Book Description
Excerpt from Banks and People As a general principle I am opposed to the Preface. I do not believe in telling people what I propose to say; I prefer to say it.

It enables me to indicate briefly the object with which this work has been undertaken, and to acknowledge certain sources of information that have been drawn upon, and at the same time expressing my obligations to those whose labours and experiences in the same field have aided in the compilation of these pages.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Evolution of People's Banks The success of various European systems of cooperative credit has aroused wide interest not only in this country, but also in every civilized nation. Almost every important government in the world has tried at some time to secure for its citizens the benefits of these unique institutions. Finally in 1913 the President of the United States appointed a commission to go to Europe with a larger group assembled by the Southern Commercial Congress, to study, among other aspects of rural life, those cooperative institutions which served farmers. The testimony presented to this commission offered an unusual abundance of source material. But the speed with which that commission was compelled to travel over Europe seemed to leave still some room for investigations of a humbler and more detailed kind, while the fact that this commission devoted its attention primarily to rural credits made it seem desirable to gather some additional material with respect to urban institutions. Thus it happened that the writer of the following pages also spent some months abroad in 1913 trying to gather material for a description of these institutions. Before the results of this investigation were ready for presentation to the public, there was published in this country a remarkable book on Rural Credits by Myron T. Herrick, and R. Ingalls. Substantially half of that work was devoted to a description of Cooperative Credit. This description included urban as well as rural institutions.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of Banks and Bankers The following chapters are reprinted, with some additions and corrections, from a weekly paper. Written at intervals, and necessarily disconnected, their only claim to attention is the comparative novelty of the subject. The world at large hears much less about trading than about fighting-men, though there seems no reason whatever why banking, for example, should not be quite as interesting a pursuit as battling. At any rate, it may be pleaded in favour of the Stories of Banks and Bankers, that while scores of heavy volumes have been written about the dynasties of Schwarzburg Sondershausen and saxe-coburg-gotha, very little as yet is known about the no less.

Book Description
Excerpt from Banks and Bankers A volume of this description, if correctly written in a readable style, must, I apprehend, be accept able to people of all ranks. The matters it relates to intimately concern all our great masses, agricul tural, manufacturing, and commercial; they are not only of the highest importance in their bearings and effects, but they have a particular interest even as subjects of abstract inquiry. If to these cousi derations we add another, - namely, the ignorance so generally and so strangely prevailing amongst us upon the question of money, banking, and cur reney, enough, perhaps, will have been premised to indicate that the work will be likely to find many readers, if justice be done to his undertaking by the author.

Book Description
Excerpt from Loans and Investments They furnish borrowers, because they provide a more or less generally acceptable substitute for coined money as a circulating or purchasing medium. The bank note, the promise of a bank to pay money on demand, is quite obviously a credit instrument which is a substitute for money; and in the absence of legal restrictions upon issue the volume of such notes in circulation would clearly depend upon the willingness of people to accept them in payment for goods and services. Partly because of legislation limiting the power to issue notes, and even more because the check has been found more convenient for most purposes, the bank note has become a subordinate and rather special means of extending credit. Banks, of course, do not extend credit directly by issuing checks, since the check is an order on a bank to pay money, not a bank's promise to pay money. Such orders are based upon obligations to pay money recorded on the books of the bank, known as deposits. This term deposits is a misnomer. It suggests to most people that the bank has at some time or other received from depositors the amount of their deposits in money. Banks are often spoken of as lending their deposits. This is a most inaccurate and misleading use of lan guage, since deposits are obligations already in curred, an existing liability, which, moreover, is largely due to loans granted. Clearly a bank can not lend its already existing obligations to pay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Banker's Common-Place Book The Profits to a Bank from its Bank Notes and Deposits. - A bank which should possess a capital limited to a hundred thousand dollars, could lend only a hundred thousand dollars, if it possessed neither bank notes of its own creation, nor deposits of other persons' money hence, such a bank could gain but six per cent. The year on its capital, if its loans were made on securities that would mature ixl sixty days, or but seven per cent. If its loans were made on longer securities. But from this six or seven per cent. Would have to be deducted, the salaries of the bank's officers, the rent of its banking house, its stationery, el, taxes, &c., so as to leave of its income, to be divided among its stockholders, not more than from three to five per cent. The year, a dividend smaller than the productiveness of capital in other occupations, and, consequent ly, destructive to the continuance of banking.

Book Description
Excerpt from The People's Banks of Their Organization Under the Recent Law The two corner-stones on which, in Mr. Schulze's opinion, the edifice of the successful People's Banking Association rests are: 1. The solidarity or personal responsibility of all the members for the Society liabilities and 2. The form ation of a Society Capital in the form of business shares, which are the property of members, and a reserve fund, the exclusive property of the Association. The writer will not undertake to condense or repeat the explanations given in the following translations, but would say a few words in defence of the first principle, - that of solidarity, to which it is foreseen the most determined Opposition will be made in this country. The principal objections are reviewed somewhat as follows in Mr. Schulze's work on People's Banks hereinafter mentioned.
