This pamphlet was originally published in Boston in March of 1721. The identity of the author remains unknown. It was reprinted by Andrew McFarland Davis in Colonial Currency Reprints, 1682-1751, Boston: The Prince Society, 1911, volume II, pp. 304-32. The author is, as the title suggests, a hard money advocate. The author's temperate discussion and conscientious recitation of the history of the Massachusetts currency make this pamphlet especially useful.
