Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Banking The first class includes those public men who have occasion to write or to speak upon our banking institutions. Statesmen, authors, and reviewers, however cor rect may be their knowledge of banking as a science, often fall into mistakes when they attempt to describe its practical Operations. Although it must be admitted that the principles Of banking may be well understood without any acquaintance with details, yet it is equally true that if a public man have acquired a competent degree Of practical information, his Opinions will carry greater weight, and he will be less liable to fall into erroneous conclusions. They, especially, who are desirous Of altering the constitution Of our banking establishments should be anxious not to weaken the force Of their recommendations by making misstatements as to matters Of fact. The public have a right to expect that they who attempt to improve a system should be well acquainted with the system they attempt to improve.

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Banking, Currency, and the Exchanges The study of the theory and practice of banking no doubt suffers considerable neglect by reason of there being no special qualifications demanded of those who are elected into the service of banking institutions. A student seldom takes a deep interest in any subject until he has removed much of that elementary matter which forms the exterior crust of all sciences, and which requires diligent application to succeed in penetrating after which the interest becomes more and more engaged.

The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive account and reconsideration of the contribution to political economy of Thomas Tooke (1774-1858), classical economist and influential monetary theorist. Its chief purpose is to examine Tooke’s contributions to political economy with the aim of bringing to light its unified nature and its important legacy to contemporary economics. In doing so the book aims to throw new light on monetary analysis within the framework of classical economics. There remains no comprehensive account of Tooke’s contributions that is concerned with showing his lasting and ongoing influence on the development of monetary thought. The book provides an interpretation and analytical study of Tooke’s political economy from the standpoint of the classical tradition. This enables a demonstration of how his constructive contribution throws a new light on monetary thought in this tradition.

Excerpt from Banking and Commerce: A Practical Treatise for Bankers and Men of Business, Together With the Author's Experiences of Banking Life in England and Canada During Fifty Years The author has taken particular pains to open up the relation of Banking to Commerce, as a handmaid and tributary to it, and this, as distinguished from other modes of employing and investing money; and has endeavored to show the danger of confounding the functions of a banker with those of a capitalist, or a Loan Company, whose sphere is found in the lending of money on mortgage, or the undertaking of loans for long periods to governments or corporations. It was long ago observed that a large part of the art of banking con sisted in knowing the difference between a bill of exchange and a mort gage. Simple as this may sound, it opens up a whole world of interesting study: and to become thoroughly master of it, in its practical application, has baffled the ability of many a man otherwise eminent in the sphere of finance. And the failure to carry out this distinction in practice has involved many an institution of these times in financial overthrow. All this will be considered in the course of the work now submitted, and as the author has largely drawn from his own experience and observation, he thinks it mav be well to say a few words about them.
