Fourth National Bank Of New York
The Fourth National Bank of New York was an American bank based in New York City. History The Fourth National Bank of New York was organized in January 1864. At the time of its organization, many, including Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, thought that "a bank of large capital should be organized under such favorable auspices as would result in demonstrating the utility of the National Banking System, and would induce banks existing under the State system to take out charters under the National Banking Act." The Fourth National Bank was founded by many of New York's most eminent citizens, including Jay Cooke. The bank first opened its doors in the "old Government building" at 29 Pine Street. In 1866, however, the bank moved to a six-story white-marble building located at the northeast corner of Nassau and Pine Streets. In 1893, the capital stock of the bank was $3,200,000; a surplus of $1,350,000; it had net profits of $378,030; and average net deposits of $20,000, ...

Banks Based In New York City
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from the public and creates a demand deposit while simultaneously making loans. Lending activities can be directly performed by the bank or indirectly through capital markets. Because banks play an important role in financial stability and the economy of a country, most jurisdictions exercise a high degree of regulation over banks. Most countries have institutionalized a system known as fractional reserve banking, under which banks hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities. In addition to other regulations intended to ensure liquidity, banks are generally subject to minimum capital requirements based on an international set of capital standards, the Basel Accords. Banking in its modern sense evolved in the fourteenth century in the prosperous cities of Renaissance Italy but in many ways functioned as a continuation of ideas and concepts of credit and lending that had their roots in the ...

Philo C
Philo of Alexandria (; grc, Φίλων, Phílōn; he, יְדִידְיָה, Yəḏīḏyāh (Jedediah); ), also called Philo Judaeus, was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, in the Roman province of Egypt. Philo's deployment of allegory to harmonize Jewish scripture, mainly the Torah, with Greek philosophy was the first documented of its kind, and thereby often misunderstood. Many critics of Philo assumed his allegorical perspective would lend credibility to the notion of legend over historicity. Philo often advocated a literal understanding of the Torah and the historicity of such described events, while at other times favoring allegorical readings. Though never properly attributed, Philo's marriage of Jewish exegesis and Stoic philosophy provided a formula later picked up by other Midrash content from the 3rd and 4th centuries. Some claimed this lack of credit or affinity for Philo by the Rabbinic leadership at the time, was due to his adoption of alle ...
