A HISTORY OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND
By A. ANDREADES, C.B.E., Professor of Public Finance in
the University of Athens. With a Preface by Professor
H. S. FoxweLL, M.A. Second Edition. Demy 8vo. 455 pp.
159.
Manchester Guardian.—‘‘ The book discloses not only wide research on the part of the writer,
but also a deep sympathy with the subject which carries the reader along with it. It is certainly
the History of the Bank, and derives special interest from being the work of a foreigner, who
naturally does not view his subject from exactly the same standpoint as ourselves. As a history
it appears to be marvellously comprehensive, and the review of the surrounding conditions
affecting general finance at various periods is both accurate and intelligent.”
THE AMALGAMATION MOVEMENT IN
ENGLISH BANKING
By J. Sykes, B.A., M.Com., Assistant Lecturer in Economics,
University College, Exeter. Demy 8vo. 243 pp. 10s. 64.
This movement has been in progress over a long period of years in one or
other of its somewhat diverse forms. But not until the discovery in the
‘“ twenties’ of the nineteenth century, that joint-stock banks might actually be
set up, and until subsequent agitation had provoked the passing of the 1826
Act, was it possible for the concentration movement to assume its modern
phase. It is from this period that this history is recorded.

RUSSIAN CURRENCY AND BANKING,
1914-1924
By S. S. KATZENELLENBAUM, Professor of Economics in the
First State University of Moscow, Member of the Board of
Directors of the State Bank of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics. Demy 8vo. 198 pp. gs.
In publishing this treatise in English a double aim is kept in view. On the
one hand, it is desired to make the British public acquainted with the changes
that have taken place in the last few years in the currency and credit system
in Russia ; on the other, to make known to those interested in theoretical pro-
blems the views of the author regarding the laws governing the depreciation
of paper currency.
