American Finance e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The last four chapters, though not within the scope of our definition of Finance, are added because the popular conception of the term IS wider, and readers may expect to find some treatment of these matters in the work. The chapter on Money is an introduction to that on Banking, a subject possessing the deepest practical interest to all. In concluding this preface, it is a pleasure to ac knowledge my great indebtedness to Hon. Charles W. Stone, for several years a Member of Congress from the Twenty-seventh District of Pennsylvania, whose unfailing and prompt assistance has been excelled only by his um varying kindness in rendering it.
