Canadian Banking Journal
Canadian Bankers' Association. JOURNAL OF THE CANADIAN BANKERS' ASSOCIATION / CANADIAN BANKER. Volumes I–CII (1893–1995), complete for the period covered. Varying formats (8vo and 4to), the set is bound in several styles through the 1980 volume: most of the first 49 volumes are attractively bound in half calf with five raised spine bands; most of the remaining volumes are bound in cloth, with most volumes after Volume 84 in their original paper covers. A handful of the bindings are defective, but most are sound and in nice condition. Bound indices for Volumes 1–30 and 31–71 included, as well as original indices for Volumes 72–84. Overall condition of the set is very good to fine. A nearly complete run of this very scarce publication, being the first 102 volumes published. The Canadian Bankers' Association was founded in Montreal on December 17, 1891. The first issue of the Journal of the Canadian Bankers' Association was published in September 1894. In 1936, the name of the journal was changed to the Canadian Banker, under which name it was published until 2000, at which time it ceased publication. A number of articles of numismatic interest were published in its pages over the years, including many works by Adam Shortt on Canadian currency and banking. Significant runs are rarely encountered, and this would appear to be one of only a few essentially complete sets known (the final volumes should be relatively easy to fill in). Ex Charles Moore Library (David Sklow Sale 16, lot 340); ex William A. Burd Library.
