Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the long-held belief that law can fix the relative value of gold and silver in a monetary system. The author argues that the historical evidence used to support this theory is flawed, and that the French monetary system, which was often cited as an example of successful bimetallism, actually did not fix the value of gold and silver, but merely followed the natural fluctuations of the market. The author also challenges the idea that there is a special "monetary law" that governs the value of gold and silver, arguing that these metals, like any other commodity, are subject to the forces of supply and demand. The book concludes that bimetallism on the principle of the fixed ratio is not a viable system and that attempts to implement it will ultimately fail.

Hardcover. Condición: Fair. No Jacket. In Hebrew, vowelized 160 pages. 21 x 14 cm. With full page illustrationsr. Re-backed by master bookbinder/restorer. Boards stained. Pages have water stains and are a little wavy, having been exposed to water. The author, Hugh John Lofting (14 January 1886 Maidenhead, Berkshire, England - 26 September 1947) was born to Elizabeth Agnes (Gannon) and John Brien Lofting, of English and Irish ancestry. He was a civil engineer turned writer. His eldest brother, Hilary Lofting, later became a novelist in Australia, having emigrated there in 1915. Lofting was educated at Mount St Mary's College in Spinkhill, Derbyshire. From 1905 to 1906, he studied civil engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. He travelled widely as a civil engineer before enlisting in the Irish Guards regiment of the British Army in the First World War. He was seriously wounded in the war. When he wrote his children from the trenches of WWI he did not want to alarm them with the brutality all around him and so he created what became a classic children's literature character: Doctor Dolittle. It first appeared in the illustrated letters to his children, written in the British Army trenches of the Great War. These letters became the foundation of the latger Doctor Dolittle novels for children. In 1919 Lofting moved with his family to Killingworth, Connecticut. He was married three times and had three children, one of whom, Christopher, became the executor of his literary estate. The character Doctor John Dolittle is an English physician from "Puddleby-on-the-Marsh" in the West Country, who can converse with animals. The stories are set in early Victorian England in the 1820s to the 1840s. The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle gives a date of 1839. The Story of Doctor Dolittle: Being the History of His Peculiar Life at Home and Astonishing Adventures in Foreign Parts Never Before Printed (1920) began the series and won him a posthumous Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958. The sequel The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922) won a Newbery Medal. Eight more books followed, and after Lofting's death, two more appeared, composed of short, previously unpublished pieces.
