Excerpt from The Ultimate Standard of Value This is undoubtedly the sense in which the term cost is understood in practical business life. It is in this way, that the manufacturer, the farmer and the merchant reckon their cost. This, too, is the sense in which Professor Marshall employs the term when he speaks of the money cost of and in my own writings about value and cap ital, I usually employ the term cost in the same way. Usually but not always, because for certain purposes another mode of estimating sacrifices, becomes important and may not be neglected. This is the historical method. It is quite mani fest that many of the concrete forms Of goods, which we to day are compelled to sacrifice to purposes of production, are themselves the product of past and more original sacrifices. For example, the wood and coal that we consume to-day in the production of cloth, and likewise the machine which we wear out, are themselves the product Of previous sacrifices of labor. If we go behind these material commodities to the sacrifices which the human race has suffered in successive periods of time, in bringing them into existence, or if you like the sacrifices necessary to reproduce them, the list of the historical production sacrifices would be greatly simpli fied. It would include two, or at most three, elements. First of all comes labor, which without doubt is the most important Of these elements. Then comes a second to which many economists have given the name, abstinence. Perhaps a third might be added, namely, valuable original naiaral power; though many might decline to regard this last as a sacrifice.

Excerpt from Standard of Value I was employed in the Financial Department of the Government of India when the divergence in the relative value Of Gold and Silver began to declare itself and, as the fall in the Indian Exchange had a serious effect on the finances of the Government Of India, the subject forced itself on my attention. In 1886 I published a work called the Theory of Bimetallism, and I was a Member Of the Royal Commission on Gold and Silver which sat from 1886 to 1888. I was subsequently Finance Member Of the Council of the governor-general of India, and took part in the measures for the introduction of the Gold Standard into India. I was afterwards a Member of the Committee which recommended that the gold value of the Indian rupee Should be fixed at 18. 4d. Although Bimetallism is no longer a live question, other problems connected with the Standard of Value will arise in the future, and I have decided to place on record the conclusions at which I arrived as the result of my experience and study of the subject, and also to state the circumstances under which it was decided to introduce the Gold Standard into India and explain the procedure adopted for that purpose. I cannot hope to give the trained Economist fresh light on questions with which he is already familiar, but what I have to say may be of some assistance to the man Of business who may be forced by circumstances, as I was, to give his attention to the subject. I feel that some apology is needed for the length Of my remarks on the subject of the Quantity Theory of Money and the Relation between Credit and Prices, but at the time of the Bimetallic Controversy the questions connected therewith had not been so thoroughly investigated as they have lately been, by Professor Irving Fisher, and other Economists, and the applicability Of the Quantity Theory of Money to modern conditions was denied, while, as it seemed to me, wholly untenable theories were put forward regarding the relation between Credit and Prices. It is for this reason that I have felt bound to Offer certain remarks in defence Of a theory which, rightly understood.

Excerpt from Evolution and the Need of Atonement As the title indicates, the main object of this book is not to offer a new theory of the Atonement. Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.
