Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a statistical and historical overview of British banking from 1844, when Sir Robert Peel passed the Banking Acts, to 1875. The author collates data from bank balance sheets produced in the period and combines this with insights from earlier studies on banking by figures such as John Newmarch and Robert Giffen. The book provides a detailed analysis of the banking sector, categorised by specialised operations like banking issues, non-legal tender notes, the uncalled capital of limited liability companies, and reserve funds. The author discusses how the development of the sector was influenced by legislation and traces the rise of a two-tier banking system in Britain. The book is a valuable contribution to the economic history of banking, and offers insights into a period when the foundations of the modern banking system were taking shape.
