Abstract

The institution of Thompson and company is not one that historians of finance and commerce will have come across. The institution and its partners have been briefly touched upon, but only as part of literary studies aimed at contextualising the works of the poet and politician Andrew Marvell, who was a friend and distant relative of two of the partners. As a bank and as a mercantile venture Thompson and Company has somewhat slipped the net of the historical record. Chapter 1 therefore introduces Thompson and Company and outlines the ways in which the institution and the lives and careers of its four partners can inform our understanding of the broader social, political, commercial, and economic atmosphere in which it existed.
