Abstract: Abstract The institution of Thompson and Company has never been fully outlined or examined. It has therefore been incorrectly identified in previous studies and information about it has largely been taken from a pamphlet written by the partners upon their collapse, which provides little detail about the business or its day-to-day operations. Using more detailed sources, primarily Chancery court proceedings, Chapter 2 reconstructs the institution that was Thompson and Company. It outlines the identities and backgrounds of its four partners, the articles of agreement that underpinned its formation, the day-to-day operation of the bank, the geographical and occupational range of its creditors, and the economic instruments used by the partners to provide a variety of financial services for their customers. As such it provides the foundation for discussion in the following chapters.
