Excerpt from History, Principles Practice of Banking, Vol. 1
History and Principles of Banking and his Practical Treatise on Banking.
Ten years ago, with the view of bringing them within the reach of a wider circle of readers, these works were combined in one volume, and the cost was materially lessened. And with the view of still further carrying out that object, the present edition has been prepared in a form, and at a cost, which it is hoped will make it easily accessible to all.
These works, having been originally published nearly fifty years ago, when joint-stock banking was almost in its infancy, necessarily contained much matter, which, although interesting and instructive at the time, is now quite obsolete. Much, therefore, which appeared in pre vions editions has been struck out of the present issue, but great care has at the same time been taken to delete nothing of any historical interest, or that bears directly or indirectly on any pending question.

Excerpt from History, Principles Practice of Banking, Vol. 1
When I undertook the task of re-editing Mr. Michie's edition of Gilbart's "History, Principles, and Practice of Banking," a very short study of the book was necessary to convince me that the work required considerable delicacy in the handling. The feeling grew upon me that I was about to run counter to the well-established maxim that old garments should not be mended with new cloth. Not that I was about to patch a ragged coat with sound cloth, but I feared lest I was attempting to insert patches of modern cloth into an old historical costume, and that the result might be a grotesque mixture.
Gilbart on Banking has become a classic. Gilbart himself was a giant among the pioneers of early joint-stock banking. He started his banking career some thirteen years before joint-stock banks were even possible in England, with the exception of the Bank of England. He took an active share in the task of raising these banks from the position of outcasts, barely tolerated and jealously restricted, to one, at all events, somewhere on the same plane as the older type of bank.
