THE ECONOMIC JOURNAL.—“The book is, and is likely long to remain, the standard work on its subject.... While academic students will be grateful for this acute and informing work, it will be read with as much interest, and perhaps even greater appreciation, by men of business and affairs.”
THE SPECTATOR.—“Mr. Keynes’s careful and disinterested study of the monetary facts of twenty years, and his methodical marshalling of facts and figures, will be useful even to those—and they will probably be few—who are not convinced by his reasoning.”
THE CLARE MARKET REVIEW.—“By his really masterly treatment of the Indian currency system, the author has made a very valuable addition to our economic literature.”
