1818 Annals of Banks for Savings

Description

First Edition, Rebound, Very Scarce

The first edition of this very scarce work.

Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet, was a notorious proponent of universal male suffrage, equal electoral districts, vote by ballot, and annual parliaments, viewed to be the premier national figure of the radical reform movement.

This work presents a history of savings banks, describing the particulars of the 'earliest institutions', and 'every detail connected with their management under the late act of parliament'.

Rebound in paper wraps. Faint ink inscription to front wrap head.

Lacking the errata leaf, which should precede the body of the text.

"Together with reports and communications from more than sixty institutions in Great Britain and Ireland."
