Money and the Mechanism of ExcJiangc, 



Vol. XVII. of the Intebnational Scibntifio SF.niEa. By W. Stanley Jevo.x s, M. A., 

 F. R. S., Professor of Logic and Political Economy In the Owens College, Man- 

 chester. 1 vol., 12mo. Cloth. Price, |1.75. 



" He offers us what a clear-sighted, cool-headed, scientific student has to say on tho 

 nature, properties, and natural laws of money, without regard to local interests or na- 

 tional bias. His work is popularly written, and every page is replete with solid Instruc- 

 tion of a kind that is just now lamentably needed by multitudes of bur people who are 

 victimized by the grossest fallacies." — Popular Science Monthly. 



" If Professor Jevons's book is read as extensively as It deserves to be, we shall 

 have sounder views on tho use and abuse of money, and more correct ideaa on what a- 

 circulating medium really means."— i?osto/i Saturday Evening OazHle. 



"Prof. Jevons writes in a sprightly but colorless style, without trace of either 

 prejudice or mannerism, and shows no commitment to any theory. Tho time is not 

 very far distant, wo hope, when legislators will cease attempting to legislate upon 

 money before they know what money is, and, as a possible help toward such a change, 

 Prof. Jevons deserves the credit of having made a useful contribution to a depart- 

 ment of study long too much neglected, but of late years, we are gratified to say, bo- 

 coming less so:'— The Financier, New York.

"This work will be found very useful to the merchant, economfst, and banker, as 

 the arrangement is highly convenient for reference, and in a form and classification 

 never before presented to the public. It also contains a series of tables, arranged alpha- 

 betically, showing the value of each unit as given both in the English and the metric 

 standards. The metric system is used coextensively with the ordinary system, and 

 is a characteristic feature of the book. 



"The contents, among other things, contain the following useful and comprehen- 

 sive tables, viz. : I. Measures of Length, in both tho English or American feet or 

 inches, and in French metres. II. Road-Measures in English miles and French kilo- 

 metres. III. Land-Measures. IV. Cubic Measures. V. Liquid Measures. VI. 

 Dry Measures. VII. Weights, and finally Money. This latter table is one of tho most 

 useful and valuable tables probably to be found, giving as it does the standards ia 

 dollars, ii-ancs, sterling, and marks, and alone is worth the cost of tho book."— .V. Y. 

 Commercial and Financial Chronicle. 



""We commend this carefully-prepared and convenient volume to all persons who' 

 vrish to acquire information on the subject of which it treats."— i?os^on Globe. 



"The work necessary to the production of this Uttle volumo has been judiciouslj
