Book Description

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 Banking," arranged expressly for the nse of those readers who are desirous of obtaining, with a small expenditure 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 produced by the establishment of Joint-Stock Banks in London." It has also two additional Sections - one occasioned by the Meeting, in London, of the International 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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
