£150 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

An interesting work on bimetallism by Leonard Darwin (1850-1943), son of Charles Darwin, of which John Maynard Keynes would later write: “‘His book appeared towards the end of the long controversy [on the use of both gold and silver as the basis for currencies]. But his statement of the conflicting arguments was so clear and unbiassed that it remained the standard text-book … until questions on bimetallism had disappeared from the examination papers on economic theory.’ Economic Journal , Dec 1943” (quoted in ODNB).
