Indian Finance Currency And Banking Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Indian Finance: Currency and Banking This book is designed to furnish a description and criticism of the existing currency system in India. I have also dealt with certain subjects which are more or less directly connected with the currency question, such as Banking, the State Bank, the Railway Policy, the Public Debt, etc. Part of this book has appeared in the form of articles in the Modern Review, the East and West, the Commonweal and the Statist (London), and I cordially thank the editors of these periodicals for their permission to reprint the same. The appendices contain the full text of Sir James Bigbie's Note of dissent, summary of the Report of the Royal Commission on Indian Finance and Currency, the evidence, and extracts from the criticisms of the Report by Professor Nicholson and "Asiaticus." A bibliography is also added. The difficulties of the subject are very real to its writer, who has consequently aimed earnestly at clearness, risking platitude and iteration to achieve it. Its shortcomings will be pardoned, by considerate readers, on the ground of the limited leisure in which it was written.
