I am a foreigner, but as five of the establishments included in the bank of which I am President are situated in cities of the United States, I hope you will not regard me as a foreigner for the moment. T here are very few banks in the whole country who have a larger interest in the soundness of your banking and in your freedom from panics than my own bank. Remembering my peculiar position, I am particularly desirous not to wound the susceptibilities of any of my hearers, but I hope it is safe to say that Alexander Hamilton was clearly the leading intellect in that wonderful group of men who framed the constitution. At a time when few men could withstand the onrush of new ideas, largely visionary and false, Which accompanied the French Revolution, Hamilton was unshaken in his clear vision as to the future of his country, and few will deny that where you followed his advice you did well, and where you opposed it you did not always act wisely. It may be argued that neither of the two Banks of the United States were so admirable in their careers that we need sigh over their removal, but we can only judge them by comparison with the smaller banks of the same period. In your colonial and revolutionary times you had a curiously full and varied experience in banking and currency. F iat money, depreciated coinage, currency based on land, clamour by debtors for cheaper money with which to pay debts, were all amply experienced. In the following period, contempor aneously with the first and second Banks of the United States, you passed through a time largely of mania in banking; a time when history was recording for this country such fundamental facts as that banks cannot establish a capital fund merely upon the promissory notes of shareholders; cannot put bank-notes into circulation even by the ex pedient of sending them far from home before issuing them, without considering how they are to be redeemed; can not lend money on land, or lock it up in other ways, and also have it again when the bank's debts, exigible on demand,fall to be paid. Indeed it was a time when every vagary in unsound banking was being tried. But Hamilton, from some of these experiences and from European history, planned for you a banking system which contained much of what is good in the successful systems of the world. You would not, however, have his system, but preferred to repeat in each new district, from east to south and west, wherever debt and ignorance combined to create banking and currency, the same errors which make such startling history in the early part of the nineteenth century. Is it not time for us to put aside that silly vanity to which democracies are inclined-that it is better to try our own experiments and to ignore history? Unfortunately the apparently brand-new experiments we are willing to try have usually occurred to others in the past, if we had but patience to discover the fact.

Descrizione dello Store
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
