Présentation de l'éditeur

The battle of the standards, wagdd bitterly within the memory of men still young, has ended with a triumph so complete that there is no longer pretender bold enough to dispute the sovereignty of gold. There may be question whether silver coins are not still preferable in large amounts for use in the undeveloped coimtries of the Orient, but even in those regions it is generally recognised that the monetary systems of the future must at least be based upon gold as the unit and standard of value. It is significant of this evolution that a book should find a place in this scientific series which treats distinctively of gold as the money metal of civilised nations It is a well-known fact that much of the gold which is now being poured into the monetary systems of the world could never have been extracted from the earth with profit under the old methods of production. Long ago, the alluvial deposits which made the fortunes of the Califomi Snforty-niners and of the pioneers in Australia weffe to a large degree exhausted.
