This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Bank of England and Its Financial Services to the State But though the Bank Of England was at its origin rather an incident Of State finance than the foundation Of a national banking system, its services to the State were very narrowly restricted by statute. It is curious to note that those exchequer functions which it afterwards under took, and Whose gradual assumption it is the principal Object of this book to trace, are not even referred to in the original act and charter. The fact is that the Bank Of England, like most really English institutions, was case made; it owed its form and functions not to systematic planning, but to attempts to meet emergencies as they from time to time arose. Thus the running cash note, which afterwards became the most effective banking instru ment Of the English bank, was an evasion, even if not (as Often alleged) a positive infraction of its charter. The Charter only contemplated an issue Of sealed bills, strictly limited in amount to the capital subscribed. If this was SO with its banking methods, it was equally the case with its relations to the Exchequer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Bank of England: With an Examination of the Question as to the Prolongation of the Exclusive Privileges of That Establishment A security of this sort has been exacted in the case of the Bank of England; and the whole lent by the Bank to Government, must be sacrificed before the holders of her notes can sustain the smallest loss. Her stability has, therefore, been truly said, by Dr. Smith, to be equal to that of the British government. The system of taking securities having been found to answer so well in the case of the Bank of England, is a powerful argu ment in favour of its extension. Were securities taken from the country banks, their ultimate failure, in the capacity of banks of issue, would be rendered impossible and a degree of solidity would be given to our money system, which it is idle to expect it can ever attain, so long as it continues on its present footing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Bank of England: A History of English Banking, and a Sketch of the Money Market Little is known of William Paterson's early career, the various accounts relating thereto being meagre and conflicting, his enemies describing him as a mere adventurer, and his friends declaring that he was actuated by the worthiest of motives. However, when it is remembered that his second great venture (the Darien scheme) involved thousands in ruin, it is evident that had the man been a saint he would not have lacked detractors, and though his public utterances sound quaintly pious to the modern ear, it seems probable that he was only an enterprising merchant, whose morality was neither better nor worse than that of the times in which he lived.

This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Contribution to the Bibliography of the Bank of England A bibliography of the Bank is the more needed, as its history from the' scientific standpoint of the Political Economist has yet to be written. Francis's History, an excellent work within its limits, deals with the subject rather from the popular point of view. Possibly, if any one endowed with the necessary qualifications for writing a full and exact history of the Bank of England, the literary skill to deal with the vast mass of: material, and the historical imagination to give it form and consistency, has ever contemplated the task, he may have been deterred by its magnitude, by the reflection that it must embrace a great deal of the commercial and most of the financial history of the country during more than two centuries. For the literature 011 the subject is enormous, and as the information it contains has never been collected and exhibited in a systematic form, it is the more necessary that a record of it should be preserved. The Bank has occupied a high position in national finance from its first establishment, and has had to pay the usual penalty of exalted station. It has been subjected to criticism of all kinds; there has been a tendency to exaggerate its short-comings, real or imaginary, and a corresponding disposition to decry its merits. It has offered a ready mark to the average currency theorist, frequently a man of one idea, delighted to find fault, and recommending his particular panacea for all commercial evils. But the factors of a financial problem are often far too complex to be distinguishable by the average student, be he theorist or man of business, and the abuse lavished upon the Bank and the Bank system is in manv cases simply the result of ignorance.
