Publisher's Synopsis
Tracts And Other Publications On Metallic And Paper Currency is a book written by Samuel Jones Loyd. The book is a collection of essays and articles written by Loyd on the topic of currency, specifically metallic and paper currency. Loyd was a prominent banker and economist in the 19th century and his writings on currency were highly influential in shaping monetary policy in Britain during that time. The book contains a series of tracts, or pamphlets, that Loyd wrote on the topic of currency between 1832 and 1847.
