Seller's Description:
Very Good. 8vo. viii, 286pp, sources, bw ills. Card covers. Near new. Benjamin Boyd founded a bank in NSW in the 1840s and used its funds to finance his own huge pastoral, whaling and shipping empire-the biggest in Australia-and rode its slide to bankruptcy unknown to his shareholders in England and Scotland. Inquiries in England credited Boyd with a shortfall of 740000 ponds-an immense sum in those times.
