Publisher Description: This is a completely revised and updated version of this book, originally published by the Social Affairs Unit in London in 2009. These volumes comprise a unique and original work which provides comprehensive biographical information on all 884 persons who left personal estates of 100,000 or more in Britain from 1809, when these sources begin in a usable form. 100,000 is the equivalent of about 10 million today.
This work by Professor William D. Rubinstein, the leading academic expert on wealth-holding in Britain over the past two centuries, comprises a series of volumes which will provide similar information on all persons leaving 100,000 or more down to 1914.
For every person included, accurate information is given about his or her occupation or source of wealth, parentage and family background, education, marriage, children, and heirs, religion, political involvement, and land ownership. |
