_THE NATION._--“We found Mr. Keynes’s second book to be of the same
delightful texture as his first; showing a playfully impressive irony,
alternating with warning seriousness, and the extraordinary power of
economic analysis which has made him the greatest intellectual force in
the work of European restoration.”
_THE TIMES._--“Mr. Keynes has the gift of interesting his readers in
problems that are at once vital and obscure.”
_THE NEW STATESMAN._--“It is, like its predecessor, a pleasure to read,
lucid and concise in its economic arguments, dashing in its political
satires and its judgment of persons.”
8_vo._ ~18s.~ _net_.
A TREATISE ON PROBABILITY
_THE TIMES._--“Mr. Keynes’s book will certainly add to his reputation,
and is, indeed, in our opinion, the best book he has yet written.”
_THE NEW STATESMAN._--“The book will be at once ranked among the most
important contributions to the subject.”
_Prof. PIGOU in the ECONOMIC JOURNAL._--“The problems which Mr. Keynes
has touched, he has not only illuminated with a marvellous lucidity of
style, but has also substantially advanced.”
_THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN._--“Mr. Keynes’s book is undoubtedly one of
first-rate importance, and it is especially valuable on account of
the extension of its subject beyond the bounds of purely mathematical
probability.”
_THE SPECTATOR._--“The book contains a great deal that the general
reader will find both interesting and exhilarating.”
8_vo._ ~7s. 6d.~ _net_.
INDIAN CURRENCY AND FINANCE
_THE ECONOMIC JOURNAL._--“The book is, and is likely long to remain,
the standard work on its subject.... While academic students will
be grateful for this acute and informing work, it will be read with
as much interest, and perhaps even greater appreciation, by men of
business and affairs.”
_THE SPECTATOR._--“Mr. Keynes’s careful and disinterested study of the
monetary facts of twenty years, and his methodical marshalling of facts
and figures, will be useful even to those--and they will probably be
few--who are not convinced by his reasoning.”
_THE CLARE MARKET REVIEW._--“By his really masterly treatment of the
Indian currency system, the author has made a very valuable addition to
our economic literature.”

Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a
predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they
were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation
marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left
unbalanced.
Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs
and outside quotations.
Some tables have been rearranged to make them narrower, and some have
been repositioned to fall between nearby paragraphs.
The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page
references.
Page 98: “goods exported by Europe” probably was intended to be “goods
exported by Westropa”.
