About This Book
This 1933 survey of moneylending in Great Britain is part of a general survey of small loans prepared for the Russell Sage Foundation, the Small Loan Series of the Department of Remedial Loans. It traces the development of British moneylending by chronological periods and aims to show the devices whereby the enterprise of moneylending has adapted itself to its changing legal, economic, and social environments.
Dorothy Johnson Orchard was research assistant at the Russell Sage Foundation. Geoffrey May was a member of the Inner Temple, London.
