First edition, first printing. xiv, 276pp, with colour plate frontispiece, black and white plate illustrations interleaved in text, maps on endpapers. Green cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on red relief on the spine. 8vo. Cloth slightly rubbed at corners and a little bruised at spine ends else neat, clean and tight throughout.

More than a corporate history of the Bank of British West Africa, this study amounts to a history banking and its interplay with economics in Nigeria, Sierra Leone and the rest of West Africa from the late 19th century to the tail end of the 20th century.
