Excerpt from History of the Issues of Paper-Money in the American Colonies Anterior to the Revolution, Explanatory of the Historical Chart of the Paper Money of That Period Of the paper money of that period, I have not been able to discover any Bill in existence of a date anterior to the year 1746. It is probable, that the greater part, if not the whole which was issued, in the British Colonies before that period, has been destroyed. It will be seen from the foregoing ex tract, that but a small amount was issued, and it having been redeemed in each Colony, it is almost certain, that very few, if any Specimens of the paper money of that period, are now extant.

""As soon as Independence had been won from Great Britain, the decks were clear for a second fight. That fight, as is usually found after a successful revolution, was the fight to decide whether independence was to be true independence or whether, after the change of names, the financial system was to re-establish over the new government that same control which it had exercised over the old.""

Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Paper Currency of the American Colonies: Prior to the Adoption of the Federal Constitution During the last few years, considerable attention has been drawn towards the subject to which this volume is devoted. The various issues of the paper money of the American colonies, and of the Continental Congress, ex tending over a period of nearly a century, had become an attraction to many persons who had entered into the pur suit of collecting them. Naturally they sought, but mostly in vain, for the information which was to explain the origin and history of the notes, and to guide them in their investigations. Some works bearing upon the sub ject were known to be in existence, but were not generally available, while the growing desire of a closer knowledge of their contents, caused continual inquiry and search to be made for them.

Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today’s idealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly reshaped our hopes for an improved humanity. In this pioneering book, Samuel Moyn elevates that extraordinary transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals about the ideal’s troubled present and uncertain future. For some, human rights stretch back to the dawn of Western civilization, the age of the American and French Revolutions, or the post–World War II moment when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was framed. Revisiting these episodes in a dramatic tour of humanity’s moral history, The Last Utopia shows that it was in the decade after 1968 that human rights began to make sense to broad communities of people as the proper cause of justice. Across eastern and western Europe, as well as throughout the United States and Latin America, human rights crystallized in a few short years as social activism and political rhetoric moved it from the hallways of the United Nations to the global forefront. It was on the ruins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achieved contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substituted for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and nationalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle and bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.
