The Cost Book: Mining Journal 1853 The Cost Book: Mining Journal 1853
(General Interest / Public / 9205Kb)

The Cost Book Company was an entity formed under Stannary Law in the counties of Cornwall and Devon. Outside of these counties a company could only be formed by Royal Letters Patent or by act of parliament prior to the Joint Stock Companies Act of 1844.
However, the cost book principle being a principle of internal management and accounting etc was universal throughout the 19th Century, even after the Limited Liability Act of 1855. This act meant that it was now easier to form a company; however its shareholders did not enjoy limited liability, as they were to find out.
Later in 1855 the Limited Liability Act rectified this, and then in 1856 a new Joint Stock Companies Act merged the 2 separate pieces of legislation.
It is important for the mining historian to bear in mind that the cost book principle did not a cost book company make!
This pdf file is created from extracts taken from the Mining Journal as a supplement to the 1853 volume 23, and was written prior to the 1855 act as there had been a lot of argument back and forth on the subject of cost book v limited liability. Letters in the Mining Journal had been a regular feature.
