Abstract
THE Institute of Industry and Commerce (now the Institute of Industry and Science), so the introductory leaflet states, is a counterpart of a German organisation known as the Hansa Bund. How the Hansa Bund arose or by whom and when it originated we have no knowledge. It is a confederation of important German firms for promoting, encouraging, and facilitating German home and foreign trade. It is. proposed by similar means, but on somewhat “superior lines,” to do the same for British industry, and the directors invite those interested in the development of our industries by the aid of science to enrol themselves as members. A portion of the revenue of each year is to be devoted to scientific research under the supervision of our most eminent men of science. Accompanying this leaflet are a number of brochures touching on the causes and effects of German commercial success and on the remedies for British commercial decline.
