Item description from seller

8vo. 192 pp. Original brown cloth, gilt stamped spine and front board. Discoloration from old offset on title and flyleaf. "Johnson had long been dispensing advice to bankers through letters, speeches, and occasional articles, but in the winter of 1849 he decided that what was chiefly needed was a rule book for bankers, a body of theory and precedent such as existed for the law, a kind of bible for the would-be faithful.which he dispatched.to the only American journal he thought could possibly be interested in the subject, J. Smith Homans' American Bankers' Magazine in Boston." [see: Todd & Sonkin's "Alexander Bryan Johnson, Philosophical Banker," pp.303-8]. Johnson's essay on banking first appeared in Holman's magazine in June 1849. This common-place book includes essays on banking by several different authors, including Johnson, as well as a Numismatic Dictionary.
