Excerpt from A History Latin Monetary Union: A Study of International Monetary Action The object of this study, then, has been (i) to furnish an impartial historical account of the various steps taken by the Latin Union, especially so far as concerns its treatment of the silver question and (2) to see how far such an account will furnish support for certain current notions regarding the monetary problem as affected by the action of the Latin Union. The book aims to be nothing more than a historical monograph, and makes no effort to enter into the merits of the monetary question as such.
