Excerpt from A History of Banks for Savings in Great Britain and Ireland: Including a Full Account of the Origin and Progress of Mr. Gladstone's Financial Measures for Post Office Banks, Government Annuities, and Government Life Insurance Great pains have also been taken to ensure perfect accuracy, both as to facts and figures, and my acknowledgments are due to many gentlemen who are acquainted with the subject in all its bearings, who sent me information, or answered my inquiries, with great readiness and cordiality. It is less neces sary to mention any of these gentlemen in this place, inasmuch as reference is frequently made to their assistance at the proper place in the body of this work; but it would be wrong to omit to state that, with regard to Mr. Gladstone's recent measures, I have had every facility granted me by the Post Office authorities for obtaining the necessary and the most recent information respecting these schemes, and that this assistance has been rendered in a manner which calls for my heartiest thanks, as the only sufficient or fitting acknowledgment. Dealing as I have done with what Mr. Carlyle will allow to be one of the side sources of his tory, I venture to hope that some of the facts now gathered together may not be without their interest to the student of human progress in some of its highest aspects while to all those who are directly concerned in such schemes, and to masters of workmen, to whom the concluding parts especially are more particularly addressed, this volume is offered, with some confidence that they will find much new and original matter in it, and some old matter put in a new light.
