Can this be true?[edit]

From the third paragraph of the lead:

Barely 16% of joint-stock companies weathered this tumult.^[1]

This seems to be claiming that over 5/6 of the companies in England were bankrupted by the Panic. I find this hard to believe. I don't have access to the source. Maproom (talk) 07:17, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I find that I do have access to the source, thanks to the Wikipedia Library. I have edited the article to reflect what the source says. Maproom (talk) 07:45, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
