Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Banking: With a Comprehensive Account of the Origin, Rise, and Progress of the Banks of England, Ireland, and Scotland Custom, which is as arbitrary as fashion, renders it necessary that the following pages should be prefaced with a few remarks by the Author; and in fulfilling that custom, in addition to the ordinary preliminary matter, I propose, however little I may grace my cause in speaking of myself, to give a short biographical sketch of my early connexion with the banking interest, so that the reader may be assured that the work has not been "cooked" to suit the taste of this or that party, but that it is a faithful record of events connected with Commerce and Banking, compiled by one practically acquainted with the subject on which he treats. At the age of sixteen I left Christ´s Hospital, in which religious ancient and royal foundation I received the rudiments of my education, and, having doffed the blue coat and yellow stockings, made my first appearance on the world´s stage, where every one must play his part. I had, either naturally or from my education, a good share of confidence and self-possession - most important adjuncts to a youth, especially at the present time; and with these essentials I traversed the streets of this vast metropolis, not in search of the picturesque, but of employment. How I succeeded "it is now my bent to speak." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
