     summary: The Committee's report fails to see the question that must arise when it is noted that while in England a pound of copper was made into twenty-three pence, yet for Ireland Wood was permitted to make it into thirty pence, in spite of the statement that the copper used in England was worth fivepence a pound more than that used by Wood. Relating to Mr. _Wood's_ Half-pence.

     summary: Dorris kept her little room, and was neighborly as heretofore; but she was busy with her music, and had little time but her evenings; and now there was nobody to walk home with Desire to Shubarton Place, if she stayed in Aspen Street to tea. Do you remember the story Luclarion used to tell us of when she and her brother Mark were little children and used to play that the looking-glass-things were real, and that two children lived in them, in the other room, and how we used to make believe too in the slanting chimney glass?

     summary: The name _Mowhakes_, compounded of _mowi_, black, and _hock_, shell, was also sometimes applied to the dark beads.

     summary: For writers who seek the whole explanation of the value of money in its monetary application, and who see that money, _qua_ money, cannot administer directly to human wants, the view that Professor Fisher expresses, namely, that money has no utility, and is unique among goods in this respect, seems on the surface, to have justification. Nicholson[365] declares that in our modern society the quantity of _standard_ money, other things remaining the same, determines the general level of prices, whilst, on the other hand, the quantity of _token_ money is determined by the general level of prices.

     summary: The people of the island must have been unusually stupid if they did not from the outset, therefore, clearly see that nothing can be reliable and good money under all circumstances which does not of itself possess the full amount of the value which it professes on its face to possess. [8] How fast the people on the island, by reason of their varied experience, educated themselves up to a knowledge of what constitutes good money may be inferred from the following incident: A portion of the inhabitants on the island were heathen, and, to defray the expense of efforts to civilize and Christianize them, it was the habit of certain good men to take advantage of the assembling of the people from time to time to solicit and receive contributions for such objects.

     summary: The last edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica says, as a conclusion in discussing the value of money, and referring evidently to coin alone:-- The most correct way to regard the question of money value is that which looks on supply and demand, as interpreted above, as the regulator of its value for a limited time, while regarding cost of production as a force exercising an influence of uncertain amount on its fluctuations during long periods. Aside from the exception which Mill makes of fixed money contracts, which can never adjust themselves at all to a changed money value,--and the exception is of enormous volume and importance,--the prices of many commodities are not adjustable quickly or readily to a change in money value, especially when such change is an increase.
