errors' (Blanqui) this work is very important for its progressive views on commercial, industrial and social
life.

A complete set of the important reports of the
Gold and Silver Commission.
The Commission, presided by Lord Herschell, was instructed to investigate the causes of the relative
changes in the value of precious metals, the 'evils or inconveniences' to British and Indian trade caused by
these changes, and the possible remedies 'within the power of the Legislature or the Government'. The
Commission took evidence from several of the leading economists of the day, including Sir Robert Giffen,
H.R.Grenfell, J.S.Nicholson, R.H.I.Palgrave and Alfred Marshall.
Marshall's evidence occupies p.1-33 and p.38-47 of the Appendix to the final report, followed (p.47-53) by
a
Memorandum as to the effects which differences between the currencies of different nations have on
international trade. 'The importance of this Memorandum lies in the fact that it contains a clear
enunciation of the 'purchasings-power parity' theory of the exchanges between countries having mutually
inconvertible currencies' (J.M.Keynes). 'His evidence before Royal Commissions in 1887 and 1899 showed
an impressive mastery of monetary analysis, both domestic and international, and was minutely examined by
successive generations of Cambridge students, serving for many years virtually as a text book'
(J.K.Whitaker). *Keynes (
