Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Bimetallism BY invitation of the President and Fellows of Har vard University, I delivered a course of lectures on Bimetallism in that institution during the academic term now drawing to a close. Of those lectures this book is the public outcome. The material thus brought together is now published, the lecture form being aban doned, while the order of topics and the style of treat ment are preserved. I am much indebted to Prof. Willard Fisher, of Wesleyan University, and to Pres ident Andrews, of Brown University, for their gener ous assistance. Prof. Fisher has kindly read, not only the manuscript, but the proofs of this work. While he cannot, under the conditions of a hurried revision and publication, be held responsible for any errors which may still remain, I gladly acknowledge many valuable suggestions and corrections from his pen. While I began to write on money for the newspapers as early as 1858, my published works on the subject began with the issue of my large treatise in 1878. The year following I delivered a course of lectures in the Lowell Institute, of Boston, which were brought out in book form under the title Money, Trade, and Industry. I do not know that I have had occasion to change a single one of the opinions expressed in those volumes. The subject seems to me, as it has always seemed, a perfectly simple one if prejudice and passion are not allowed to obscure it.
