Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Manual of Foreign Exchanges in the Direct, Indirect, and Cross Operations of Bills of Exchange and Bullion: Including an Extensive Investigation of the Arbitrations of Exchange, According to the Practice of the First British and Foreign Houses, With Numerous Formulæ and Tables of the Weights and Measures of Other Countries, Compared With the Imperial Standards

IN the composition of an extensive work on Exchanges upon which I have been for some years engaged, I found it necessary to combine, in the form of an introduction, the explanations of the principles of those arithmetical pro cesses which are of general application, in order both to save much repetition, and to admit of that minuteness which is requisite to give a clear conception of their purport. This however could not well be accomplished without the working of many examples, and the use of many formulas, and when these were introduced the whole appeared too bulky, and, I may add, too elementary to constitute part of a treatise confined to the Practice of Exchanges. I have therefore adapted the suggestion of some of my commercial Friends, and made a separate volume of these materials, Imitad with a brief notice of other subjects of most general utility; considering that the whole would form a compen dium very convenient for reference, and would contain sutfi cient information to answer the purposes of many of those who desire to consult a Work upon Exchanges.

The first of the other two Classes consists of Young Gentlemen immediately completing their Education and the Second Class of such Pupils as require some preparation before they enter the First Class.

Gentlemen may either board or dine at the Academy or they may attend only during the hours of Instruction.

The System of Instruction in its chief Commercial Branches agrees with the different Works on the Subject which Mr. Tate, Sen., has laid before the Public, with some additions and alterations.

The business is conducted and constantly superintended by the Principals of this Establishment and Assistant Masters of eminence are engaged in every department.

Hours of Attendance.

The business begins at Nine in the Morning, and no Pupil is admitted after Ten, unless by particular permission. The interval between half-past One and half-past Two is allowed for Dinner. No Pupil is admitted in the Afternoon after Three, and the business closes at Five; but Gentlemen living at a distance may leave at an earlier hour by appointment of their Friends. On Wednesday and Saturday the business closes at One.

To prevent improper irregular attendance, every Pupil is required to sign the Book of his Class, at his entrance into the School, and it is expected that he will be provided with a note to account for any previous absence.

When for misconduct or neglect of his Studies, a Pupil is detained at the Academy beyond the regular Hours, an account is taken of the cause and duration of his detention, and, if required, the same is transmitted to his Friends.

The Academy is opened on Monday and Thursday Evenings from Six to Nine, exclusively for the Instruction of Gentlemen engaged in business during the Day.
