Excerpt from The Money-Lender Unmasked The Author has endeavoured, in a popular style, to describe and expose the methods adopted by the majority of Money Lenders in the ordinary course of their business, and he believes it to be the first time that any attempt has been made to place the whole of the facts in a succinct form before the public. The history now told is the outcome of continuous observation and personal investigation, and the writer earnestly hopes that, as a sequel to the recital, every reader may regard it as a duty to exert himself in an endeavour to remove the evils herein brought to light. In a leading Journal it was recently remarked that the system of money lending had been so frequently ventilated and exposed, and had arrived at such a deplorable state, that nothing more could be said or done for it - it was simply irremediable in its baseness and hopeless in its condition. Whether this be so or not, the reader can judge for himself after he has perused the following facts and the author's tabulated suggestions.
