About this book

A History of Banks for Savings in Great Britain and Ireland, authored by William Lewins and first published in 1850, offers a comprehensive and meticulously researched account of the origins, development, and impact of savings banks throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. The book traces the evolution of these financial institutions from their earliest beginnings in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, highlighting the social, economic, and legislative factors that contributed to their growth. Lewins delves into the philanthropic motivations behind the establishment of savings banks, emphasizing their role in promoting thrift, self-reliance, and financial security among the working classes. Through detailed case studies, statistical data, and personal anecdotes, the author examines the challenges faced by savings banks, including issues of management, regulation, and public trust. The narrative also explores the influence of key individuals and reformers who championed the cause of accessible banking for all. By situating the history of savings banks within the broader context of social reform and economic change, Lewins provides valuable insights into the ways these institutions shaped the financial landscape of Great Britain and Ireland. The book remains an important resource for historians, economists, and anyone interested in the development of modern banking and the history of social welfare.
