Edward Lloyd Stewart Patterson (1869- 1932) was a Canadian author. He was Superintendent of Eastern Township Branches, Canadian Bank of Commerce. His works include Banking Principles and Practice (1917). "It would be impossible within the narrow confines of one volume to deal exhaustively with so extensive a subject as that of Canadian banking practice, but it is hoped that the parts of this subject dealt with herein will be found to be treated with due regard to their relative importance, and that no really essential information has been overlooked.
