PRICE OF SCOTLAND (DARIEN) (PB)

Re-discover one of the most dramatic episodes in Scottish history, the ill-fated Darien Scheme. This book recounts the history of the Company of Scotland, looking at previously unexamined evidence and considering the failure considering the Company’s financial records. It offers the reader a new perspective on this key moment in history, from the attempt to raise capital in London in 1695 through to the shareholder bail-out as part of the Treaty of Union in 1707.
