Excerpt from The Money Market Trade is, of course, the foundation Of, and reason for, the need Of money; and trade commenced with the first division Of labour. With the earliest men one was more fitted for one thing and one for another; one was a hunter and one a husbandman.

As a reminder Of bygone times there is, in the Royal Exchange, a picture Of the Phoenicians trading with the men Of Cornwall fine cloth for tin and skins.
