Excerpt from A Financial, Monetary and Statistical History of England: From the Revolution of 1688 to the Present Time; Derived Principally From Official Documents; In Seventeen Letters Addressed to the Young Men of Great Britain
I dedicate this book to you, because you are, as yet, very young men; and because that which I now address to you is equally applicable to any other young man of a similar age. DO not fancy that I expect that you should now look into this volume, because it is so dedicated. I know well enough, that youth has pursuits and pleasures of its own, which it will not leave to interest itself in subjects like those which are here discussed. This is as it should be - but this state of youth does not last for ever. It is evanescent; and new thoughts and new motives quickly come in with the march of time.
You are, or in all certainty must in future time be, engaged in some branch Of traffic or dealing which will, day after day, bring you in contact with others.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
