I have consequently tried to cover the minor points which are so frequently over looked when drawing up a general outline of office control. In order to concentrate on the practical aspect of the matter I have drawn most of the illustra tions from my own experience and from the industry in which I have been engaged for many years but the principles involved are equally applicable to most industrial concerns, and the methods indicated can be easily adapted to the requirements of any particular business.
