Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Savings Banks: Containing a Review of Their Past History and Present Condition, and of Legislation on the Subject; Exposition of the Measures Required for Their Complete Re-Organization, and for Placing Them on a Sound Basis
The perusal of the Reports, and a comparison of a large number of foreign rules with those of the English banks, has shewn us that a similarity of plan exists in all; which is probably attributable to the fact that they appear to have had for original model the rules and plan of operations in this country. In several instances, however, they have given earlier attention to those defects of principle and practice that have caused such mischief in English banks, and they have sought to intro duce remedial modifications of the parental system.
