A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The substance of the fullowing pages appeared as a series of articles in a financial magazine during the years 1880-83. These articles are now presented in a collected form, after revision and extension, in the hope that they may be of service to those who are interested in the progress of Scottish banking. The author cannot hope that he has escaped malung errors, but he has taken all possible care, by collation of authorities and otherwise, to ascertain the coi-rectness of his statements of facts. As to the opinions expressed from time to time, he is, of course, solely responsible. No similar work having, so far as the writer is aware, been ever before published, allowance will, perhaps, be made for incompleteness and other faults, arising from the difficulty of obtaining information. Scottish bankers, and financiers generally, have, with few exceptions, been slow to record their experiences and opinions. Consequently the data from which such a work as the present must be constructed exist only in a meagre and scattered torm. A general idea of the sources of information A vill be obtained from the foot-notes throughout the volume.
