项目摘要

The Grandfather Edward Gibbon, whose grandson was a famous historian Edward Gibbon, the author of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, has been known as one of the infamous derectors of the SouthSea Company when the South-Sea Bubble bursted in 1720. After the Bubble, the Grandfather was punished and fined nearly *100,000 by the act of the Parliament, and retired to his residence at Putney.By June of 1692, the Grandfather was under the service of British Artillery Train in Flanders as a post of Paymaster of the Train. After staying for some years in the Continent, he came home and came to be one of the dominant army contractors and one of the great creditors. Furthermore, from 1710 he ventured to remit money : to send money with exchange bills to British Forces abroad on the behalf of the Government. During the King William War and for the early years of the Spanish Succession War, the remittances were conducted by the hand of Henry Furnese, and after 1710 they were handed over the several remitters among whom there were John Lambert, Theodore Janssen, and Richard Hoare as well as Edward Gibbon.Remitting activities were profitable, made him rich, and promised him jobs and offices through the connections with high government officials and political leaders. As for the Historian Edward Gibbon, I'm sure, his idea of trade and commerce in his History was influenced by the rise and fall of the Grandfather's trade.

祖父爱德华·吉尔的孙子是著名的历史学家爱德华·吉尔，《罗马帝国衰亡史》的作者，在1720年南海泡沫破裂时，他被认为是南海公司臭名昭著的董事之一。泡沫之后，祖父受到了议会的惩罚，被罚款近10万英镑，并退休到他在普特尼的住所。到1692年6月，祖父在弗兰德斯的英国炮兵训练队服役，担任火车的出纳员。在欧洲大陆呆了几年后，他回到了家乡，成为了主要的军事承包商之一，也是最大的债权人之一。此外，从1710年起，他开始尝试汇款：代表政府将钱与汇票一起汇给海外的英国军队。在威廉国王战争期间和西班牙王位继承战争的早期，汇款由亨利塞经手，1710年后，汇款交给了几个汇款人，其中有约翰兰伯特，西奥多詹森，理查德霍尔和爱德华吉尔。汇款活动有利可图，使他富有，并通过与高级政府官员和政治领导人的联系，向他承诺工作和办公室。至于历史学家爱德华·吉尔，我敢肯定，他在《历史》中对贸易和商业的看法受到了祖父贸易兴衰的影响。
