A Treatise On Usury And Usury Laws (1837) is a book written by John Augustus Bolles that delves into the topic of usury and the laws surrounding it. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of usury, which is the practice of charging an exorbitant amount of interest on loans, and how it has been viewed throughout history. Bolles examines the moral, ethical, and economic implications of usury and argues that it is a harmful practice that should be regulated by law. The book also provides a detailed overview of the usury laws that were in place at the time of its writing, including the laws of different countries and states. Bolles critiques these laws and argues that they are often ineffective in curbing usury and protecting borrowers. He proposes alternative solutions, such as setting a maximum interest rate that lenders can charge, to better regulate the practice of usury. Overall, A Treatise On Usury And Usury Laws is a seminal work on the topic of usury and its regulation. Bolles' insights and arguments continue to be relevant in contemporary discussions surrounding lending practices and financial regulation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
