Book Description

Excerpt from Banks and Bankers A volume of this description, if correctly written in a readable style, must, I apprehend, be accept able to people of all ranks. The matters it relates to intimately concern all our great masses, agricul tural, manufacturing, and commercial; they are not only of the highest importance in their bearings and effects, but they have a particular interest even as subjects of abstract inquiry. If to these cousi derations we add another, - namely, the ignorance so generally and so strangely prevailing amongst us upon the question of money, banking, and cur reney, enough, perhaps, will have been premised to indicate that the work will be likely to find many readers, if justice be done to his undertaking by the author.
