Excerpt from The New Golden Age, Vol. 1 of 2: Influence of the Precious Metals, Upon the World I have been not merely a contemporary, but a studious observer, of the important events and inter esting incidents of the Epoch of which I now at length write. It is when the Year is closing that we begin to sum up its characteristic features.

And so, as the Golden Age, which I have watched as a contemporary, is now fallen into the sere and yellow leaf, it is natural, and for the first time becomes possible, to Write its History, - to exhibit and appreciate its effects upon the World; and also to unravel some problems in economic science, upon which there has been a conflict of opinion and (as seems to me) much serious error, yet which during this memorable Epoch have been strikingly tested and illustrated by the light of Experience.
