Riassunto

Excerpt from The Scotch Banks and System of Issue: Including Translation of Les Banques

In the translation of Les Banques d'ecosse, here given, a little freedom has been used, (1) in leaving out, in two or three parts, sentences of purely French application not bearing on the general argument, and (z) in setting aside some of M. Wolowski's appended Tables in favour of the later and more comprehensive statistics which it was necessary to compile for this work. It may be here remarked, though without any bias, on the main subject, or any intention to dwell on the question whether it arises from the flattering conclusion of a distinguished French author, nearly a centnry ago, that Scotland is the country where the spirit of observation has been brought to the greatest perfection, or from the more popular and public style of our banking system, that neither England nor France could produce such an exhaustive detail of its whole banking state as is given'of that of Scotland in our Appendix alone. This remark maybe the more freely made, because, if the statistics of banking in Eng land had been as attainable as in Scotland, one or two of the plain conclusions in the following pages would have been fortified by larger evidence.
