Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Banking Practice In 1895, the Editing Committee of the Journal of the Canadian Bankers' Association consisted of Mr. J. H. Plummer, then Assistant General Manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Mr. J. Henderson, Assistant General Manager of the Bank of Toronto, and Mr. E. Hay, Assistant General Manager of the Imperial Bank of Canada, and to these gentlemen, and to Mr. V. C. Brown, who for many years acted as Editor of the Journal, its readers are indebted for a fund of useful knowledge, which the presentation of in book form will, it is hoped, serve to perpetuate and make easy of acquisition. The hundreds of questions received deal with nearly every possible point of practical interest likely to present itself during the daily routine of a bank. The replies given by the gentlemen named, and by their successors in office, to the questions asked of them, necessitated a thorough knowledge of banking custom and usage, and of the general principles of the law as it appertains to acceptances, cheques, deposit receipts, endorsements, letters of credit, circular notes, warehouse receipts, partnership accounts, powers of attorney, bankers' lien, forgery, negotiable instruments, bills of exchange, promissory notes, surety, etc. In instances where legal points were involved the advice of counsel was sought (the legal adviser until recently being Mr. Z. A. Lash, K.C.). "Canadian Banking Practice," as a work of reference, undoubtedly affords information upon almost every conceivable point likely to arise in the course of dealings between banks and their customers, and in addition to the knowledge of usage and custom likely to be acquired by the student of its pages, he will be given an appreciation of the general principles of the law governing banking and commercial transactions.
