Guide to the Unprotected in Every-day Matters Relating to Property and Income by a Banker’s Daughter (1891)
£100.00[GALTON, Emma Sophia] (1811-1904). Guide to the Unprotected in Every-day Matters Relating to Property and Income by a Banker’s Daughter. 8vo. London: Macmillan and Co., 1891. Chapters include: Investments, Money Transactions with Bankers, The Funds and Learning Securities, Shares Loans, and Mortgages, House Property, Keeping Accounts, and Technical Terms Used In Business. In the rear of the book there is contained “Opinions of the Press” which state: “How am I to draw a Cheque? How should I write to my Banker to send me some money? I want to sell out to stocks; what must I do? How am I to get Power of Attorney? These, says the ‘ Banker’s Daughter’ are one or two of the numberless questions often put to her by her friends, for the most part young widows and single ladies. Simple as they are, there are thousands who would be glad of answers to them and to all such the ‘GUIDE TO THE UNPROTECTED’ is certain to be welcome”. PROVENANCE: Occasional underlining in the text. A fascinating and scarce book. In the BBC’s 2016 Money Box Programme the book was discussed and appraised against modern advice and classified as probably the first guide of its kind, specifically aimed at women. Please note the advice given within this book is of its time (Victorian) and may have changed.
