Excerpt from History of the Bank of England, Vol. 2: 1640 1903

I am conscious of many other short-comings in this book, which is a product of youth; were it not for the pressure of University duties and other work I should have completed and revised it. In its present form it is the result of the conscientious study of several years; and as such I hope it will obtain the indulgence of my new readers.

It only remains for me to express my thanks to Mrs. H. O. Meredith, who has spared no pains in the work of translation, and to Professor Foxwell, whose instructive preface is sufficient in itself to give the book a special value.

Excerpt from History of the Bank of England, Vol. 2: 1640 1903

The Author of this book gladly welcomes the appearance of an English translation of so satisfactory a character. At the same time it may be well to remind the English reader that this is a history of an English institution written by a foreigner and intended for the use of foreigners. Difficulties must arise in any attempt to judge the institutions of other countries and to form an opinion with regard to advisable reforms. The task is especially hard in the case of a country like England, where more attention is paid to facts than to theories. Hence with respect to various questions, especially some arising towards the end of the work, when I have been unable to support my own views by the opinions of an English authority, I have chosen rather to confine myself to a statement of the facts than to set forth theories which might be disproved by subsequent events.

Moreover, in writing for French readers, I have described various matters and in particular historical events, the discussion of which may perhaps be superfluous for English readers.
