Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Financial, Monetary and Statistical History of England: From the Revolution of 1688 to the Present Time; Derived Principally From Official Documents; In Seventeen Letters Addressed to the Young Men of Great Britain
I dedicate this book to you, because you are, as yet, very young men; and because that which I now address to you is equally applicable to any other young man of a similar age. DO not fancy that I expect that you should now look into this volume, because it is so dedicated. I know well enough, that youth has pursuits and pleasures of its own, which it will not leave to interest itself in subjects like those which are here discussed. This is as it should be - but this state of youth does not last for ever. It is evanescent; and new thoughts and new motives quickly come in with the march of time.
You are, or in all certainty must in future time be, engaged in some branch Of traffic or dealing which will, day after day, bring you in contact with others.
