In-8, reliure pleine toile de l'éditeur, XXX-672 pp. America's Greatest Contribution to Political Philosophy By Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, Reproduced from the Original Texts. Edited, with introduction and Notes By Jacob E. Cooke. "Série de quatre-vingt-cinq articles signés « Publius » et publiés entre octobre 1787 et août 1788 dans le New York Packer. Leurs auteurs étaient trois des personnalités dont le rôle avait été fondamental dans la rédaction de la Constitution des États-Unis : Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804, qui fut l'âme de l'entreprise et écrivit près des deux tiers des articles), James Madison (1751-1836, futur président des États-Unis) et John Jay (1745-1829, qui devint président de la Cour suprême). Le but des trois hommes était de dissiper les réticences, particulièrement vives dans l'État de New York (dont l'accord était indispensable) à l'égard de la Constitution, en tentant d'en décrire, expliquer et justifier les divers articles. Les Federalist Papers s'articulent autour de quatre thèmes principaux : grandeur et décadence d'un système politique libre et démocratique ; défense et illustration du fédéralisme ; critique sévère de la Constitution précédente, analyse et apologie de la Constitution proposée. Remarquablement écrits, les Federalist Papers sont devenus un texte classique parce qu'ils sont à la fois le meilleur exposé des intentions des constituants américains (la Cour suprême s'y réfère souvent dans ses arrêts) et un exemple stimulant de la pensée politique nord-américaine, particulièrement féconde au xviiie siècle."

8°. 15 pages. Softcover. Original Pamphlet. Original brochure. Dogeared. Foxed. Extremely rare original pamphlet reflecting the costs, revenue possibilities etc. of the times previous, in and after the American Civil War. Jay Cooke (August 10, 1821-February 8, 1905), American financier, was born at Sandusky, Ohio, the son of Eleutheros Cooke (1787-1864), a pioneer Ohio lawyer and Whig member of Congress from that state in 1831-1833 and member of the Ohio General Assembly. Jay Cooke received a preliminary training in a trading house in St. Louis, Missouri, and in the booking office of a transportation company in Philadelphia. At the age of eighteen, he entered the Philadelphia house of E.W. Clark & Company, one of the largest private banks in the country. Three years later, he was admitted to membership in the firm and, before the age of 30, was also a partner in the New York City and St. Louis branches of the Clarks. In 1858, he retired from the firm, and, for the next three years, he devoted himself to reorganizing abandoned Pennsylvania railways and canals and placing them again in operation. On January 1, 1861, he opened the private banking house of Jay Cooke & Company in Philadelphia and quickly floated a war loan of $3,000,000 for the state of Pennsylvania. In the early months of the American Civil War, Cooke collaborated with the secretary of the treasury Salmon P. Chase in securing loans from the leading bankers in the Northern cities; his own firm was so successful in distributing treasury notes that Chase engaged him as special agent for the sale of the $500,000,000 of so-called "five-twenty" bonds which were callable in 5 years and matured in 20 years authorized by Congress on February 25, 1862. The treasury department had previously failed in selling these bonds. Cooke secured the influence of the American press, appointed 2,500 sub-agents, and quickly sold $11,000,000 more in bonds than had been authorized. Congress immediately sanctioned the excess. At the same time, Cooke influenced the establishment of national banks, and organized a national bank at Washington and another at Philadelphia almost as quickly as Congress could authorize the institutions. In the early months of 1865, with the government facing pressing financial needs in the wake of disappointing sales of the new "seven-thirty" notes by the national banks, Cooke's services were again secured. He sent agents into remote villages and hamlets, and even into isolated mining camps in the west, and persuaded rural newspapers to praise the loan. Between February and July 1865 he disposed of three series of the notes, reaching a total of $830,000,000. This allowed the Union soldiers to be supplied and paid during the final months of the war. It was in this effort that he pioneered the use of price stabilization. This practice, whereby bankers stabilize the price of a new issue, is still in use by investment bankers in IPOs and other security issuances. (Source: Wall Street by Charles Geisst) REALLY ?? In the Republican nominating process of 1868, which eventually saw Ulysses S. Grant as the Republican party standard-bearer, Cooke backed Radical Republican Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase for President. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.

