228 ADDRESS TO INSTITUTE OF BANKERS. [lect. vii. 



to me. I remember one of our country friends, dis- 

 turbed, I suppose, at the moment of writing, drew a bill 

 on us once for 180 years, instead of, no doubt, for £180. 

 I wish that by any reasonable expenditure on our parts, 

 that we could have secured such a term of life to 

 him. But I fear if I continue to enlarge on the theme 

 which I have selected, tempting and inexhaustible as it 

 is, you may be driven to organize a " run." To prevent 

 so unpleasant a result, I will now conclude ; thanking 

 you once more for the great honour conferred on me in 

 electing me as the first President of the Institute of 

 Bankers. 



THE END.
