Economists will like to know that that old standard authority,

Tooke and Newmarch's History of Prices from 1792 to 1856 has been reprinted in four volumes after being unprocurable for many a long year. Messrs. P. S. King have issued separately, at half-a-crown, the new Introduction which Professor T. E. Gregory has written for the reprint. It is a useful account of Tooke and Newmarch's work and review of their views on the currency problem, which reminds us that the controversy of to-day is very far from novel.
