Notes:
Deals with the neglected history of these three companies in the 18th century, notably 1714-63, to find them dynamic in terms of use of financial services and the involvement of their merchant members in wider business interests. Explores their business operations, performance and political connections, notably their political lobbying to preserve their monopoly rights
