In Sherlock Holmes and the Bank of England, the consulting detective is called upon to solve the theft of a fortune in bonds from that impregnable institution. It is a theft that literally could have been committed by no man...and indeed it wasn t! The explanation of the crime is almost as surprising as the fact that the fortune in bonds wasn't the point of the affair at all! In the Bank of England, Its Origin and Development, Maberley Phillips, a 19th-century career man in the Bank of England and HM Treasury takes us through the amazing architecture and history of the premier institution of British finance, in war and peace, plague and panic, bank runs and swindles! A fascinating look at fortune, finance and foul play in days past!
