A first edition copy of Hallard's historical defense of bimetallism--a monetary system that backed currency with both gold and silver--during the turn of the 20th century when Bimetallism was a heavily contested topic. Hallard's work sits alongside the broader "Free Silver Movement," which argued that using silver alongside gold prevented deflation and favored working classes and agricultural sectors.
This copy shows some wear but remains complete, see condition notes for further details.
