Excerpt from Chapters and Documents on Chinese National Banking

The best apology for attempting this treatise and for doing so badly withal is a discussion of the previously existing books on Chinese National Banking printed in the English language.

Money reform in China has been treated in various books, pamphlets, and magazine articles. Schemes for the reform of Chinese banks, being closely related to the reform of Chinese money, have also been treated at some length. There are, however, only three books devoted wholly or in part to Chinese bank reform, those of Jenks, Vissering and Wagel, written respectively in 1904, 1913, and 1915.

Passing to the realm of events in the practice of banking in China that of banks as they actually have been, not of banks as they should be, we find just one systematic treatise in the English language. This is Mr. Jules Gory's notes on the Ta Chong Bank, 33 pages, written eleven years ago. Therein Mr. Gory sets forth the simple events of the first four years of China's experience in national banking. His treatise is, by the way, highly praiseworthy as a piece of accurate, conscientious work, and I have gratefully drawn from it at several points.
