Book Overview

The Suffolk Bank: And Its Redemption System is a historical book written by the Suffolk National Bank in 1881. The book provides a detailed account of the Suffolk Bank, which was established in Boston in 1818 and became one of the most successful banks in the United States during the 19th century. The book explains the bank's unique redemption system, which allowed it to issue its own banknotes that were widely accepted throughout New England.
