Opis: Practical Banking (Classic Reprint) - Bolles Albert Sidney
Excerpt from Practical Banking
An explanation is needful concerning the origin and composition of this work. For several years letters have been received by the publisher of the Banker's Magazine inquiring whether a work like this existed. Other letters of inquiry have been received concerning the Banker's Common-Place Book, which, after the issue of several editions, went out of print. For a long period I have been trying to find an opportunity to embody the more important matters contained in that work, with additional information in a new form, but the desire to complete other undertakings resulted in the postponement of this until after my connection with the School of Finance and Economy in the University of Pennsylvania, when the need of the book for the purpose of instruction was so great that the preparation of it was begun. The work, therefore, has been prepared to serve a double purpose; first, for those in banks, and elsewhere, who wish to learn how the business of banking is conducted; and, secondly, for use as a text book for the students whom it is my pleasure to instruct.
I have not aimed to produce an original work, but the best for the purposes mentioned. Accordingly, I have profited by the labor of others to a considerable extent, and it is fitting that I should acknowledge my indebtedness to them. In 1858 James S. Gibbons, Cashier of the Ocean Bank of New York, wrote a work on The Banks of New York, which ran through ten editions, and merited the favorable reception accorded to it. Changes, however, have occurred in banking methods since he wrote, while the style of Mr. Gibbon's work, though very lively and appropriate for the general reader, is not suitable for a class-room book. Nevertheless, I have drawn very largely from that source in the preparation of Part I. and with much pleasure I acknowledge my indebtedness to this pioneer in describing the methods of conducting the business of banking.
