  1. Mortimer, Thomas [Author]

    Everyman his own broker: or, A guide to exchange-alley : In which the nature of the several funds, vulgarly called the stocks, is clearly explained, and accurate computations are formed of the average value of East India stock for several years, from the current year. The mystery and iniquity of stock-jobbing is laid before the public, in a new and impartial light. The method of transferring stock, and of buying and selling the several government securities, without the assistance of a broker, is made intelligible to the meanest capacity; and an account is given of the laws of force relative to brokers, clerks at the bank, &c. With directions how to avoid the losses that are frequently sustained by the destruction of bank notes, India bonds, &c. by fire, and other accidents. Also, an historical account of the origin, progress, and present state of public credit, of the national debt, both principal and interst, of banking, and of the sinking-fund; with advice to adventures in the state-lotteries. To which is added, a supplement, containing rules for forming a judgement of the real causes of the rise or fall of the stocks; and several useful tables. The tenth edition, considerably improved. By Thomas Mortimer, Esq. author of the Elements of commerce, politics, and finances
