Book Description
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Banking There are several classes of persons to whom I think this book may be more particularly useful. The first class includes those public men who have occasion to write or to speak upon our banking institutions. Statesmen, authors, and reviewers, however cor rect may be their knowledge of banking as a. Science, often fall into mistakes when they attempt to describe its practical Operations. Although it must be admitted that the principles of banking may be well understood without any acquaintance with details, yet it is equally true that if a public man have acquired a competent. Degree Of practical information, his Opinions will carry greater weight, and he will be less liable to fall into erroneous conclusions. They, especially, who are desirous of altering the constitution Of our banking establishments should be anxious not to weaken the force Of their recommendations by making misstatements as to matters of fact. The public have a right to expect that they who attempt to improve a system should be well acquainted with the system they attempt to improve.

Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Treatise on Banking In this edition, I have inserted a section upon Banking Documents, and the Prospectuses of all the Banking Companies, proposed to be established in London. I have also added the Report of the Secret Committee of the House of Commons upon Joint Stock Banks, and a summary of the information con tained in the appendix. I have not thought proper to notice the opinions suggested by that report, as the design of this work is not to inculcate any opinions of my own, but to impart such information as will enable my readers to form opinions for themselves.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Banking, Currency, and the Exchanges It would seem not only desirable but necessary that when suggestions are thrown out for the improvement of methods and systems, practical bankers should be the recognised authorities, by virtue of their closer acquaintance with the practice of their craft. The study of the theory and practice of banking no doubt suffers considerable neglect by reason of there being no special qualifications demanded of those who are elected into the service of banking institutions. A student seldom takes a deep interest in any subject until he has removed much of that elementary matter which forms the exterior crust of all sciences, and which requires diligent application to succeed in penetrating; after which the interest becomes more and more engaged.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Business of Banking and Commercial For some years I have been of the opinion that the condi tion of the commercial world would be much improved if business men had a more comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental principles of banking and mercantile credits. The banker is the criterion of business men. His methods and mode of doing business exemplify the very best business principles. That a knowledge of these methods and principles of business will be of benefit to every business man is self evident. Every man, no matter what his calling, should understand the business of banking. Such knowledge will not only enable him to obtain valuable assistance and many favors at the hands of his bankers, but the fundamental prin ciples of business as here taught will enable him to carry his own affairs to a higher degree of perfection-and profit. This book is as much for the merchant as for the banker. In the part of this book devoted to credits the business man will find a guide that will enable him to trust out his goods to those who will pay for them. It will teach those not engaged in business to conduct themselves in such a manner as to merit the confidence and thereby the credit favors of the busi ness community.

Book Description
Excerpt from Banking and Commerce: A Practical Treatise for Bankers and Men of Business, Together With the Author's Experiences of Banking Life in England and Canada During Fifty Years The author has taken particular pains to open up the relation of Banking to Commerce, as a handmaid and tributary to it, and this, as distinguished from other modes of employing and investing money; and has endeavored to show the danger of confounding the functions of a banker with those of a capitalist, or a Loan Company, whose sphere is found in the lending of money on mortgage, or the undertaking of loans for long periods to governments or corporations. It was long ago observed that a large part of the art of banking con sisted in knowing the difference between a bill of exchange and a mort gage. Simple as this may sound, it opens up a whole world of interesting study: and to become thoroughly master of it, in its practical application, has baffled the ability of many a man otherwise eminent in the sphere of finance. And the failure to carry out this distinction in practice has involved many an institution of these times in financial overthrow. All this will be considered in the course of the work now submitted, and as the author has largely drawn from his own experience and observation, he thinks it mav be well to say a few words about them.

Book Description
Excerpt from History, Principles Practice of Banking, Vol. 1 History and Principles of Banking and his Practical Treatise on Banking. Ten years ago, with the view of bringing them within the reach of a wider circle of readers, these works were combined in one volume, and the cost was materially lessened. And with the view of still further carrying out that object, the present edition has been prepared in a form, and at a cost, which it is hoped will make it easily accessible to all. These works, having been originally published nearly fifty years ago, when joint-stock banking was almost in its infancy, necessarily contained much matter, which, although interesting and instructive at the time, is now quite obsolete. Much, therefore, which appeared in pre vions editions has been struck out of the present issue, but great care has at the same time been taken to delete nothing of any historical interest, or that bears directly or indirectly on any pending question.

Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Treatise on Banking The first edition of this work was published in May, 1827; the second, in January, 1828; and the third, in December, 1834. As the work appears likely to remain longer in the hands of the public than pamphlets on banking usually do, I have determined to print it in a more permanent form, and to comply with established usage by writing a Preface. There are three classes of persons to whom, I think, this work may be useful. The first class includes those public men, who have occasion to write or speak upon our banking institutions. Authors, Reviewers, and Members of Parliament, however correct may be their knowledge of Banking as a science, often fall into mistakes, when they attempt to describe its practical operations.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Banking Practice For a long time past there has been an apparent need for a treatise on practical banking that would give a complete summary of the operation of a bank in such form as could be used as a text for teaching. While many excellent works have heretofore been written on both the theory and practice of banking, no one work has in itself adequately covered the subject, making necessary the use of several books in order to supply such information as the student requires. More over, no other work has attempted to weave into banking practice the Negotiable Instruments Law, so essential to bank operation. It has therefore been the aim to present a simple, yet comprehensive picture of the Work of a bank in every detail. The author wishes to make special acknowledgement to that splendid work recently issued by the National City Bank under the title Practical Bank Operation, from which many valuable suggestions have been Obtained as to the conduct of a large institution. Supplementing his own experiences and observations with such informa tion, he has attempted to present a composite picture of banking practice as it is now conducted under recognized American procedure. Credit is also due to the Irving National Bank of New York for the use of its forms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
