About this ebook:
Excerpt from A Hundred Years of Merchant Banking: A History of Brown Brothers and Company Brown, Shipley Company Nand the Allied Firms This book owes its origin to a request by my wife that I should write for the information of my sons and my partners the history of the firm with which I have been connected for nearly fifty years, and of which I have been a partner for forty-six. When my attention was called seriously to the subject I realized that there was no one but myself living, who, either from personal knowledge or association with those who knew, could undertake the task. I have a distinct recollection of every important member of the firm, except my grandfather. Of the forty-seven partners in all the firms, including the Baltimore house, I have known all but five, i. e., my grandfather, Alexander Brown, the founder of the firm, Messrs. Frodsham and Priestman, unimportant members of the Liverpool house, Mr. Perry in Baltimore, and Johnston McLanahan in Philadelphia. Of the thirty-four members of the New York, Philadelphia, and English firms, twenty-seven have been my partners, and of the thirteen partners of Alexander Brown Sons, Baltimore, I have been closely associated in business with eight, two of whom were also my partners.
