Not illustrated. 1824 edition. Excerpt: ...the means of an increased consumption on the part of the community generally; and that it cannot consequently raise general prices through the medium of extra demand or consumption. That the general reasoning from whence this conclusion is derived, is fully confirmed by a reference to facts; for that in an interval of 105 years, from 1688 to 179e2, there was no observable coincidence between a state of war and a rise of prices, and a state of peace and a fall of prices; although in these wars, during that interval, a large part of the expenditure was defrayed by loans--whence it clearly follows, that a rise of general prices (taxed commodities excepted) is not a necessary consequence of a large war expenditure, defrayed by loan. That, w ith reference to the peculiar circumstances of the late war, there was no coincidence between the periods of the largest expenditure by government, and the greatest advance of prices, but in several striking instances the very reverse; viz. a greatly-increased expenditure, coincidently with a considerable fall of prices. That the monopoly of trade had not the effects commonly ascribed to it, of extending the shipping and foreign commerce of this country during the war; for the rate of increase of shipping and commerce during the existence of that monopoly was not greater than it had been before 1793, or has been since 181; and that the monopoly had not the effect of raising prices, because the very articles of which we had the exclusive possession, were precisely those which, when the monopoly was most strict, were lower in price than they ever had been before, or have been since: moreover, that the greatest rise of the prices of those articles was from the speculation on the approach, and eventually on the...

Tilt ADVE llTISEMENT TO THE SECOND EDITION. The revisal of this work for a second edition has afforded the ojjportunity for various corrections and alterations. The only fresh matter however of any importance, will be found in Part TI. and at the conclusion of Part IV. Part II. is greatly extended by a reference to additional facts, in support of the reasoning against the assumed influence of the monopoly of trade, and of the stimulus to increased production and consumption, arising out of the government ex)enditure during the war. At the conclusion of Part IV. I have given the substance of some information which has been communicated to me from a highly respectable quarter, relative to the great falling off in the produce of gold and silver in South A merica.

Not illustrated. 1826 edition. Excerpt: ...place, notwithstanding the immense proportional reduction of the amount of its issues coincidently with the progress of that drain of which I here give the statement.--The computed treasure compared with the issues stood thus: Cash and Bullion computed from the Scale. Bank Notes. March 1782.... 3,648,000.... 9,160,470 Oct. 1782.... 2,332,000.... 6,371,300 March 1783.... 1,261,000.... 7,338,230 Oct. 1783.... 473,000.... 5,894,520 The amount of bank notes here stated, is extracted from This contraction of the currency was attended, as might have been expected, with a great rise in the rate of interest; the best criterion of which is, that three per cent, consols which had risen in March 1783, immediatelyafter the peace, to 68, fell by the close of the year to 58, eventually to 54, and continued under 60 till September 1785. The omnium of a loan concluded in 1783, after having been at a premium of upwards of eight per cent, fell afterwards to below par. The rate of discount on mercantile bills, being limited by law to five per cent., affords of course no criterion; but all property yielding a revenue fell so much, as to indicate an extraordinary increase in the the Appendix to the Report of the Lords' Committee of Secrecy in 1797. Of the circulation previous to 1782, I have not been able to find any connected account for an uninterrupted series of years. Mr. Samuel Thornton, in his evidence before the Lords' Committee in 1819, p. 75, states, that in 1779 the amount of notes was 6,000,000, and that in 1780 they were increased to 8,400,000. It may be worth while here to remark, that assuming the above amounts to be correctly stated, an increase which eventually proves to be an excess, may be in progress for some time before it produces such an...

Some part of the following pages was written immediately after the appearance of the reports of the committee of the House of Commons on Banks of I ssue, and the greater part has since been put together without any definite view to publication. The reason which has determined me in now publishing them is, that whether the views here presented be assented to or not, they are such, I think, as ought not to Pbe wholly overlooked in the consideration of the Qmeasures which the government has announced its intention of proposing to Parliament in the course Tof the present session, with a view to placing the Qbanking system of the United Kingdom on an improved and permanent footing. Some of the points which I have endeavoured to establish may probably be thought not to be made out with sufficient fulness of explanation, and doubtless on several of the topics a more exhaustive process of proof and illustration might be required for the purpose of anticipating and answering objections. But such a process could not be comprised within a readable compass. It would require a book instead of a pamphlet. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1844 edition. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX. (A.) Page 68. From a wish not to encumber the argument as stated in the text, to which this is a note, I then abstained from noticing a prepossession or prejudice (besides that of the assumed analogy of a compulsory government paper), which, in the popular view, leads irresistibly to the persuasion, that the quantity of money, according to whatever may be the supposed test of the quantity, must have a direct influence on the prices of commodities. The prepossession or prejudice to which I allude, has its rise in the following very specious reasoning. The prices of commodities depend upon supply and demand; now, given the supply, prices depend upon the demand. But money is the instrument of demand; therefore, any increase of money must be an increase of demand, and must consequently raise prices; and as bank notes are by the definition money, an increase of bank notes must increase the demand for, and raise the prices of commodities. The following passage of the late Mr. James Mill's Essay on Political Economy (3d ed. p. 131.) is calculated to countenance this, which, as expressed in these general terms, I cannot but consider as an erroneous view:--" It is not difficult to perceive that it is the total amount of " the money in any country, which determines what portion " of that quantity shall exchange for a certain portion of the " goods or commodities of that country. " If we suppose that all the goods of this country are on one " side, all the money on the other, and that they are exchanged " at once against one another, it is obvious that one tenth, or " one hundredth, or any other part of the goods, will exchange " against one tenth or any other part of the whole of the money " and that this tenth &c, will be a great...

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

TOOKE, Thomas was born in 1774 in Kronstadt, Kralovehradecky kraj, Russia.
Major Spokesman for free trade, and author of the Merchants’ Petition, 1820. Defended the gold standard on many occasions before espousing the Banking Principle that note issues need no rigid controls. Although he rejected the quantity theory of money, he never developed a complete monetary theory.
His interest in the effect of monetary policy on prices led him into his lifelong work on price data. Though he and his collaborator, William Newmarch, constructed no indices on the basis of the data, the raw material was used by others, including Jevons. Merchant in the Russian trade.
