Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Letters on the Price of Gold: Contributed to the Morning Chronicle (London) In August-November, 1809
The immense transactions which he Ricardo] had with the Bank of England, in the course 0 business, tallying with the train of study on which he was then engaged, led Mr. Ricardo to reflect upon the subject of the cur reney, to endeavour to account for the difference which existed between the value of the coin and the Bank notes, and to ascertain from what cause the depreciation of the latter arose. This occupied much of his attention at the time, and it formed a frequent theme of conversation with those among his acquaintance who were inclined to enter upon it. He was induced to put his thoughts upon paper, without the remotest view of the time to publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
