ABSTRACT

GENERAL VIEW OF THE MARKEl' T HE purpose of the preceding two chapters was to estab-lish the leading ideas which are to be employed in the later treatment of the subject-matter. The object now is to recapitulate, in order to bring those ideas more closely

together; to carry them a little further in order to present a preliminary view of the work of the market as a whole; and, finally, to indicate the order in which the subject is to be dealt with in the following chapters.
