The Authorized Version: The Recent Installment in the History of the Bank of England
This book is a worthy successor to those commissioned by the Bank of England that cover its history from its foundation in 1694. It is written by an expert, is thoroughly researched, and provides a wealth of evidence to support the judicious conclusions that are drawn. The discussion ranges from the highly technical to the narrative, indicating the command that Harold James has over his subject. For the period it covers it will become the authori…
Boardroom Scandal: The Criminalization of Company Fraud in Nineteenth–Century Britain, by James Taylor
This book by James Taylor is an excellent example of an emerging approach to the study of the past that could be called forensic history, through reverting to the original meaning of the word ‘forensic’. Instead of relying upon the speeches of politicians, the diaries of the famous, the correspondence of the literate and the opinions of novelists, this branch of history tests the evidence as presented in courts of law, case-by-case, and uses that…

The City of London as a Centre for International Banking: The Asian Dimension in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries1
This chapter identifies the City of London as occupying a place at the very centre of international banking over the space of two centuries. London’s success is seen to rest on the combination of a highly successful money market cluster and a network that linked it to banks from around the world. Initially, preferential access to this market only allowed British overseas banks to expand successfully overseas from the mid-19th century onwards. How…

The City of London as an International Commercial and Financial Center since 1900
The relative importance of financial services in national economies varied over the course of the twentieth century. Rajan and Zingales note that “by most measures, countries were more financially developed in 1913 than in 1980 and only recently have they surpassed their 1913 levels” and that “indicators of financial development fell in all countries after 1929, reaching their nadir around 1980. Since then has been a revival of financial markets.…

Insiders, Outsiders and the Dynamics of Change in the City of London since 1900
the great strength of the City is based on the fact that we've always welcomed newcomers.

I say, well, what would you have said in the 19th century with the Rothschilds, the Barings and the Schroders and the Samuel Montagues they were all European families who came over here and built up immensely successful City…

The north-east of Scotland1 never experienced an industrial revolution but it did undergo such substantial change in the course of the nineteenth century that its economic structure was altered fundamentally. New manufacturing industries did appear from the 1790s, such as cotton textiles, but they were not to be the basis of the region's prosperity, and many had ceased to be of significance by the mid-nineteenth century.
