Abstract
In this paper an attempt is being made to represent the ‘financial crisis’ that took place in 1720 in the South Sea House which was mentioned in the literature of those days, and additionally how this crisis set precedence to the use of the term ‘Bubble’ for any financial crisis thereafter.
