CHAPTER VI.

STATE OF PRICES AND OF THE CIRCULATION,
FROM 1814 TO 1818.

THE epoch which is now to come under consideration, embraces nearly the whole interval between the close of the war and the termination of the Bank restriction. And this interval, with that which has just passed under review, comprises nearly all the debateable ground of the imputed effects of the suspension of cash payments in raising prices beyond the difference between paper and gold.

As in the instance of the epoch which has just passed, it will be found convenient in the present to make a subdivision of the interval about to be examined into two periods; namely, the one embracing the fall of prices from 1813 and 1814, to 1816 and 1817; and the other, the rise of prices from 1816 and 1817 to 1818.
