Présentation de l'éditeur
To apology would seem to be necessary for publishing an essay on Currency and Banking. The derangement of our currency has brought the subject home to every mans business and bosom with an intensity which has made it the engrossing topic of the country. It is however a subject of great difficulty; as a science it is abstruse and recondite. In practical application, we find every possible variety of opinion; the great obstacle to the restoration of a sound currency is believed to be an erroneous public opinion. In the hopes of doing something in re forming erroneous views the present slight and hasty sketch is offered. The object is to present those principles which have the sanction of the best writers on the subject and which all experience is believed to confirm, in a form to be applied to the present condition of the country. Unfortunately the subject has been connected with the party politics of the day. Nothing can be more unfavorable to the development of truth, on questions in political economy, than such a connection. A good deal which is false, with some ad mixture of truth, has been put forward by political partisans on either side. As it is the wish of the writer that the subject should be discussed 011 its own merits and free from such contaminating connection, he has avoided as much as possible all reference to the political parties of the day. BOSTON, MAY, 1841.
