Excerpt from The London Money Market: A Practical Guide to What It Is Where It Is and the Operations Conducted in It
It embodies the results of some twenty years' practical experience of banking and monetary problems gained in that most useful of all places, the London office of a great banking corporation. A City bank, however, is hardly a school in which to acquire wisdom while you wait, and, unless what is learnt there is accompanied by wide reading, many of the problems that arise daily will remain unsolved. The Author hastens to add, then, that throughout his banking career he has been a great reader of banking and economic literature to this, no less than to his rubbing shoulders with the genial dealers in money, he owes the thoughts which in this book he endeavours to pass on to others.
