Author: HUBBARD, John Gellibrand.
Title: The Currency and the Country.
Description: London, Longman &c 1843. Octavo disbound; iii-viii,112pp and folding table. Without half title, stitching gone but still a fresh copy. ¶ A notable salvo in the currency war at the time, in support of the 'single bank of issue' and consequently that any profit belongs to the nation. Marx called on this to demolish James Mill's "false theory of price" in his 'Elements of Political Economy' and to establish other points in Kapital. I wonder what Hubbard might have thought about this. Hubbard - later Lord Addington - did, after all, become governor of the Bank of England and a conservative politician.
