This book presents a synthesis of research on the quantitative estimates of the foreign investments of Great Britain during the nineteenth century. Given the limited data available on stocks and flows of capital during the nineteenth century, the various scholars who have focused their attention on this topic have reconstructed either the balance of payments or the annual income earned overseas. Aptly covering the principal results of those who have researched the subject, Accounts of the British Empire is an important compilation of the work done in this field.
