The Elements of Banking: With the Minutes Advice about Keeping a Banker (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Elements of Banking: With the Minutes Advice About Keeping a Banker

The former Editions of this work consisted chiefly of selections from my Practical Treatise on Bank ing, arranged expressly for the use of those readers who are desirous of obtaining, with a small expendi ture of either time or money, a general knowledge of the business of Banking. The present Edition is enlarged by some extracts from my Logic of Banking, respecting the Bank of England as a Central Bank of Deposit, and the effects pro duced by the establishment of J oint-stock Banks in London. It has also two additional Sections - one occasioned by the Meeting, in London, of the Inter national Statistical Congress; the other by my own retirement from the office of General Manager of the London and Westminster Bank. The work is thus increased from 102 to 181 pages. The price is the same.
