Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bank of England's Charters: The Cause of Our Social Distress
Where the base of the circulation is a mixed one or uncertain, the above result must be a necessary consequence. The object of this book is to bring forcibly home to the popular mind that the monetary circulation of this country is not based on its standard of value, as is generally sup posed, but is - as a consequence of statute - based upon the Bank of England note.
