Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Banks and Banking The object of this book is to present the law of the subject in brief compass, in accordance with the plan of the Hornbook Series. The author has had in view, however, that the sub ject is one that concerns rather practitioners than law stu dents, and for this reason he has covered many questions in the text and notes that might have been omitted, had the book been intended primarily for law students, and he nas made a fuller citation of the decisions than he would other wise have done. The fundamental part of the law of banks and banking relates to the various transactions between banks and bankers and those dealing with them. The author has not entered upon the field of corporation law, except so far as the law of banking corporations seemed to require special discussion, and he has not dealt with the varying statutory provisions of the different states respecting banking corpora tions; but he has endeavored to cover the field of national banks and the National Bank Act, so far as it is affected by the decisions. The National Bank Act and other provisions of the federal statutes relating to national banks are printed in an Appendix, with historical and explanatory notes pre pared by the editorial staff of the publishers. When treating of questions concerning checks and other negotiable instru ments, the author has referred to the Negotiable Instruments Law, and has pointed out the not infrequent changes intro duced by it.
