The Stock Exchanges of Ireland traces the evolution of the markets
which have operated in Ireland from their emergence (Dublin at the
end of the eighteenth century, and later Belfast and Cork in the
nineteenth) to the mid-1980s when this book was published. It
starts with the historical circumstances - the beginnings of the
Irish National Debt in the mid-eighteenth century and the problems
of government borrowing in time of peace and war - which preceded
the formation, in 1799, of the Dublin Stock Exchange. Later
chapters examine many aspects of the market's development during
the nineteenth century: changes in its practices and customs; the
origins of some of the oldest surviving broking firms; the
important trade in government securities between London and Dublin;
the Irish railways; and the formation of joint stock companies in
Ireland. Finally, the role of the Stock Exchange in the finance of
government and industry since Irish independence is fully covered.
Throughout, The Stock Exchanges of Ireland is soundly based on the
surviving records (to which the author was granted full access) of
the three Irish markets - Dublin, Cork and Belfast. Important new
material was also obtained from the Irish Record Office, the
National Library of Ireland, the archives of the Bank of Ireland
and the Record Office of the Bank of England. The book makes a
comprehensive and significant contribution to Irish and financial
history, and will prove an essential work of reference. It is also
a lively, readable account of growth, change and development in the
Irish markets, which should interest all concerned with banking,
finance, investment and stockbroking. Among W. A. Thomas's other
publications on the history of financial institutions are The Stock
Exchange: Its History and Functions (with E. Victor Morgan) (1962),
The Provincial Stock Exchanges (1973) and The Finance of British
Industry 1918-1966 (1980) .
