The Bookman says:—

“The worth of the expert is proved. Mr. Warren on banking subjects enjoys our confidence and many editions.”

And The Glasgow Herald says:—

“Mr. Warren’s caustic criticisms of bankers and their peculiarities have been widely appreciated.”


INTRODUCTION

BY A LONDON BANKER

I confess that when a publisher asked me to write an introduction to Mr. Warren’s little book I experienced some surprise; because, in the past, he handled bankers rather roughly. Perhaps the audacity of the request appealed to me. At any rate, I consented to read the proof-sheets, and, finally, perhaps a trifle reluctantly, to stand sponsor for the work in a qualified sense. I do not agree with all he says, by any means.

Here is the eighth edition of a well-written, interesting guide for the customer, who has obviously found it useful. The book would not have obtained a market unless it were wanted. This must be granted. And I think that it was wanted even from the point of view of a banker.
