RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PRESS. "So much useful matter in so small a compass is seldom to be met with * *;-that part which relates to the BANKS AND LOANS OF THE UNITED STATES is not to be found in any other work of the kind. The regulations of the Bank, and the National Debt Office, connected with the dividends, transfers, and granting of annuities, must be of the utmost utility to strangers, and all those not regularly conversant with such matters, who may not always meet with civility and attention in their personal enquiries on the subject."-Times. "A book containing much useful information.”—Globe. "Mr. Charles Fenn has published a Compendium of English and Foreign Funds, and the principal Joint Stock Companies, which contains all that we could possibly look for in such a work, and a great deal more. Much information, for example, is given concerning the formation and the character of the Joint Stock Banks of America, which must be useful at all times, and particularly now."-Courier. COMPENDIUM OF THE 54/2 ENGLISH AND FOREIGN FUNDS, AND THE PRINCIPAL JOINT STOCK COMPANIES; FORMING AN EPITOME OF THE VARIOUS OBJECTS OF INVESTMENT NEGOTIABLE IN LONDON; WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE INTERNAL DEBTS AND REVENUES OF THE FOREIGN STATES, AND TABLES FOR CALCULATING THE VALUE OF THE DIFFERENT STOCKS, &c.

IN offering a second edition of this little work to the public, it is incumbent on me to express my gratitude for the unexpected favour with which the former edition was received; I hope that by a diligent revision of the entire work, as well as by some important additions, that I have succeeded in rendering the present compilation more copious and useful than its predecessor.
