註釋

Much more than an anecdotal account of the evolution of the UK's banking network, this is a unique and comprehensive work of first-hand research painstakeingly compiled over a number of years. It charts the growth of rural and country town banks from the seizure of the post roads by the government at the end of the 17th century, transforming trade and communication between London and the rest of the country. It offers a fascinating examination of the people who founded the country banks and of their ancestors. The majority of those who succeeded the founders of many of these banks were related to each other, creating a national grid of family connections and power. Presented as a case bound two volume set within a slip case. Volume one is a commentary on the growth of rural banks. Volume two is a complete record of the founders of these banks, their successors and a detailed account of how the merging of the various institutions led to the creation of many of the major financial institutions we know today.
