In the following pages an attempt has been made to treat the phenomena of money, from first to last, from the historical standpoint. As regards the money of antiquity I have been indebted for many valuable suggestions toM r. George Macdonald, M.A., the editor of the recently issued Catalogue of Greek Coins in the Hunterian Collection, who also has been good enough to read the proofs for me. In Chapters I. and II. of the first part I have drawn considerably on two articles contributed to the Journal of Political Economy (U.S.A.), as well as on a paper published in the Transactions of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow for 1898 ;and inC hapters V. and VI. of the second part on two articles contributed to theE conomic Review.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origin and evolution of money as a fundamental aspect of societal development. The author argues that currency has transitioned from a state of being used primarily for transactions to becoming a standard of value. Examining historical examples, from ancient Greece to 18th century England, the author illustrates how the standard of value has shifted gradually from silver to gold over time. The book delves into the correlation between monetary systems and foreign trade, highlighting the influence of economic necessities and social opinions on the adoption of gold as the global standard. By uncovering the historical factors that have shaped monetary systems, this book provides valuable insights into the evolution of money and its enduring significance in human civilization.
