Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History and Principles of Banking This book was not written to applaud or censure the acts of any statesman; to attack or defend any existing banking establishment; to advance or refute any new theory respecting the currency. It aims not to instruct the members of the cabinet, nor to guide the counsels of the senate. Its only aim 2 is to impart useful knowledge to the public at large. Banking is both an art and a science. As an art it is a branch of trade intimately connected with every man´s business; as a science, it forms an important portion of political economy. The knowledge of banking as an art, is acquired like that of other arts, by serving an apprenticeship, or engaging practically in its operations. The knowledge of banking, as a science, may be acquired like that of other sciences, by reading, observation, and reflection. These two branches of knowledge do not always accompany each other. Some, who are practically engaged in banking, do not study its principles; while those who have written upon its principles, have, for the most part, been political economists and statesmen, who were unacquainted with its practical details. This publication will, perhaps, be thought worthy of some degree of attention, upon the ground that it professes to be a scientific work, written by a practical man. This book may be considered as a grammar of banking. The general reader may here acquire a competent knowledge of most of the facts and principles connected with the subject: and those who wish for a more extensive reading, would do well to begin with this work, and then proceed to the perusal of those excellent pamphlets and treatises which have been written upon detached and controversial portions of the science.
