American economists which are surveyed in this study have been strangely neglected by the later generations of American students. The article by Professor C. F. Dunbar, published inT heN orth American Review m1876, is the only previous American essay purporting to treat the subject. But Dunbar sarticle consisted almost entirely of a description of American conditions as explaining what he declared to be the utter sterility of American economic literature. The brief portion in which he spoke of writers is hardly more than a catalogue of names and titles compiled from previous reviews. Certainly in some cases, as Doctor Turner shows, and possibly in most, Dunbar was unacquainted with the originals. Even if he had read the books, he, as a representative of the classical school (which he believed had arrived at ultimate truths within the limits of its hypotheses), was not qualified to render a just estimate of the theories in question, however competent he was in the field of money and banking. Forty years have passed, and is it not indeed remarkable that our generation of economic students, so thoroughly grounded otherwise in the worlds literature of economics, should know little or nothing of these, our own, writers, and most of that little through Dunbar ssuperficial and condemnatory Article or through chance and usually disparaging references in the writings of English economists?

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
