Preface

Everybody's Guide to Money Matters

With a description of the various
investments chiefly dealt in on the stock
exchange, and the mode of dealing therein,

also

Some account of the pitfalls prepared for the
unwary, and suggestions to the cautious investor.

by

William Cotton, F.S.A.

Late treasurer of the county of Devon,
author of
"An Elizabethan Guild,"
"Gleanings from Records,"
"The Bank Manager,"
etc.

Originator of the postal order system.

London 1898.

THE Author, emboldened by a Banking experience of over forty years, offers this little work to the public in the hope that, elementary though it be, it may prove acceptable to many persons of both sexes.

The work has been prepared chiefly for the use of women, a vast proportion of whom are brought up in utter ignorance of money matters in the simplest form, though otherwise they may be highly accomplished.

The subject, it must be allowed, is not a fascinating one, but there are periods in the lives of most persons when some knowledge of money matters may be useful and even necessary.
