Аннотация:This article deals with Huth & Co.'s activities in Chile during the 1820s-1850s.Huth was the only London merchant-banker that decided to go global before 1850, and also the only one to open a branch in Chile.The analysis of how his branches operated should take this into account, yet Huth's activities in Chile have only previously been examined using a bilateral approach to examine the economic relations between Chile and Britain.This situation was mainly due to the fact that the richest collection of primary material on Huth & Co. (the Huth papers at University College London) had been ignored by scholars working on Anglo-Chilean economic relations during the fi rst half of the nineteenth-century.
