In writing the following pages, I have attempted to do little more than to treat the history of the Latin Union, from its formation in 1865 to the present time. This book, therefore, is not a history of money in France and the allied countries, nor does it pretend to give a full account of the bimetallic controversy during the period in question. The reasons for this limitation in scope will be sufficiently apparent to require no detailed mention. Unity of purpose, however, has not been sought to the exclusion of matter which, while not directly pertinent to the subject in hand, is yet of importance in comprehending its historical relations. It has thus been thought helpful to give some attention to the course of monetary events leading up to action on the part of the Latin Union as a whole. Only so much has been said of the international bimetallic conferences as was necessary to explain the attitude adopted toward them by the union itself. A gain, no more attention has been paid to the inconvertible paper of France and Italy than was necessary to explain the influence exerted by this currency upon the metallic money, in altering its distribution and deranging the working of the regulations providing for international circulation. The effort has everywhere been made to rely mainly upon original sources for information. In discussing the action of the Latin Union itself, the material has, of course, been gathered solely from the official reports. Nearly all of the important monetary documents published in France, Belgium, and Italy since 1850, especially those bearing directly upon the bimetallic question, have been examined. In studying the course of exchange and kindred matters, reliance has been placed upon the quotations as published in financial journals like the Economiste Fran(ais and London Economist, but, in attempting to explain the condition of th (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

(Excerpt from A History Latin Monetary Union: A Study of I...)
Excerpt from A History Latin Monetary Union: A Study of International Monetary Action The object of this study, then, has been (i) to furnish an impartial historical account of the various steps taken by the Latin Union, especially so far as concerns its treatment of the silver question and (2) to see how far such an account will furnish support for certain current notions regarding the monetary problem as affected by the action of the Latin Union. The book aims to be nothing more than a historical monograph, and makes no effort to enter into the merits of the monetary question as such.

(Excerpt from the beginning: "The Federal Reserve Act, pas...)
Excerpt from the beginning: "The Federal Reserve Act, passed by Congress on December 23, 1913, is the outcome of a discussion of banking conditions extending more or less sporadically over the years since the Civil War, but assuming an increasing degree of urgency from and after the panic of 1893.The National Banking System had been established during the Civil War, partly as the result of the Government’s financial necessities of that period. It was, before the adoption of the new act, a system of independent and unrelated banks with capitals varying from $25,000 to $25,000,000, holding out, practically irrespective of any definite principles, to any group of five individuals the right to organize and incorporate under its terms. Its characteristic feature, apart from this competitive and independent aspect, lay in its provision for the issuance of currency protected by the bonds of the National Government which were required to be purchased by each bank, as organized, to an amount not exceeding its capital stock, and not less than certain specified sums. Such bonds were then to be deposited with the Treasury Department to safeguard the note circulation of the depositing bank.Defects in the system very early began to make themselves manifest. The currency proved to be wholly inelastic, while the lack of relationship between the banks reduced public confidence in the solvency of the various institutions in times of panic or stress. Owing to such absence of confidence, individual banks were frequently assailed by withdrawals of cash leading to the familiar “runs” upon them, and these often aggravated financial crises. Although, therefore, sufficiently effective in times of financial ease and quiet, the National Banking System had entirely failed to furnish protection to the country at periods of stringency, over-expansion, or weakened reserves, while its currency was inadequate and unsatisfactory."
