This book presents a detailed examination of parliamentary hearings on the crises which gripped England's banking and credit systems in 1847. These hearings, held in the House of Lords, featured testimony and dialogue from prominent bankers, economists, and other experts of the day including James Morris and Henry James Prescott, Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England respectively. The book delves into topics such as the impact of the 1844 Banking Act, the causes and consequences of the financial crises, the Bank of England's management of its reserves, and the role of provincial banks in the crises. Through the lens of these discussions, the book provides insights into the historical and theoretical contexts of banking, credit, and financial stability, making it a valuable resource for researchers and anyone interested in the history of finance.
