London Stock Exchange history in 1878 was dominated by the Rothschild presence – and it was white washed to prevent searching

See this 1878 history of the London Stock Exchange, founded in 1802.

The Rothschilds are a larger than life presence in their history.

Of the 30 pages of this history, there are references to “Rothschild” on 27 pages.

Curiously, Nathan Mayer (“N.M.”) Rothschild’s father Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s name is INCORRECT and substituted with a child that died at one year old.

A “Mayer Anselm Léon von Rothschild (1827-1828)” did exist, but he died a 1 year old.

Also, Moses Montefiore’s name is INCORRECT or UNIDENTIFIED, multiple times.

These entries were evidently intended to prevent or obscure searching on their names.

Note that there were two Anselems.

The other one was of little note and lived in France.
