From the publisher

Excerpt from Lectures on the Nature and Use of Money: Delivered Before the Members of the "Edinburgh Philosophical Institution" During the Months of February and March, 1848 But why any Preface at all - Custom! Yes truly, that is the reply: a book without a Preface would not be according to rule, and, therefore, no proper book. Oh Custom tyrant thou art, and thy slaves! How many? Tell me the number of full grown men and women on this little earth, and I will tell thee the number of thy slaves. All, all! Exception there is not a solitary one.
