Description

"The correspondence from Greg & Cunningham, the most successful Irish-American trading firm of the colonial period, forms a remarkable archive for economic historians of the eighteenth century." "This is an edition of a letterbook that contains the first nine months of correspondence from this New York trading house. The letters to commercial contacts throughout the North Atlantic region offer a vivid picture of the transatlantic economy. And the private communications of Waddell Cunningham to his partner, Thomas Greg in Belfast, allow a rare behind-the-scenes look at the management and operation of an overseas merchant house."--BOOK JACKET.
