Introduction

Little is known of Charles Holt Carroll, the author of the thirty-six essays reprinted in this book. In the list of contributors in Hunt's Merchants' Magazine, where many of these essays appeared, Carroll is described as "A Merchant of Massachusetts." There are, of course, such scattered bits of information in business directories and newspapers as may be found for many nineteenth-century businessmen, but even when these are combined with the remarks he drops about himself in his essays, only a shadowy figure of a man emerges. One would like to know more about this merchant who wrote so vigorously on the currency question.
