_Daily Mail._—‘A book for the average man. Volumes upon volumes have been written to explain and discuss our monetary system. Now we have a work worth all the rest put together in clearness of exposition and elegance of diction.’ _Manchester Guardian_ (leading article).—‘No common measure of literary accomplishment, a lucid, forceful, and pointed style, and a great store of material for apt and often amusing illustration have lent both grace and charm to a work of quite exceptional utility.’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stocks and Shares. _World._—'“Stocks and Shares” is attracting a lot of notice in the City. It is full of information for both speculator and investor, and is written with a brightness and humour that prove the possibility of dealing with the driest of subjects in an attractive manner.' _Morning Post._—'It is a good book, it is sure of its public, and if the laymen who read it will only follow Mr. Withers’ advice more than one “bucket-shop” will be closed till further notice.' _Daily News._—'Should be of the greatest value to investors and all who take an interest in City matters.... It is eminently readable, and the description of a typical flotation, “Hygienic Toothpowder, Ltd.,” is a literary gem.' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ London: Smith, Elder & Co., 15 Waterloo Place, S.W. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transcriber’s Note Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here.
