The Life of Thomas Coutts: Banker V2 is a biography written by Ernest Hartley Coleridge and first published in 1920. The book tells the story of Thomas Coutts, a prominent banker in 18th and 19th century England. Coutts was born into a modest family in Scotland in 1735 and began his career as a clerk in a bank in Edinburgh. He eventually moved to London and established his own bank, which became one of the most successful and respected financial institutions of its time. The book explores Coutts' personal and professional life, including his marriage to actress Harriot Mellon, his relationships with other prominent figures of the time, and his philanthropic endeavors. Through extensive research and access to previously unpublished documents, Coleridge provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of Coutts as a man and a banker. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of banking and finance in England, as well as the social and cultural milieu of the 18th and 19th centuries.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
