"Publication of this volume has been assisted by generous sponsorship from The British Linen Bank and its parent, Bank of Scotland.  Founded by Royal Charter in 1746 as The British Linen Company, it gradually evolved into a financier of the linen trade, and in the late eighteenth century, into a fully-fledged bank."--Acknowledgement.
