Publisher's Synopsis
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.
