Handwritten cheques before they were printed, predating The Bank of England (1694), the 1773 clearing system, Bills of Exchange Act 1882, special printed form (1717), the Oxford English Dictionary (1706) and its origin of the word "cheque". Bank of England cheque books (1856) and a Table giving chronology of the "first" cheque forms as known to collectors. |
