American Banking Practices by William H. Kniffin

March 6, 2010

PREFACE

For a long time past there has been an apparent need for a treatise on practical banking that would give a complete summary of the operation of a bank in such form as could be used as a text for teaching.

While many excellent works have heretofore been written on both the theory and practice of banking, no one work has in itself adequately covered the subject, making necessary the use of several books in order to supply such information as the student requires. Moreover, no other work has attempted to weave into banking practice the Negotiable Instruments Law, so essential to bank operation. It has therefore been the aim to present a simple, yet comprehensive picture of the work of a bank in every detail.

The author wishes to make special acknowledgement to that splendid work recently issued by the National City Bank under the title Practical Bank Operation, from which many valuable suggestions have been obtained as to the conduct of a large institution. Supplementing his own experiences and observations with such information, he has attempted to present a composite picture of banking practice as it is now conducted under recognized American procedure. Credit is also due to the Irving National Bank of New York for the use of its forms.
