Excerpt from Thirty Years of American Finance: A Short Financial History of the Government and People of the United States Since the Civil War, 1865 1896 His book undertakes a single task: to narrate the series of events which in uenced American financial history between 1865 and 1897, and to point out clearly and concisely the relation of those events to one another. I have made no attempt at abstract economic argument; therefore the reader will not find in these pages discussion of theories such as bimetallism and protection. That the nar rative should repeatedly encounter these and other theories in active Operation, is of course inevitable; the purpose and results of such experiments will be fairly and fully examined; but this book is designed to do no more. It is'not an economic treatise; it is a history of our own times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
