‘Will be immensely superior to the ordinary kind of serial handbooks,
if Mr. Hubert Hall’s scholarly and well-written book is a fair
sample.... His account of the origins of our national finance is
full of valuable information which cannot be easily found elsewhere.’—St.
James’s Gazette.
‘It does great credit to the persevering industry, discrimination,
and literary skill of its author.’—Daily Telegraph.
