Such works, too,
consisting of a continuous narrative, present to most
students the discouraging prospect of a formidable
undertaking, which they fear will never be
completed."--_Extract from Preface_.

The Banks of New York; Their Dealers; The Clearing-House; and the
Panic of 1857. With a Financial Chart. By J.S. Gibbons. With Thirty
Illustrations, by Herrick. 1 vol. 12mo. 400 pages. Cloth, $1.50.
A book for every Man of Business, for the Bank Officer and
Clerk; for the Bank Stockholder and Depositor; and,
especially for the Merchant and his Cash Manager; also for
the Lawyer, who will here find the exact Responsibilities
that exist between the different officers of Banks and the
Clerks, and between them and the Dealers.
The operations of the Clearing-House are described in
detail, and illustrated by a financial Chart, which
exhibits, in an interesting manner, the fluctuations of the
Bank Loans.
The immediate and exact cause of the Panic of 1857 is
clearly demonstrated by the records of the Clearing-House,
and a scale is presented by which the deviation of the
volume of Bank Loans from an average standard of safety can
be ascertained at a single glance.
