Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Whom to Trust: A Practical Treatise on Mercantile Credits
The subject-matter has been strictly confined to the text, Viz.: Credits. Every chapter has been prepared with special reference to that topic only; but, incidentally, the treatise will be found to cover the fundamental principles underlying business in general, by pointing out the causes that lead to success or failure. We may accept it as an axiom, that when an appli cant for credit satisfies the standard of our requirements, we may rightfully infer that all the essential qualifications Of a safe and good business-man are also possessed by him.
N o effort has been made to treat this subject from the standpoint of theory or political economy. Intended, as this treatise is, for busi ness-men and for practical use, it has been pre pared as concisely as possible, and to the point - that point being, how to make Credits.
Among business-men the term Credits is understood to refer to the practical functions Of credit as between buyer and seller, and in this restrictive sense the word has been adopted, in contradistinction to the broader term of Credit.
