The Finance of the War.

This article presents information on the book "Financial Chapters of the War," by Alexander Dana Noyes. In this book, six of the twelve chapters cover the first seventeen months of the period of war. The description of the developments during the first month of the war and the remarkable measures of relief resorted to at London to prevent utter collapse of credit make highly interesting reading. Nearly every prediction as to the specific results of the conflict went astray, and the world now knows how foolish it was to suppose that economic exhaustion would force early abandonment of the struggle.
