Synopsis
Excerpt from The Methods and Machinery of Practical Banking
To the english people, in hall and cottage, in city or country, who so cheerfully responded to all my inquiries; and to MY twelve year-old son, the companion of my travels, whose familiar presence made all lands home to me, this volume is cordially inscribed.
Mr. Patten was a genial, whole-souled man, one of nature's noble men, whose unexpected and untimely demise was mourned not only by his immediate friends and acquaintances, but by the entire banking community in which he had, for a long time, played so prominent a part. The direct cause of his death was over-work. He died at Boston, May 22, 1886. The papers collected in the present work began in rhodes' journal OF banking in August, 1884, and were continued.
