About this title

Synopsis

A Handbook Of London Bankers lays bare the people and patterns behind the City's ascendancy. A vivid ledger of banking. G. Hilton Price's meticulous register traces the profession back to the early goldsmith bankers who kept the first private deposits and bills of exchange, and compiles names and dates from 1670, noting the earliest printed lists of 1677, through the London Post Office Directory of 1890. Part directory and part social history, it charts the evolution of london banks across two turbulent centuries: the growth of partnership, the emergence of banking families in England, and the incremental professionalisation that underpinned modern commerce. More than a catalogue, Price's handbook functions as a trenchant historical banking reference and a living document of british financial history. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Researchers of economic history will find a primary resource for tracing firm connections, while collectors of rare finance books and curators assembling a classic banking history collection will prize its authority and provenance. Accessible to curious readers yet rigorous enough for scholars, the handbook illuminates victorian era london and the networks that created 17th century british banks, offering practical leads for genealogists, archivists and historians. It sits comfortably alongside the london post office directory and other contemporaneous sources, supplying the factual backbone that supports new narratives of how London became the pre-eminent financial centre. For casual readers of commercial history, for researchers of economic history, and for collectors assembling a focused library of finance and banking, Price's work remains indispensable. It serves as an essential companion for the history of london banking, its structured lists and careful chronology offering a direct route into archival research and newspaper notices. Scholars and amateur historians alike will value the clarity of its entries when tracing the fortunes of banking families in England and the incremental steps that shaped modern finance.
