By William Nassau Lees

Book Overview

The Drain of Silver to the East, and the Currency of India is a book written by William Nassau Lees in 1864. The book delves into the economic impact of the silver drain from India to China and how it affected the currency system in India during the colonial era. Lees argues that the British colonial government's policies and actions resulted in the loss of silver from India to China, which led to a shortage of currency in India. He also discusses the various attempts made by the British government to stabilize the currency system in India, including the introduction of paper money. The book provides a detailed analysis of the economic conditions prevailing in India during the 19th century and offers insights into the colonial policies that shaped the country's economic landscape. The Drain of Silver to the East, and the Currency of India is an important historical document that sheds light on the economic history of India under British colonial rule.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
