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.”
