Synopsis

Excerpt from Money and Its Relations to Prices: Being an Inquiry Into the Causes, Measurements, and Effects of Changes in General Prices The material contained in this Book was collected for a course of lectures delivered by the author last summer as Newmarch Lecturer in Statistics at University College, London. The manuscript has since been re-written, some of the reasoning re-cast, and the figures revised. The authorities, to whom reference has been made, are severally mentioned in the footnotes; and it only remains here to express a special debt of gratitude to two writers, to whom every student of the subject must feel that he owes peculiar acknowledgment. The name of Dr. Soetbeer is a household word in modern monetary statistics; and his fame is placed beyond dispute. The present author's obligations to him may be discovered in many passages. To Jevons' Investigations in Currency and Finance he is equally indebted; and a closer study of that book has confirmed his conviction that it may rank with the famous Report of the Bullion Committee among the classic productions of monetary science. If the earlier Report, in which the hand of Ricardo can be clearly traced, supplied the answer to the vexed problem of its day, it is no less indisputable that the intelligent study of the questions suggested by later movements of prices is impossible apart from an acquaintance with the Investigations of Jevons.
