GILBART, JAMES WILLIAM (1794-1863) , English writer on banking, was born in London on the 21st of
March
  1794. From
1813 to 1825 he was clerk in a London bank. After a two years' residence in
Birmingham
 , he was appointed manager of the Kilkenny branch of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, and in 1829 he was promoted to the
Waterford
  branch. In 1834 he became manager of the London and Westminster Bank; and he did much to develop the
system
  of
joint
 -stock banking. On more than one occasion he rendered valuable services to the
joint
 -stock banks by his evidence before committees of the
House
  of Commons; and, . on the renewal of the bank charter in 1844, he procured the insertion of a clause granting to joint-stock banks the power of suing by their public officer, and also the right of accepting bills at less than six months' date. In 1846 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He died in London on the 8th of August 1863. The Gilbart lectures on banking at King's College are called after him.
The following are his
principal
  works on banking, most of which have passed through more than one edition:
Practical
  Treatise on Banking (1827) ; The History and Principles of Banking (1834); The History of Banking in America (1837) ; Lectures on the History and Principles of Ancient Commerce (1847); Logic for the Million (1851); and Logic of Banking (1857).
