Notes:
Deals with the nature of financial information flows and interbank relations between England's two main financial centres, London and Liverpool. Uses as a case study the private daily correspondence of George Carr Glyn and Joseph Langton to shed light on the working of financial markets in the 1830s. Glyn, 1797-1873, later Lord Wolverton, was senior partner of Glyn, Halifax, Mills & Co and Langton, 1793-1855, was in 1831 newly appointed manager of the recently formed Bank of Liverpool, having previously been Bank of England agent at Liverpool
