Excerpt from Congressional Currency: An Outline of the Federal Money SystemIt is the Object of these chapters to present within a brief compass and with as little technicality as possible an outline of the genesis, growth, and condition Of the existing currency system of the United States, a short account of each of the various kinds of money or circulating medium now in use, and a consecutive statement of the most conspicuous or important acts of legislation in connection therewith, concluding with a sketch of the judicial interpretation which such legisla tion has received at the hands of the Supreme Court. To have sought to trace in detail the records of monetary events, and to narrate the financial history of the govern ment from its foundation, might have been both profitable and pertinent to the sub jcet in hand, but, for the sake of brevity, the scope of this work has been so limited.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
