Founders of Canadian Banking: The Hon. John Richardson, Merchant, Financier and Statesman
|
| Abstract |
A biographical sketch of the Scottish-born John Richardson (c. 1754-1831), a leading Montreal merchant who was a partner in Forsyth, Richardson and Company, a member of the North West Company, and a member of the first Assembly in Lower Canada. In 1817, nine merchants, including Richardson, signed articles of association and invited stock subscriptions to form the Bank of Montreal, the first permanent bank in British North America and the progenitor of Canada's chartered banking system. He was also a director of the Montreal Savings Bank.
