This study traces the history of the law of bills and notes in
England from medieval times to the period in the late eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries when bills played a central role in
the domestic and international financial system. It challenges the
traditional theory that English commercial law developed by
incorporation of the concept of negotiability and other rules from
an ancient body of customary law known as the law merchant. Rogers
shows that the law of bills was developed within the common law
system itself, in response to changing economic and business
practices. This account draws on economic and business history to
explain how bills were actually used and to examine the
relationship between the law of bills and economic and social
controversies.
