The "forgotten majority" of German merchants in London between the
end of the Hanseatic League and the end of the Napoleonic Wars
became the largest mercantile Christian immigrant group in the
eighteenth century. Using previously neglected and little used
evidence, this book assesses the causes of their migration, the
establishment of their businesses in the capital, and the global
reach of the enterprises. As the acquisition of British nationality
was the admission ticket to Britain's commercial empire, it
investigates the commercial function of British naturalization
policy in the early modern period, while also considering the risks
of failure and chance for a new beginning in a foreign environment.
As more German merchants integrated into British commercial
society, they contributed to London becoming the leading place of
exchange between the European continent, Russia, and the New World.
