He remarks on the fact that hardly any country has been till now " exempt for long periods both from revolution and in- vasion. " He suggests that the absence of security from foreign war had prevented both Holland and Germany from developing deposit banking. He notes that after the war of 1870 European reserves went to London, and Paris ceased to be a European settling- house. He congratulates London on becom- ing thereby the sole great settling-house of exchange transactions in Europe. He re-... marks that the supremacy of Paris " partly arose from a distribution of political power which was already disturbed. '" " But, " he goes on to say, " tliat of London depends on 124 THE GERMAN SYSTEM the regular course ot commerce which is singularly stable and hard to change. " It will be seen from this passage that whereas Bagehot recognises national securit}/ as a factor in continental banking, he puts down the pre-eminence of English banking to the regular course of commerce. Without reason assigned he makes England an excep- tion to the general rule.
