The Early History of Banking in England (RLE Banking & Finance) [Hardcover]

This is widely acknowledged as a scholarly and well-documented study of early banking in England. It bridges gaps in the early history of English banking and deals with the operations of the pre-Bank of England bankers, the evolution of English paper money and the remarkable transactions of the early directors of the Bank of England. Although the main body of the book concentrates on the 16^thand 17^thcenturies, the volume includes a brief survey of English banking in the 18^thand early 19^thcenturies.
