The Science of Finance: A Practical Treatise is a book authored by economist R.H. Patterson, and is a weighty examination of finance.
R.H. Patterson's work is a thorough analysis of the financial systems of Great Britain in the 1860s. The Science of Finance is not an introductory text, but rather more of a case study. The work opens with a macro level view of the credit system in place at the time of the book's writing, a system which the author believes is responsible for much of the nation's economic development.
