Early History of Famous Bank-
ing Institutions-
Recent Amaigamations-The Foun-
ders ofthe Oldest Banks-Re-
markable Cheques In the
Thirties.
The history oi privm-B D5?-C5'-Z Un'
terprise is s. branch of literature
which appears to have been decidedly
neglected. Perhaps this is because it
has been considered that Some of the, _
secrets of the bank parlor, which re-
quire to be preserved with such scru- I
pulous care, might possibly be dis-
closed. On the other hand, in view
of tho bool; amalgamations which
are constantly in progress, and of
-which the latest example is found in
the combination between the Union
oi London and Smiths and the
group of enterprises, which`for con-
venience sake, are known as Pres-
cott's. it seems almost a pity that
each banking house has not been
compelled to keep a chronicle oi the
leading incidents in its career. Old
and famous nrms are being absorbed.
and their identity runs some risk at.
least of being obscured by the pro-
cess. In a few cases, happily, an at-
tempt has been made to place on
permanent record the story of old-
established private banks. There is
Bristol Old Bank, for instance. one
of the few commercial enterprises oi
the kind founded before the Bank ot
England was created. Thiefwas one
of the undertakings amalgamated
with Prescott's in 1891. and now in-
cluded in the larger combination al-
ready mentioned. There is an inter-
esting account of this and other
Bristol bn£ in an elaborate volume.
entitled " History of Banking hi
Bristol," by Mr. Charles H. Cavs,
whose pen covers the period from
1750 to 1390. ~
An odd thing about the Union
Bank of London is that, while it has
number of the older banks, including
that of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and
Smiths. which was originally estab-
lshcd at Nottingham as lar back as
1868, it is of itsel! of relatively mod-
ern origin. Its prospectus was issued
in January, 1839, at which time. it
appears, there were only three joint
stock banks in the monetnrywcapital
of the world, The ba.nk'Scems to
have been largely of Scottish origin.
It originally began business at P 8
Moorgate street, but in 1845 remov-
ed to its present premises, 2 Princes
street. The nominal capital of the
undertaking at the time if- Was crc- A
ated was £3,000,000. The recentl!
announced amalgamation will bring
the amount up to £25,000,000. It
is only of into that the Union Bank
has acquiesced in a policy of combi-
nation, _
PI'escott's Bank was nrst establish-
ed in Threadneedle street in 1776,
under the style of Prescott, Grote 6:
Co. There were, as inevitably 119-?-
pens, a good many Cha-H299 ill 01°
oom-no of years, and eventually the
iirm cams to be known as Prescott.
Cave, Buxton, Loder dz Co. D_1111S-
dele as Co. took up banking business
soihs four years earlier  the firm
with which they were destined soon
to amalgamate. They Were, IOCRT-Cd
at 50 Cornhill, the present omces oi
Proscott’s Bank. This house WM 0'”
iginauy known by the sum °f the
Golden Helmet and the Golden Bear,

mill? 'tho history ol the banklnl
houso of Smith, Payne, and Smith!
o, good deal oi information has latelv
been forthcoming, thanks to the ln-
dustq. of Mr. H T. Easton. The ilrm
is remarkable as being until lately
me oldost of its kind in the United
Kingdom. and as ltslllll ll th* _PGY-
aona of one ihinily carried on business
for over two hundred years. The
bank were » -
1775, at Hull in 1784, and at New-
ark in 1688, the latter tha date oi
the Nottingham enterr.rise.s The Lon-
don busincss was partly attributable
to Samuel Smith, o, grandson ot
Thomas Smith, who was a goldsmith
in Wood street. As his brothers
business in Nottingham wus KYOWUIK
in importance, a London bank was
resolved upon-truly a unique experi-
ment for o, provincial tlrm. It carried
on business at various places, event-
ually in Lombard street, and finally
and for long years close against the
Mansion House. ~
In the “thirtles”,this bank kept
the accounts of some oi the biggest
nrms in the city, and it apparently
also had the patronage oi publish-
ers, for gore is a record oi a
cheque dre. bv Messrs. Longmans,
Green & Co. for £10,000 in favor oi
Lord Macaulay fur his "History of
England." A couple ot other inter-
esting cheques were those drawnby
Sir H. M. Stanley in Central Africa,
for which he received payment from
Arab traders, and, oddly enough. one
ofthe cheques was paid through _the
Union Bank oi London, with which
Messrs. Smith. Payne &= Smiths were
ultimately to be idontliied- `
It is worth observing that while
the process of amalgamation neces-
sarily msans to some extent the
ovexshadewing of famous names, yet
the conditions which have been ob-
served by the Unisn~Ba.nk‘and its
copartners, ii the term may be per-
mitted, are calculated in no lnconsid-
erabla degree to keep them alive. A
leading feature is the maintenance oi
a system oi local Directors, which
meets the objection that this kind
ol combination necessarily involves
the centralization oi banking in Lom-
bard Street and its vicinity.-Lon-
