Excerpt from The Canadian Banking System But to the student of the history of banking in the United States there is little that is radically new in the Canadian system. He finds in it many of the practices and expedients that were found excellent in the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century, and is almost persuaded that but for the civil war what is now known as the Canadian banking system would everywhere be called the American system.

Excerpt from The Canadian Banking System: 1817-1890 If any were required, a reason - perhaps a suffi cient reason - for the present investigation might be offered in the circumstance that an essay to present in a systematic and fairly thorough manner the facts with which I have attempted to deal, has never yet appeared in print. The growth and improvement of the banking system are parts of the commercial and legislative history of Canada even less cultivated than the broader field of its economic history. Yet the course of the development ought by no means to be devoid of interest; the results in some respects are unique; and where it is now carried on the Cana dian system of banking is believed to be productive of the highest possible advantages. A second reason could well be found in relation with the banking situation of the United States. Observers in all quarters have noticed the growing necessity for reform in the currency and banking system Of this country, and have remarked the demonstration of the necessity in the frightful crisis precipitated by distrust in the value of the currency commonly used. They have noticed also, especially among those who are most deeply interested in the organization of credit, the growing conviction of this necessity - a conviction of which the last and most Significant expressions are the resolutions adopted on the 11th October, 1894, by the American Bankers' Association, in convention assembled at Baltimore. It is possible, at least, that from some account Of the Canadian banking system an American will Obtain instructive contrasts, as well in history, as in present organization and methods of operation, to the system of banking and bank legislation which has Obtained in the United States.

Excerpt from The Early History of Canadian Banking, Origin of the Canadian Banking System Though the Canadian system was established largely through the influence, and under the direction of persons of Scottish nationality, yet it does not follow that these persons were prejudiced in favor of Scottish examples. The richest national individuality is that which is capable of absorbing the widest range of foreign experience without losing its character istics. It is matter of common observation that the pro nounced individuality of the Scotchman is almost invariably accompanied by the widest cosmopolitanism. The Scotch man's capacity, in every region of the world, to adapt himself to circumstances, or more often to induce them to meet him half way, is proverbial, and mainly because in so doing he only intensifies his national identity. The Scotchmen who were so prominent in the early days of Canadian commerce, did not attain to that position by any special adherence to Scottish experience. Few of them had much occasion to be familiar with the mechanism of exchange before leaving their native country, otherwise Canada had never known them. Their com mercial experience was gained on this side of the Atlantic. Even after they became extensive traders, there were few occa sions in which they had any direct intercourse with their coun trymen in Scotland. The Canadian trade was almost wholly confined to New York and the New England States, and the West Indies, on this side the Atlantic, and London, with a few other English towns, on the other. 80 late as 1823 the ship ping lists show only rare arrivals from any Scottish port.

Excerpt from The History of Banking in Canada Efforts to introduce the practice of banking into the British North American provinces were put forth as early as 1792. The "Canada Banking Company," then organized by certain English firms and Montreal merchants, was not destined long to survive its origin, although one at least of its 5-shilling notes which has been preserved (No. 6803) is proof that it exercised the function of issue. It seems to have left little trace, either in men's memories or in the records of the time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It has been thought well to also include an article on The Development of Banking in Canada, written specially for the Jubilee Edition of the Toronto Globe. Published 0 the zud July, 1904.

Excerpt from The Canadian System of Banking and the National Banking System of the United States: A Comparison With Reference to the Banking Requirements of Canada Mr. Foster's Banking Bill places before the public one of the most important questions affecting the business interests of the country with which legislators have to deal - the renewal of the Bank Charters. Discussion regarding the conditions under which banking is in future to be conducted iri Canada is mainly contributed by newspaper editors and anonymous writers, many of whom can have little practical knowledge of the business of bank ing. Their views are apt to be reflected in. Parliament by some of the members, as it is not to be supposed that many members can devote sufficient time to master the details Of such an intricate subject, and arrive at an understanding of the underlying principles. It therefore seems fitting that a contribution to the discussion should be ofi'ered by a banker, and having had many years of practical experience in the working of the two systems, I venture to ask the attention Of the public to the follow ing paper comparing the Canadian and the United States National Banking Systems.

Excerpt from A Brief Historical Sketch of Canadian Banking and Currency, the Laws Relating Thereto Since Confederation, and a Comparison With British and American Systems Modern systems of banking have much in common, and this isspecially true of what may be termed English systems, in cluding under this designation those prevailing in the United States and British Colonies, as well as those in Great Britain and Ireland. In discussing, then Canadian banking and cur rency, we cannot well avoid referring frequently to British and American systems, and it is desirable that these references should take the form not only of explanation, but of comparison. In fact, our Canadian banking system, like our Canadian political constitution, is a compound of British and American elements, with a few native ingredients intermingled, and rendered necessary by our peculiar circumstances.