Single sheet, 43.8x25.4 cm (16 15/16 x 10 inches), printed on both sides, large map of the projected system on verso. This bond issue was approved by Congress in May 1870. The Northern Pacific Railway, a transcontinental railroad that operated across the northern tier of the western United States from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest, was chartered by Congress on 2 July 1864. It was given nearly forty million acres of land grants to be used to raise money for construction. New England businessman and promoter Josiah Perham (1803-1868) was elected its first president on 7 December 1864. For the next six years, backers of the road struggled to find financing. "The backing and promotions of financier Jay Cooke in the summer of 1870 brought the first real momentum to the company. In 1873, Northern Pacific made impressive strides before a terrible stumble. Rails from the east reached the Missouri River on June 4. After several years of study, Tacoma, Washington, was selected as the road's western terminus on July 14, 1873. For the previous three years the financial house of Jay Cooke and Company had been throwing money into the construction of the Northern Pacific. As with many western transcontinentals, the staggering costs of building a railroad into a vast wilderness had been drastically underestimated. Cooke had little success in marketing the bonds in Europe and overextended his house in meeting overdrafts of the mounting construction costs. Cooke overestimated his managerial skills and failed to appreciate the limits of a banker's ability to be also a promoter, and the danger of freezing his assets in the bonds of the Northern Pacific. Cooke and Company went bankrupt on September 18, 1873. Soon the Panic of 1873 engulfed the United States, beginning an economic depression that ruined or nearly paralyzed newer railroads . Northern Pacific slipped into its first bankruptcy on June 30, 1875" (Wikipedia). Light tanning, else a fine copy.

Broadsheet, 30 x 21 1/2 inches. Old folds, separation at folds. Loss at edges, affecting some text. Still good. Large broadsheet circular issued by Jay Cooke & Company proclaiming the virtues of the 7-30 Treasury Note. The top third of each side bears a large woodcut eagle, the front emblazoned with the title in bold type and the eagle holding a banner in its beak which reads: "Our National Debt May be a National Blessing!" The verso has the same eagle with the headline "Patriotic Songs!" and a banner which reads: "Your Sons and your Money on your Country's Altar!" The circular is filled with articles which detail the ways in which the debt is a blessing and how your purchase of 7-30 bonds is a patriotic duty. Seven-thirty notes were three year treasury notes which bore interest at a rate of 7.30%. They were first issued in 1861 to help fund the Union war effort, and were again issued in 1864 and 1865. Jay Cooke (1821-1905) has been called "the financier of the Civil War" because of his firm's wild success at marketing treasury bonds such as the 7-30 note. A striking broadsheet.

The banker who founded Jay Cooke & Co. proved remarkably successful as a fiscal agent for the U.S. Treasury, selling far more government bonds than was thought possible; later he financed western railroad construction such as the Northern Pacific and mines in Utah. ANS, 1p, 5 3/4" X 7 3/4", Philadelphia, PA, 1902 January 27. Very good. On his "Fourth & Library Streets" letterhead, Cooke complies with an autograph request in his large, bold, flamboyant script.

JAY COOKE (1821-1905). Cooke was an American financier and investment banker who helped to finance the Union effort during the Civil War. ALS. 1pg. January 21, 1864. 114 South Third Street, Philadelphia. An autograph letter signed "Jay Cooke" on his office letterhead. It is Civil War dated and addressed to members of his firm, Jay Cooke & Company. "Let not sleep close your eyes or rest to the soles of your feet before you have read and acted upon this communication. It is too bad, outrageous. Please see the secty & get him to order these duplicates issued at once & report fully tomorrow. Yours truly Jay Cooke".
