Book Description

Excerpt from Norman's Universal Cambist: A Ready Reckoner of the World's Foreign and Colonial Exchanges of Seven Monetary and Currency Intermediaries With the Aid of Less Than Figures 60, 000 Figures The world has no science of monev. Not a day should be lost in preparing a science primer of money. I would that I could assist to stimulate the scientific men whose vision is not distorted by credit instruments, who possess an aptitude for the subject, and could easily acquire a masterly skill in bullion and coin, in my own country, in the United States of America, in Germany, and in France, to accom plish this. Within ten years of the subject being taught with geography in the schools of the world and the issue of this primer, the utmost astonishment would be expressed at the present all but universal darkness which is over the subject, and the gross errors which flourish therein.
