The Financial System in Nineteenth-Century Britain
Another old textbook from uni I dug up and thought I'd give a re-read. No idea why 1870 was chosen as the cutoff point... 1867, 1868, 1871 or 1873 are all far more significant years as far as the mid-Victorian era goes. Still, it's pretty informative and impressive in breadth if not in depth, not only for the bilbiography but particularly for the compendium of tables, graphs, timelines, etc that make up the appendices.
