The rise of the London money market 1640-1826

The rise of the London money market 1640-1826 - is an English translation of Willem Roosegaarde Bisschop’s book, which was published in 1910. The book The rise of the London money market 1640-1826, by Willem Roosegaarde Bisschop, first translated into English, first appeared in the Dutch original in The Hague in 1896. Those who have studied the history of English banking are well aware that the particular chapter of this history attacked by Dr. Bisschop is the darkest and most difficult of all, and has scarcely been attempted by previous writers. Every historian felt compelled to tell the origins of the English depository banking system, and consequently every story has something to say about Goldsmith's bankers. But it is surprising how little we know about the cases these people were involved in, and the very date when they began their activities is still unknown.
