Excerpt from The World's Commercial Products: A Descriptive Account of the Economic Plants of the World and of Their Commercial Uses Although the products of the plant world are of enormous commercial importance and enter largely into the every-day life of all of us, nevertheless it has hitherto been impossible to obtain an inexpensive illustrated book, written in English, affording a general summary of information concerning the useful plants of the world and their commercial utilisation. Works dealing with special groups are available, and innumerable papers on plant products are to be found in the publications of our economic and scientific departments at home and in the Colonies. This literature, however, is not readily available to a very large number of enquirers who desire a comparatively brief account of perhaps several important products. Illustrations of many economic plants, and of the methods employed in their cultivation and in the preparation of their produce, are even more inaccessible. The World's Commercial Products presents this information in English for the first time, accompanied by a wealth of illustrations many of which are entirely new. Every effort has been made to keep the book free from technicalities, and the plants are, as far as possible, referred to by their common names, although the scientific names are usually given as well, since they are often indispensable in determining exactly the plants referred to. The coloured plates will often be of assistance in depicting scenes to which full justice cannot be done in "black and white," but all the illustrations are from photographs, and can be depended upon as portraying faithfully the scenes they represent. Maps have been added showing the distribution of the principal cultivated plants, and many useful lessons may be drawn from them. One of the authors has spent some six years in the tropics, in Ceylon, the West Indies, and West Africa, engaged in economic botanical work, and much of the matter is described from first-hand knowledge.

Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...English colony of Virginia, and Francis Drake returned from that colony they brought back with them the cured tobacco leaf for smoking, and, in addition, certain pipes and apparatus used in the process. The tobacco and implements were handed over by them to Sir Walter Raleigh. There seems to be some difference of opinion as to who was the first Englishman to seriously adopt the new habit, but the honour is generally ascribed to Ralph Lane himself, and the stories of the first finding of Sir Walter Raleigh smoking by his servant, and the statement that he "tooke a pipe of tobacco a little before he went to the scaffolde " are too well known to need more than passing mention. No sooner had the custom of smoking become seriously adopted by a few individuals than it spread with marvellous rapidity among all nations, the most rapid strides in the spread of the habit taking place during the seventeenth century. The rapid increase in the use of tobacco was viewed by the authorities, and especially by the priestly classes, with the greatest concern, who saw in the habit the final complete demoralisation of the people. Even in our own country, in spite of the praises of the poets, the divines bitterly denounced the new herb which rapidly gained popularity among all classes of the people, notably among the soldiery. Strong as the opposition to tobacco was in England, the vehemence with which it was opposed was as nothing compared to the drastic measures taken for its suppression on the Continent, and it will be of interest to note the rise of the use of the fragrant weed in the chief countries of Europe. The practice of smoking tobacco did not become general in France until the reign of Louis XIII, when the habit took a great hold upon...
