Abstract
DR. PIERSON's book in the original Dutch has become widely known in this country, in spite of the obstacle of language. So much was due to the author on account of his peculiar position as a banker and man of business, as well as a statesman, entitling him to a special hearing as an economist. But the intrinsic qualities of the book have also been such as to attract an appreciative audience. It is an account very largely at first hand of the writer's own experiences in applying economic principles to the daily practice of banking business, and later on to the problems of economics which came before him as Prime Minister of his State. We are glad, therefore, to see the present translation into English, which is extremely well done, and will contribute greatly to extend Dr. Pierson's reputation in this country, well known as he already is.
