Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book collects speeches made by N. Vansittart in 1811 to a parliamentary committee considering the report from the Bullion Committee of 1810. Vansittart argues that the committee's recommendations are unfounded in law, largely due to their misunderstanding of the standard of value. Vansittart contends that the notes of the Bank of England do not show a loss of value as compared to legal coin or to generally available goods, and doubts the committee's assertions on the subject. The author claims that the Bullion Committee's reasoning about the depreciation of currency and its effects on the exchange are incorrect. He also asserts that the evidence shows a general scale of prices steadily rising for many years but unaffected by the suspension of cash payments at the Bank of England. Vansittart maintains that the unfavorable exchange resulted from the balance of payments turning against England due to the Napoleonic Wars and other contemporary political and economic developments.
