Harvey, W.H. [William Hope]

Coin's Financial School [Vol. I, No. 3]

Chicago: Coin Publishing Company, 1894. 1st Edition. Soft cover. 8vo. Very Good. Item #017412

Yellow, pictorial soft cover, [12] 3-155, 20pp, ads, some markings and annotations in pencil, toning and sporadic foxing to text block, sporadic tears and chipping at margins (not affecting text), light damp stains on title-page, spine and wrappers previously glued down, glue markings on front inner hinges, spine chipped at ends [1 inch loss], a small chip to lower corner of front cover. Very Good. "Originally published in 1893, the book presents a complex financial issue-the demonetization of silver-through an accessible narrative aimed at the general public. Central to its argument is the assertion that the Coinage Act of 1873 secretly eliminated the free coinage of silver, a move Harvey attributes to the influence of British bankers who preferred gold as legal tender to facilitate the repayment of U.S. Civil War debts."
