Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case Against Bimetallism The effect is that the essays are not in the order which would have been adopted in a systematic treat ment of the Subject. If I had had time and strength, I should have endeavoured to recast them; but this is not possible for me, and an introduction like the present becomes necessary. The first essay, then - which I have now called The General Case against Bimetallism, and which, when it was first published in 1879 in the Fortnightly Review, was simply described as The Case against Bimetallism - deals with the whole argument from the point of View of the disorder and extravagance of bimetallic literature, and on the assumption that the main issue, to which I made the briefest reference in passing, had long since been decided. The reference is there, but the main topic is the extravagance of the language and argument of bimetallists as currency faddists.
