It was not uncommon for him to discuss government affairs with other people while sitting on a park bench. This became his most famous characteristic. In 1960 on his ninetieth birthday a commemorative park bench in Lafayette Park across from the White House was dedicated to him by the Boy Scouts. He continued to advise on international affairs until his death on June 20 1965 in New York City at the age of 94.

1855025988Philadelphia: Childs & Peterson 1855. Octavo. 2nd edition with additional notes by the author. When Byrne issued this book first in 1833 he argued that it was always contagious. The Boston Medical Magazine said its theory was interesting but specious. In the early 19th century the causes of cholera like that of other diseases was rooted still not in science but a variety of traditional theories. As a major physician in the U.S. Army he continued to note that cholera and yellow fever were so obviously contagious that he advocated quarantine. He notes that when his first essay appeared in 1833 only two of 140 physicians in Baltimore took his views seriously. His view began to be taken seriously by the time of this edition though it would be nearly half a century before Walter Reed and others convinced the medical community of its reality. Though he intended for this copy to go to President Pierce it never was officially received and ended up in the library of C.A. Morgan his bookplate is on the front endpaper. Later by Dr. J.T Jenkins of Phoenix. Bound in publisher’s dark blue embossed cloth spine lettering gilt some notes in pencil to front free endpaper spine faded. A very nice copy internally fresh.

There is a rough spot inside rear board and slight discoloration insides the boards. Bernard Mannes Baruch August 19 1870 - June 20 1965 was an American financier stock investor philanthropist statesman and political consultant. After his success in business he devoted his time toward advising U.S. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt on economic matters. Baruch became a broker and then a partner in A.A. Housman & Company. With his earnings and commissions he bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange for $19000 $552960 in 2016 dollars. There he amassed a fortune before the age of 30 by profiting from speculation in the sugar market; at that time plantations were booming in Hawaii. By 1903 Baruch had his own brokerage firm and gained the reputation of "The Lone Wolf of Wall Street" because of his refusal to join any financial house. By 1910 he had become one of Wall Street's best-known financiers. In 1916 Baruch left Wall Street to advise President Woodrow Wilson on national defense and terms of peace. He served on the Advisory Commission to the Council of National Defense and in 1918 became the chairman of the new War Industries Board. With his leadership this body successfully managed the US's economic mobilization during World War I. In 1919 Wilson asked Baruch to serve as a staff member at the Paris Peace Conference. Besides a reprint of the report of the War Industries Board of WWI this book includes Bernard Baruch's program for total mobilization of the nation as presented to the War Policies Commission in 1931 and material on priorities and price fixing. This is a timely and valuable compilation of the writings of B. M. Baruch on industrial mobilization for war a subject to the study of which he has devoted most of his spare time for many years. As the director and genius of our trail-blazing organization along these lines in World War I he had a more intense experience with these principles than any other living man --and it was successful. This pioneer work created a pattern of organization and method for war-regulation of industry which both the Germans and the British have acknowledged and adopted as far as it is adaptable to their systems. At the close of the First World War this work was applauded by nearly all the great war leaders--Woodrow Wilson Lloyd George Winston Churchill Clemenceau Hindenburg Ludendorff and Pershing to name only a few. Year after year after Mr. Baruch collaborated lectured or advised with the War College the Industrial College and the General Staff of the Army with Committees of Congress in the press and at civilian colleges to try to help keep the economics of the Industrial Mobilization plan alive and adaptable to the changing circumstances of a world in almost constant turmoil. This important work was reprinted shortly before the United States became a formal belligerent in the Second World War. Prentice-Hall, Inc hardcover
