Description

Excerpt from Observations on the System of Metallic Currency: Adopted in This Country The following compilation is the result of an attempt to investigate the principles on which a well-regulated metallic currency should be founded. Nearly the whole of it is already before the public in one shape or another, but, being dispersed through various writings, few persons have sufficient leisure or inclination to collect and arrange the matter for themselves. For this reason, it is hoped that these notes will be found useful to those who may wish to have before them, in a small compass and in a condensed form, the facts and arguments which have hitherto determined the course of this question in England - the objections which have been raised against the present system - and the measures which have been proposed to remedy its defects. In all investigations into these matters, attention will necessarily be drawn to the writings of Lord Liverpool, particularly to his celebrated "Treatise on the Coins of the Realm" published in 1805, on the suggestions and arguments in which our present system has been established. This work has deservedly attained a high degree of reputation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
