Sayfa 291 - ... of small amount that can supersede the metal currency. This amounts to a subsidy to each banker to enable him to keep open a bank till depositors choose to come to it. The country where deposit banking is- most diffused is Scotland, and there the original profits were entirely derived from the circulation. The note issue is now a most trifling part of the liabilities of the Scotch banks, but it was once their mainstay and source of profit. A curious book, lately published, has enabled us to follow...
Sayfa 360 - Act, and if an address is presented to His Majesty by either House of Parliament within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which that House has sat...
Sayfa 154 - All truly loyal people have closed the chapter of civic controversy with the officials and into that book they are likely to look no more.

Sayfa 291 - But to establish a note circulation, a large number of persons need only do nothing. They receive the banker's notes in the common course of their business, and they have only not to take those notes to the banker for payment If the public refrain from taking trouble, a paper circulation is immediately in existence.

Sayfa 204 - This senseless similitude, in its immemorial fixed pose, is nothing more than an uninspired brazen image, vacuously squinting down its nose to its thumbs, knees, and toes. A boiled suet pudding would serve equally well as a symbol for passionless purity and serenity of soul.
Sayfa 300 - DISCUSSION ON THE FOREGOING PAPER Ax a meeting of the East India Association held at Caxton Hall, Westminster, on Monday, January 18, 1915, a paper was read by Mr. E. A, Molony, ICs, entitled " Wells for Irrigation in India.
Sayfa 285 - It agreed, on receiving sufficient guarantees, to open, or create, credits in favour of respectable and trustworthy persons. A Cash Credit is, therefore, simply a drawing account, created in favour of a customer, upon which he may operate in precisely the same manner, as on a common drawing account. The only difference being, that instead of receiving interest upon the daily balance at his credit, as is very commonly the custom in Scotland, he pays interest upon the daily balance at his debit. It...
Sayfa 432 - God is the light of heaven and earth : the similitude of his light is as a niche in a wall, wherein a lamp is placed, and the lamp enclosed in a case of glass; the glass appears as it were a shining star. It is lighted with the oil of a blessed tree, an olive neither of the east, nor of the west: it wanteth little but that the oil thereof would give light, although no fire touched it.
