THE FINANCIAL REGISTER.

This work, in two vols. octavo, each of 416 pages of closely printed matter in double columns, was published as a periodical under the editorship of Condy Raguet, Esq. between July 1837 and January 1839, and was designed as a documentary history of the commercial crisis of that period.

The following notice of its contents appeared in one of the Philadelphia papers in February, 1839.

History of the late Money Crisis.-The Financial Register, issued in numbers during the last eighteen months, is now complete in two octavo volumes, closely printed in double columns, at the price of five dollars. As a complete documentary history of the late money crisis in the United States and England, it is of high value, and as a book of reference embraces a large body of English publications connected with banking and currency which are not easily procurable in this country. A perusal of the contents will show the great and singular value of the work to bankers, statisticians, and inquirers in financial science generally. We therefore give the following particulars, as the best mode of noticing a publication, the diversified worth of which would not readily be imagined without such an index.
