Om denne e-bog
A plain City merchant is drawn into a company promoted by men with foreign names and excellent manners, and the fraud is described with a precision that got Belloc into a good deal of trouble. The first of his political satires, and the one where his contempt for the financial press is undisguised. This edition is bound with a gallery of 14 plates, among them paintings by William Logsdail, Gustave Doré and Christopher Williams, alongside 31 illustrations restored and coloured.
