THE BANKERS' MAGAZINE.

This really useful and ably edited manual for—not
jone the "Bankers," but—for the whole monetary, com-
mercial, and trading interests of this country, continues
to maintain its high reputation. There is a curious de-
tail in the opening paper, of " Frauds with Policies of
Assurance," which we need scarcely commend to the
Nest attention of those institutions that trade upon the
'probabilities of human life."
