Jeremiah Harman

Jeremiah Harman was chief of a family known in the commercial world for nearly a century, and highly esteemed both in England and abroad. He may himself be said to have stood at the head of London city, both as to mercantile and private character; liberal in his dealings, and inspiring confidence by his honour and integrity, as well as love for his personal qualities.〔(The Gentleman's Magazine (London, England), Volume 175, 1844 )〕 As a public character Mr. Harman was known to all the ministers of the day, from William Pitt Jr downwards.
==Mercantile and Banking Career==
Harman was the principal partner of the very old standing family business, Harman and Co., which his father was also a principle partner in. The business originated with the Lisbon trade, and was in extensive transactions with Portugal at the time of the Great Lisbon earthquake of 1755. To the Russian court the house have been bankers for half a century.〔
Jeremiah was director of the Bank of England from 1794 to 1827; embracing the eventful period of the restriction of cash payments,〔(Report from the Secret Committee on the Expediency of the Bank Resuming Cash Payments 1819 )〕 and all the great financial and political difficulties of England. He was much consulted by William Pitt the Younger and Lord Liverpool〔(30 May 1839 House of Commons Sitting on the Exportation of Gold )〕 on all questions of moment; and also gave evidence of the most important character before the Bullion Committee of 1810; before the Committees on the resumption of Cash Payments, in 1819; on the Bank Charter Committee, in 1832 which formed the basis for the Bank of England's Bank Charter Act of 1833;〔 and on other investigations of similar character and importance.〔
He was Governor of the Bank of England between 1816-1818〔(The British Museum's Biographical details of Jeremiah Harman )〕 and in his first year; an addition of 25%, was made to the capital of Bankstock. Three years afterwards, in 1819, the thanks of the Court were voted to him for his share in the labours of a commission which had been appointed by the Crown for the prevention of forgery.〔
