RESTORING CURRENCY STANDARDS By E. L. Harcreaves, Ph.D. Demy 8vo. 110 pp. 6s. This book deals with the monetary history of America, France and Austria during the period 1780-1813. The author has unearthed much forgotten history, which is so like that of recent years as to suggest the adage * there is nothing new under the sun.” FINANCIAL RECONSTRUCTION IN ENGLAND, 1815-1822 By A. W. AcworTH, B.A. (Oxon.). Demy 8vo. 156 pp. 8s. 64. In 1815 asin 1918, England emerged from a great European War, victorious, but with an enormous load of Debt, a dislocated Budget, and an inconver- tible and depreciated paper currency. In both cases the return of Peace was associated with a period of unexampled industrial depression. This book represents an attempt to give a short account of what actually happened after 1815. THE AUSTRIAN CROWN : Its Depreciation and Stabilization By J. VAN WALRE DE Borpes, LL.D. With an Introduction by Sir HENRY STRAKOsCH, K.B.E. Demy 8vo. 252 pp. 15s. The notable and successful work which the League of Nations accomplished in improving the monetary position of Austria is here described by a member of the League Secretariat. The Economic Journal.—‘‘ This book is a very able attempt to test and restate current theories in the light of actual facts, carefully observed. It is neither a mere catalogue of events nor a series of deductive generalizations based on general tendencies, but a close inquiry into the phenomena accompanying the depreciation and stabilization of the Austrian crown, with an application of the results to general theories about the value of money . . . it is indeed one of the best books on currency questions which has appeared for some time.” P. S. KING & SON, LTD. 14 GREAT SMITH STREET, WESTMINSTER, S.W.1
