Organisational flexibility and governance in a civil-law regime: Scottish partnership banks during the Industrial Revolution
Unlike their English counterparts, Scottish partnership banks during the Industrial Revolution operated under partnership law which was similar to the French societe en commandite. The article suggests that the definitive feature of this partnership law was that it permitted partnerships to separate ownership from control and stock to be traded. Archival evidence also suggests that Scottish partnership banks had mechanisms to ameliorate potential…
The rate of return on equity across industrial sectors on the British stock market, 1825-701: Rate of Return on Equity
This article assesses the contribution of the various industrial sectors to the growth of the British equity market in the 1825–70 period.

Walter Bagehot warned that their shares would ultimately be owned by widows, orphans, and other impecunious individuals. Another hypothesis is that the governing bodies of these banks, constrained by special legal restrictions on share trading, acted effectively to prevent such shares being tra…
