These 480 letters that passed between the successive heads of a major London trading house and its often prestigious European clientele and suppliers paint an intriguing picture of the changing conditions of local and international markets in 17th-century Europe. The volume is enhanced by an extensive introduction that analyzes the context and course of the Marescoe-David business in each of its major markets and tabulations of valuable evidence on European shipping, insurance, and prices, illuminating a vitally important epoch in the evolution of European trade.

Editorial Reviews
Review
`On the basis of an analysis of the letters and their supporting documents, the editor has been able to present a vivid and substantial picture of the activities of an important London merchant firm during the commercial revolution of the late seventeenth century.' EHR Journal
'Professor Roseveare has used the complete Marescoe-David archive to provide a comprehensive account of the trade of Charles Marescoe and the Davids over about two hundred pages ... an informative and readable book, with the more complex areas of the text, such as the profit and loss of the companies elucidated with helpful tables. It is a book which will be of great value and well worth making the effort to use.' Andrew Spicer, Southampton University, Huguenot and Walloon Gazette, Vol. 2, No.2, Autumn 1989
'a very welcome addition to the literature in this field ... this excellently produced collection of Marescoe-David letters is an exemplary piece of scholarship, and, as editor, Roseveare has certainly put historians of London's trade in the late seventeenth century very much in his debt.' David Richardson, University of Hull, Business History, Vol. 34, No. 3, July 1992 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
