Excerpt from The Investors' Review, Vol. 11: January 8 to July 1, 1898The chief purpose of the review is not warfare with any class or political creed, but to be a storehouse of facts; facts about trade, about industry, about man's conquests over Nature; facts first and everywhere inferences from facts afterwards. To the test of reality we shall always desire to bring the opinions. Expressed. Nothing shall be wilfully misrepresented in these columns, nothing set down from sinister motive and if we err, as must now and then happen with the best intentions, the error shall always be frankly acknowledged.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
