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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Bank of England, Vol. 2: Its Times and Traditions The vast quantity of gold expected from the South American mines was so great that many well-informed persons, according to Mr. Tooke, "believed, and acted on the belief, of a diminished value in gold and silver in consequence." A journalist of the day, writing on what was evidently a feeling, if not a belief, founds on it an essay, of which the following is an extract. "The Chancellor of the Exchequer was obliged to give up his customary budget, and introduced a new system of duties in kind. I had an opportunity of hearing a Right Hon. Gentleman, who filled that situation, very pathetically lament that the 'overproduction of gold then, was as great an evil as the over-production of grain had been formerly.'
