An Old-Time Type of Merchant
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
The recent accession of the Hancock papers to The Business Historical Society collection recalls a now forgotten type of merchant once prevailing in Europe and America. He was sometimes called the merchant prince; certainly he represents the highest class of business man from at least the thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. Sometimes he operated alone; sometimes with his brothers or cousins in the form of a family partnership.
