The public appreciation of the late Mr. Grilbart sworks on banking has been testified by their frequent reissues. Of his various publications, the History and Principles of Banking, and the Practical Treatise on Banking, have been the most popular, and still rank as standard text-books. In the present volume they are combined, with the double view of preserving the more valuable characteristics of both, and, by lessening the cost, of bringing them within the reach of the many. Entrusted by the publishers with the preparation of this combined edition, I have laboured to do them justice, if not intelligently, at least assiduously. In one respect I have been singularly fortunate. Wheresoever, or to whomsoever, I have applied for information to theB ank of England, the Clearing House, Joint-S tock Banks, Country Banks to directors, managers, stock-brokers, clerks I have been received courteously, answered unreservedly (confidential matters of course excepted), and have been afforded the information I sought, rather as if I were conferring a favour oh my informants,, than as if I were the party benefited and honoured.
