Review
"No one familiar with Professor Ranald Michie's earlier work...will be surprised that he has produced a superb volume that will amost certainly be the last institutional history of the first two hundred years of the London Stock Exchange....His book is a 'must-read' for any student of British and world finance, of formal security markets, and of British economic history, and an 'almost-must-read' for anyone with a general interest in economic history....carefully drawn and thorough...a superb study...truly fascinating."--Journal of Economic History
