Hitherto it has been a matter of continual difficulity for many professors of Economics and Finance, as well as businessmen, bankers, insurance officials, shipping officials, professional people and students to know exactly where to turn for the exact term in the three largely used languages in this modern time; but it is hoped and believed that the present volume will meet this difficulity, and that it will enable anyone to find in its pages ready, reliable and accurate terms in the three languages, whenever the need arises.

The following pages include, as far as possible, a reference to all the various related terms and their derivatives which come within the scope of a user's duties, as well as other matters which arise out of, or are associated, with the professional fields of economists, bankers, financiers, businessmen, professors and students. The English and Arabic appendices constitue a very important section as a reference to all the users of this work.
