1892417 pages. Index. Appendices. Footnotes. List of sixty black and white illustrations. A rare surviving copy of this important reference, made all the more engaging by today's environment of competing fiat currency devaluations. "Hitherto Numismatists when stydying the Origines of Coinage had confined themselves to the materials presented to them in the earliest money of Lydia, Greece and Italy, and on the other hand the Metrologists had almost completely limited their range of observation to the systems of Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. As the Comparative Method has yielded such excellent results in the study of other human institutions, I have endeavoured by its aid to get some new principles which may throw some fresh light on the first beginnings of monetary and weight systems." - from Preface.

Several chips from and lengthy openings along backstrip which has become brittle with age. Narrow opening along most of front hinge. Back hinge open. Bookplate discretely removed inside front board.

Pirates, cosmopolitan, Indian, Arab, even English, cruised the Arabian seas. The Straits of Malacca teemed with fierce cut-throats; the Gulf was a standing menace. These dangers were real." - From Preface. Contents clean, bright and unmarked, possibly unread. Tight and square. Light wear to white and blue cloth-covered boards.

G/G beter than good reading copy. dj is worn to all edges, with areas to loss to bottom outside corners to both boards., and less so to top of spine. not price-clipped. boards beneath are clean and bright - except for the outside bottom corners. both front and back boards have corners missing as to about 1/2 inch or so, leaving the cardboard inner of the board showing. by some lucky chance, the damage has touched the inside text which is without damage or loss. no inscriptions. uncommon title showing the fight for the fur trade in canada.
