Knox's United States Notes.

The article presents information on the book "United States Notes," by John Jay Knox. This book is not, as its short title might lead one to suppose, a mere history of the greenback. It is rather a sketch of the financial history of the U.S., in which various issues of circulating notes make, so to say, the basis of the narrative. Two short chapters are devoted to the disastrous paper money of various " tenors" issued by the thirteen colonies, and the equally disastrous Continental currency of the Revolutionary period. The book will be found highly serviceable by students of financial history.
