Handbook Of The Law Of Banks And Banking Classic Reprint

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.

Excerpt from The Law of Bank Collections It has been the aim of the author to make this work an accurate and exhaustive treatise on the law of bank collections, and with that end in view, he has endeavored to consult and incorporate all the decisions on this important branch of banking law. It is believed that the importance of the subject justifies the labor required to follow out such a mode of treatment, and it is hoped that the result is a book which shall be of practical service to both lawyer and banker. The treatment which the subject of bank collections has received heretofore in general works on banks and banking is incomplete and inadequate in many respects. A great deal of the law on the subject is comparatively new, and necessitates, in some cases, a modification or a complete change of old rules and principles. Special care has been taken to determine and state the true relation between the collecting bank and its customer, for many of the difficulties encountered in this branch of the law are traceable to a misconception of the relation between the parties.
