7–17036.
The sixty addresses included in this volume cover the period since 1900 and deal authoritatively with practical problems as they affect actual conditions. The papers are grouped in three sections; General banking, Banking reform and currency, and The trust company, and they discuss these subjects in three various subdivisions and from various points of view. The volume is intended as a reference book in connection with studies in banking and currency.
“The collection will be found useful to students of our monetary situation even though few of these papers have any such value as would make them worthy of a permanent place in the literature of money.” L.
