Title page torn without loss foxing. First edition. 28 xix 280 118pp. Folding tables. Uncut. 8vo. The establishment of the Second Bank of the United States in 1816 prompted immediate distrust of the institution with opponents charging it as constitutionally illegitimate and a direct threat to Jeffersonian agrarianism. With more local banks than any other state Maryland faced an unprecedented demand on specie from out-of-state banks and thus passed a bill calling for a tax on bank notes not issued by banks chartered within the state. The only such bank was the Baltimore branch of the Bank of the U.S. The cashier of the Baltimore Bank of the U.S. refused to pay the tax and the ensuing lawsuit would eventually make its way to the Supreme Court leading to the monumental decision in McCulloh v Maryland which held that the State could not tax a branch of the United States Bank and affirmed federal powers not delineated within the Constitution.<br/><br/>Anti-banking prosecutors in Maryland however did not take the defeat in the Supreme Court lightly. Instead they indicted McCulloh and the President of the Baltimore bank of the U.S. James A. Buchanan 1768-1840; not to be confused with the U.S. President on conspiracy charges relating to 3 million dollars in loans that Buchanan and McColloh had extended to themselves and friends without proper collateral and without informing the directors of the parent Bank of the U.S.<br/><br/>This scarce work comprises the reports indictments and evidence presented on the banking conspiracy cases brought against Buchanan and McCulloh published by the Directors of the Bank of the U.S. as part of their attempt to recuperate losses and address public .<br/><br/>Scarce with only a single example in the auction records in the last quarter century.

Very Good. <br/><br/> This is one of several printings of the Bank's December 3d response to President Jackson's removal of the federal deposits. The Bank says its chairman Nicholas Biddle "has devoted itself anxiously and exclusively to the.restoration of the currency the maintenance of the general credit and the accommodation of the internal and foreign trade of the country." President Jackson has added an additional requirement to its job description: "to consult the political views of those who had now obtained the ascendancy in the Executive." Biddle and his Committee denounce the "interference of the Government" in Bank affairs. The Report contains much information and documentation of the battle between Jackson and the Bank. <br/>AI 17533 5. unknown books
