In this little book the truths of Thrift and Economics are set out in simple and idiomatic English, freed from difficulty and plainly and clearly stated. The author shows how character makes money and how a true view of the world and its affairs, formed early in life, is the secret of thriving and success. The aim is to give boys and girls a grasp of practical and working truths and facts which all should, for their own happiness and well-being, know. It covers ground not hitherto taken up in education, and, alike in subject and style, is admirably adapted as a reading book. From cover to cover the book is packed with fact tersely put and in a way that makes it insistently interesting. The author has laid himself out to put lucidly the lessons of life and the results of experience, so that youthful readers may avoid pitfalls. What money is and does and what is meant by industry and commerce are shown in language the youngest minds can readily understand. THE HISTORY AND ADVENTURES OF A PENNY By Edmund Dane, LL.B. F'cap. 8vo. 2s. 6d. net. "THE HISTORY AND ADVENTURES OF A PENNY"--In the form of a simple story this little book sets out some of the leading and elementary truths of economics, and more especially those relating to wages, prices, production, and exchange. It touches upon and illustrates the true association between Capital and Labour in the creation of wealth, and shows the part played by science, invention, and skill. The author's thesis in effect is that to promote a popular knowledge of economic truth is the surest means of promoting popular thrift, which, based upon a popular knowledge of economic truth is the surest safeguard against fantastic politics. The means of creating wealth and common abundance were never greater than they are to-day, and the lack of a popular knowledge of economics is the chief stumbling block. Facts are put in this book in a form which the simplest minds can readily grasp, and in a manner interesting to all. The plan of the book is novel as well as useful.
