"This is undoubtedly an important piece of work. It brings together a wide range of archival data and secondary material (in both English and German) to provide an innovative and incisive analysis of the role of nationalized German-born merchants in London between the mid-seventeenth century and the end of the Napoleonic Wars....[It] represents an important contribution to existing scholarship relating to the rise of British trading interests and the development of London as the focal point for international trade, commerce, and banking." · Robert Lee, University of Liverpool "Without question, Margrit Schulte Beerbühl's work is a pathbreaking contribution to the study of international (or transnational) merchant networks." · Andreas Fahrmeir, Goethe University "This is an extremely important book...It helps us to reinterpret British economic growth and trade...gives a deep rooting to those interested in the migration of those with middle class backgrounds to Britain today...points to the longevity and the fundamental importance of migration in British history...[and] is also a highly original contribution to the history of naturalization in Britain." · Panikos Panayi, De Montfort University, "This is undoubtedly an important piece of work.
