Though the majority of merchant bankers remained cautious in their affairs, Huth \u0026amp; Co established an impressive global network of trade and lending, dealing with over 6,000 correspondents in more than seventy countries. Based on archival research, this comparative study provides a new chronology of early nineteenth-century commercial and financial expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuth \u0026amp; Co. were truly market-makers and key intermediaries of commodities and capital flows in the international economy.
