Excerpt from Monetary and Banking Systems: A Comprehensive Account of the Systems of the United States With Complete Statistical Information and Brief Accounts of the Systems of Other Nations; Also Abstracts of Plans for Currency Reform in the United States

The recent financial crisis has turned public attention actively toward the study of the subject of currency reform, and the need for a compendium, pre senting the data requisite to a thorough understanding of the question, has manifested itself. I have therefore completed a revision, begun last summer, of my Monetary Systems (published in and brought the statistics, which proved so useful a decade ago, down to the present time, adding thereto much other valuable material.

The scope of the work has been altered considerably; in 1896-7 the coinage question was under discussion and the design then was chiefly to give concise and accurate information bearing specifically upon that phase of our money question. Today we are called upon to consider the paper currency feature, and the present volume accordingly deals more extensively with the facts which relate to note-issuing and banking. Our own monetary system. And the volume of our money-supply, are, however, given the fullest treatment; I have in fact accorded them a much larger space in this volume than in the previous one, including data relative to the enormous credit expansion in recent years.
