Excerpt from American Political Economy: Including Structures on the Management of the Currency and the Finances Since 1861, With a Chart Showing the Fluctuations in the Price of Gold
Political Economy is eminently a practical science, and a treatise on it may profitably include much valuable informa tion respecting the habits of business, the course of domestic and foreign trade, and the methods which have been sug gested by experience for applying Labor and Capital to the best advantage. I have endeavored to incorporate into this work such partiars respecting the operations of banking, the disposal of the public lands, the office of bills of exchange, the functions of the currency, the supply of the precious metals, the various modes of taxation, and the financial his tory of this country for the last ten years, as might be useful, not only to young men in College, but to those who are about to enter the mercantile profession.
