Using the extensive Morrison archive, Caroline Dakers presents the first substantial biography of the richest commoner in England, recounting the details of Morrison's personal life while also placing him in the Victorian age of enterprise that made his success possible. An affectionate husband and father of ten, Morrison made his first fortune in textiles, then a second in international finance. He invested in North American railways, was involved in global trade from Canton to Valparaiso, created hundreds of jobs, and relished the challenges of "the science of business". His success enabled him to acquire land, houses, and works of art on a scale to rival the grandest of aristocrats. 606 $aBusinessmen$zGreat Britain$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBusinessmen 676 $a338.092 676 $aB 700 $aDakers$b Caroline$01023057 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462147303321 996 $aA genius for money$92442769 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01819nam 2200517I 450 001 9910705381403321 005 20260430110454.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002449560 035 $a(OCoLC)878117392 035 $a(DGPO)000924936 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002449560 100 $a20140425d1985 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBehavior of the lean methane-air flame at zero-gravity /$fby Kurt A.
