Mortimer, Thomas [1730-1810]. Every Man His Own Broker: or A Guide to Exchange Alley. London: Printed for G.G.J. and J. Robinson, 1782. Revised and Enlarged. xxviii, 145 pp. pp. Engraved fold-out "Table of Equation." Octavo (6-7/8" x 4-1/8"). Contemporary sheep skin cover. Ninth Edition. "Considerably Improved." This popular guide was first published in 1761 and was later translated into German, Dutch, French and Italian As his lengthy sub-title title suggests, Mortimer was critical of brokers and hostile toward speculators and jobbers. However, his detailed advice offers a good account of stock trading in the late eighteenth century. From the Collection of John Herzog.
