Lloyds Bank in the History of English Banking by Sayers R S

The bank was established as Taylor and Lloyd in 1765 and renamed Lloyds and Company in 1853. With the amalgamation of Moilliet and Sons in 1865, the firm was incorporated as Lloyds Banking Company Ltd., a joint-stock company. It adopted the name Lloyds Bank Ltd. in 1889.

From 1865 to 1923 the bank absorbed more than 50 other banks. In 1971 Lloyds Bank acquired practically all the stock of BOLSA International Bank, Ltd., creating Lloyds and BOLSA International Bank, Ltd. BOLSA (Bank of London and South America) had been formed in 1923 with the merger of two Latin American banks. BOLSA acquired the business of the Anglo–South American Bank in 1936, giving it interests in France, Spain, and Portugal as well as in most Latin American countries. During the next few years Lloyds further expanded its geographic base: by 1978 it had offices and subsidiaries in 43 countries, providing banking and financial services throughout the world. In 1995 Lloyds merged with the Trustee Savings Bank (TSB) to create Lloyds TSB Group PLC. In January 2009 Lloyds completed a takeover of Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) PLC, creating Lloyds Banking Group (LBG). The new banking giant was Britain’s largest mortgage lender.

Forrestal Diaries by Walter Millis, First Edition

James Vincent Forrestal (1892-1949) was the last Cabinet-level United States Secretary of the Navy and the first United States Secretary of Defense. These fascinating diaries begin in 1944 shortly after James Forrestal became Secretary of the Navy, and end with his resignation in March 1949 as America’s first Secretary of Defense. Blunt and forceful, Forrestal reveals the American strategy that he helped shape with verve. Expertly edited by seasoned historian Walter Millis, the American high command as is seen in a rare light as the Second World War finishes and the Cold War begins and gathers pace.

Keshub Chunder Sen's English visit;
1871
by Sen, Keshub Chunder, 1838-1884; Collet, Sophia Dobson, ed

Keshab Chandra Sen (1838–84) was a prominent social and religious reformer in Kol- kata. In 1857, he joined the Brahmo Samaj, which was known for its emphasis on the scriptural texts, the Upanis ̣ads, and the concomitant rejection of popular expressions of Hinduism, such as image worship.
After "an open break with its founder Debendranath Tagore" over Christian practices in Brahmoism, he was forced to leave the Brahma Samaj in November 1865.
