Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the City of Money written by Ray Perman and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It started and ended with a financial catastrophe. The Darien disaster of 1700 drove Scotland into union with England, but spawned the institutions which transformed Edinburgh into a global financial centre. The crash of 2008 wrecked the city's two largest and oldest banks – and its reputation. In the three intervening centuries, Edinburgh became a hothouse of financial innovation, prudent banking, reliable insurance and smart investing. The face of the city changed too as money transformed it from medieval squalor to Georgian elegance. This is the story, not just of the institutions which were respected worldwide, but of the personalities too, such as the two hard-drinking Presbyterian ministers who founded the first actuarially-based pension fund; Sir Walter Scott, who faced financial ruin, but wrote his way out of it; the men who financed American railways and eastern rubber plantations with Scottish money; and Fred Goodwin, notorious CEO of RBS, who took the bank to be the biggest in the world, but crashed and burned in 2008.

Download or read book Frolics in the Face of Europe written by Iain Gordon Brown and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • The first evaluation for many years of Scott as a traveller, and the first ever single treatment of all his Continental travels • Detailed discussion of his late-in-life venture to the Mediterranean in 1831-1832, drawing on fresh source material and re-evaluating evidence for his time in Naples and Rome in a new light • Deals as much with those trips dreamed of and planned – but not accomplished – as with those actually achieved: projected journeys to Spain and Portugal, Germany and Switzerland • Profusely illustrated with some unpublished colour and mono photographs from the author’s and other private collections Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) wrote frequently of his desire to travel widely in Europe. He made, however, only three Continental ventures. Two were to Belgium and Paris. Shortly before his death, he at last journeyed to the Mediterranean. His time in Naples and Rome provoked both interest and sadness: most of all, it caused him to reflect on the Scotland of his mind and heart. These trips are full of interest – but so are the many other schemes Scott entertained for wider travelling, notably to Spain and Portugal, Switzerland and Germany. In Frolics in the Face of Europe: Sir Walter Scott, Continental Travel and the Tradition of the Grand Tour, all are examined in the context of the Grand Tour tradition, and in the new kind of ‘romantic’ travel that, after 1815, came to replace it. By drawing on Scott’s letters and journal, on his verse, prose fiction and the literature of travel, which gave him such a wide knowledge of the world without even leaving his library at Abbotsford, many social, literary and artistic connections are made. Events, places and personalities are linked, often in surprising ways. This book offers a fresh view of Scott as the 250th anniversary of his birth approaches.
