Excerpt from Stock Exchange Securities and How to Select Them<br><br>Institute of Bankers in Scotland, the Society of Accountants in Edinburgh, and the Institute of Accountants and Actuaries in Glasgow have arranged for several years past an annual course of lectures mainly for the instruction of the younger members on subjects connected with their practical everyday work. The subject chosen for 1904 was "Stock Exchange Securities." The following pages were delivered in the form of lectures in February last, and they are now published at the request and under the auspices of these Societies.<br><br>The fact that many of the class for whose education the course of lectures is instituted are at the beginning of their business life rendered it necessary that details of practice of little general interest should be explained, and information furnished which might seem unnecessary to the ordinary reader; while, on the other hand, the limits of time prevented anything but a superficial examination of the various classes of securities for sale on the Stock Exchange.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
