"This book is an attempt to present the development of the modern gold mining industry, with especial reference to the connection between its development and the ebb and flow of business prosperity.
The connection between the gold supply and prosperity is now thoroughly understood. Without a supply of gold, increasing at a rate corresponding to the volume of business transactions, prices must decline, and the scale of business operations must be curtailed."
(from the author's 'Preface' signed and dated 'Philadelphia, September 7, 1908')
