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. 
MONEY : Its Connection with Rising and 
Falling Prices 
By Epwin Cannan, M.A., LL.D., sometime Professor of 
Political Economy in the University of London. Author of 
“Wealth,” etc. Fifth Edition. The latter portion has been 
entirely re-written, much new matter added, and cloth 
binding substituted for paper. 120 pp. 3s. 6d. 
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.
